C.4 Recruiting Services There are many services on the Internet that help employers match individuals to positions. The time saved by conducting preliminary searches on the Internet can be dedicated to interviewing qualified candidates and making the best matches possible. Advantage Hiring, Inc.

When a prospective employee submits a resume for a particular position, Advantage Hiring, Inc. presents Net-Interview , a small questionnaire to supplement the information presented on the resume. The site also offers SiteBuilder, a service that helps employers build an employee recruitment site. An online demonstration can be found at www.advantagehiring.com.

The Internet also provides employers with a cost-effective means of testing their prospective employees in such categories as decision making, problem solving and personality. Services such eTest help to reduce the cost of in-house testing and to make the interview process more effective. Test results, given in paragraph form, present employers with the interested individual s strengths and weaknesses. Based on these results, the report suggests interview methods, such as asking open-ended questions, which are questions that require more than a yes or no response. Sample reports and a free-trial test can be found at www.etest.net. Employers and job seekers can also find career placement exercises at www.advisorteam. net/User/ktsintro.asp. Some of these services require a fee. The tests ask several questions regarding the individual s interests and working style. Results help candidates determine the best career for their skills and interests.
