Hiring guides

Straight answers to the questions employers ask when a role gets too many applicants.

• Too many applicants for one job? How to find the best ones fast

  Got hundreds or thousands of applicants for one role? Define your must-haves, screen every resume against them the same way, and interview only the top of the ranked list.

• How to screen hundreds of resumes quickly

  Screen resumes fast without losing good candidates: use a fixed scorecard of must-haves, judge every resume against it, and rank applicants instead of deciding one by one.

• How much does it cost to hire through a job post?

  Compare the common ways to pay for a job post and applicant screening: free posts, pay-per-click sponsored posts, recruiting agencies, and flat-fee screening services.

• How to write a job description that attracts qualified applicants

  A job description that brings qualified applicants is specific: a clear summary, real responsibilities, a short list of true must-haves, and nice-to-haves kept separate.
