New Years Resolutions to Attract Job Seekers


Job seekers aren’t the only ones with new year's resolutions. January is a great time to reevaluate your processes and see what small changes could make a big difference in the coming year. Here are some tips we get from job seekers who wish the hiring process went more smoothly for them. Remember: with the job market getting tighter for employers, it may take more wooing to get the best candidates to work for your company...and sometimes it's the little things that make a difference.

1. Make sure you know what you want before you post a job. Sounds obvious, but how many times have you posted a job, brought in candidates, and then decided to rework the job description and start over? We hear from job seekers all the time about how they take time off of work and devote a lot of time and effort into applying for positions that in the end are not even filled. Respect the candidates you’re bringing in and save your own time by making sure that you and the internal staff you’re working with know exactly what you want for the position before you post it.

New Text Editor and Spellcheck!

For those of you haven’t posted jobs on JobsInCT.com yet this month, you’re in for a surprise when you log in. The web developers here at JobsInCT.com have been hard at work this winter making improvements that will make your job easier. The biggest change is a new text editor that makes it easy for you to format your job posting without needing to know HTML. Previously, in order to add bullets, bolding, or any other special formatting, you needed to add HTML code into the text box. Now, just use the convenient toolbar buttons to create a snazzy job posting in minutes. The new upgrade also includes spell check, so no more worrying about misspelled words.

We’d love to hear what you think of our new upgrades. Just respond to this newsletter and let us know your thoughts.

Stats from our annual Job Seeker Survey - Who's Using JobsInCT.com?

Every year, we poll the job seekers that use our site to get an idea of who they are, how they find us, and what they think of JobsInCT.com. Here's a sampling of their responses: This year, our Annual JobsInCT.com Survey, showed us that:

  • Many of the registered Job Seekers on the site reside outside of the state of Connecticut

What this means is that, unlike other national job boards and smaller local sites, the state-specific model of JobsInCT.com attracts candidates who have a specific need or desire to work in Connecticut.  Since only real, Connecticut-based jobs are posted on this site, our customers get the benefit of the global reach of the Internet to connect with qualified candidates from  across town, across the state or across the country who want to work in Connecticut.   

  • Over 33% of candidates using JobsInCT.com identify themselves as “fully employed”*....Read more.
