Even more exciting, Candidate Seeker is fast and inexpensive. Job Opportunity Notices are generally sent within 48 hours of their receipt from the customer and the cost is usually less than newspaper advertising. Here's the real ZINGER -- Candidate Seeker Job Opportunity Notices often get 10 to 20 times better response than newspaper advertisements.

Why isn't newspaper classified advertising  more effective?  Because the engineer, scientist, executive or other candidate sought is on the beach with her family on Sunday -- he's skiing with a friend -- she's on a date -- he's taking the kids to a play in the park -- she's on a romantic retreat in the mountains -- he's watching the game -- she's finishing her thesis -- he's taking knitting lessons -- she's rebuilding the small block 307 on a 1963 candy apple red split back Corvette -- he's helping out at the soup kitchen on Third Street -- They are not going to read your newspaper ad on Sunday but they will read their email on Monday.

Who reads newspaper classified advertisements?? According to many experts, the bored, the disgruntled, the unhappy, the unemployed, the unemployable and, once in awhile, a genuine grade "A" job candidate.

Who reads their e-mail? All desirable cutting edge professionals.

Classified Ads can't target individuals based on their career experiences, Candidate Seeker targets precisely.

Classified ads can't reach those who don't read them. You know the type -- busy, energetic, hard working employed people who spend their weekends focused on their spouses and children, family and friends, or community commitments -- and who spend their weekdays working hard at their jobs.  (Aren't those the kinds of people we are all looking to hire?).

Candidate Seeker advertisements are almost always read by their targets.

Newspapers can't verify delivery to the appropriate readers. They can't even take a wild guess. Candidate Seeker provides verification.

Why aren't Job Advertising Web Sites more effective? There are thousands of "Help Wanted" sites on the Web. Who's got time to visit them? Besides, many are slow and tough to navigate. As a user they are frustrating and time consuming. As an advertiser, you are only reaching those desperate enough to spend days on the Internet searching for a job.

The Candidate Seeker Advantage

When it comes to recruiting technical workers, newspaper classified ads are minimally effective. If newspaper classified ads accomplished their task, employers would not pay recruiter fees of $10,000.00 to $20,000.00 to hire a single molecular biologist, computer programmer, or project engineer.

Why don't newspaper ads and job hunting web sites work?  Newspaper classified ads are passive. They only gain the attention of those actively seeking employment. Job hunting web sites share the same passive traits. Recruiters on the other hand are aggressive. They cold call prospective candidates and stir the interest of those who thought they were happily employed or were not actively seeking a new employer.. Consequently, recruiters are much more effective than advertising in newspapers or on websites. The market's belief in the comparative effectiveness of aggressive prospecting over newspaper and website advertising is demonstrated by the extraordinary fees recruiters collect and the substantial demand for their services.

Candidate Seeker employs the aggressiveness of the recruiting professional and  prospects targeted candidates in quantities recruiters could previously only dream of,  while maintaining a price point close to or less than traditional newspaper classified advertising. Almost always a $299. Candidate Seeker Advertisement will generate 10 times the response of a similarly priced advertisement in a major newspaper.. Furthermore, the responding candidates more closely match the requirements of the position because Candidate Seeker allows for one hundred times more text in the advertisement without increasing the customer's investment. Candidates equipped with more information about the company and position, in an easy to relay email format, pass the Candidate Seeker Advertisement along electronically to more qualified peers and associates. It’s like a legitimate chain letter.

How does Candidate Seeker Work?

Candidate Seeker provides proactive candidate targeting, locating, contact and presentation services based on internet access and e-mail delivery. Candidate Seeker outperforms passive recruitment tools like classified advertising and Internet websites because it pursues potential candidates rather than waiting and hoping that they will come looking for a job. .

Client employers submit a job notification via Internet, email, fax or voice. The data store is querried by a Candidate Seeker Querry Artist, based on the qualifications desire, and a targeted group of email addresses is assembled .

A "Job Opportunity" message is drafted by a Candidate Seeker representative and merged with the selected email addresses. Unlike bulk e-mail, the messages are sent individually directly to each recipient's mail service. Unlike "BCC" and other bulk e-mailing techniques, candidates know exactly who sent the message -- Candidate Seeker.

Don't confuse Candidate Seeker with bulk e-mailers that mail hundreds of  thousands of  messages per hour in the hopes that some of the mail will end up in an appropriate mailbox.  We only mail to qualified prospects.

When the target recipient reviews incoming e-mail, the "Position Available" message is read. The prospect can refer the message to an associate via e-mail forwarding or by printed document. Respondents can apply for the position via e-mail, via fax or by voice phone.

What kinds of job candidates does Candidate Seeker recruit most successfully?

All types of candidates.  Our customers have succeeded in hiring everything from restaraunt kitchen help to corporate officers. 

Some Candidate Seeker advantages over classified advertising?

A classified advertisement in the Philadelphia Inquirer that is one column wide and two inches long can cost more than $400.00. One can’t get much of an ad into that tiny space. Candidate Seeker provides for up to two typed pages for less cost.

What about newspaper classified display ads? A small display ad can cost over a thousand dollars and is still not very effective.
