Online Recruiting an Efficient Hiring Strategy for Understaffed Startups in Growth Mode
Early-stage companies often have valuable people and unique cultures that differentiate them from larger companies and other startups. As they grow communicating these qualities to job candidates becomes time consuming and difficult to scale. HireClix, an interactive recruitment marketing agency, today announced it will begin offering recruiting marketing services specific to the needs of startup companies.
GLOUCESTER, MASS. - January 18, 2011 – Explosive growth – the dream of every startup company. Before the sales take off and everyone one falls in love with the product, the first wave of explosive growth for startup companies comes in hiring. HireClix, an interactive recruitment marketing agency, today announced it will begin offering recruiting marketing services specific to the needs of startup companies. Services will include set-up and administration of Applicant Tracking Systems and digital recruitment marketing services such as, search engine optimization, pay-per-click recruiting campaigns and targeted advertising. HireClix also offers expertise on social media recruiting strategies and the importance of creating an employment brand at an early stage.
The foundation of the startup recruiting services includes a best of breed Applicant Tracking System (ATS) – a modern, user-friendly recruiting infrastructure that helps organizations in any stage communicate better internally and externally and be more efficient during the hiring process. The solution enables companies to comply with guidelines from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) from a very early stage, avoiding potential liabilities down the road. The ATS, along with a branded career site, creates a professional, modern face for the hiring company and allows it to be extremely responsive to candidates during the recruiting process. With these tools, startups will have greater ownership of the conversation with applicants and create a more positive candidate experience.
“Many early-stage technology companies are so focused on building their businesses they don’t realize they need to be EEOC compliant once they have just 15-20 employees. We provide them the infrastructure to do so cost effectively and the service model to be a long term business partner as they continue to grow,” said Neil Costa, CEO of HireClix.
Early-stage companies often have valuable people and unique cultures that differentiate them from larger companies and other startups. Communicating these qualities to job candidates becomes time consuming and difficult to scale. After the first few dozen employees join, personal networks have been tapped and hiring begins to divert time away from the core business goal.
“Growth companies need to invest in building their employment brand and showcasing their culture, benefits and other team members to attract the best talent,” said Costa. “Big job boards are less and less effective. Blogs, videos and social media recruiting are excellent ways to give startup candidates a taste of the culture and highlight the company’s key attributes.”
Despite limited human resources and recruiting manpower, startups can still run world-class recruiting campaigns using HireClix’s turnkey solutions. HireClix helps growth companies highlight their cultural assets to targeted audiences for a very reasonable investment, helping them go beyond job boards and other expensive recruiting options.
