ihireconstruction.com False advertising, ineffective Internet
Our company had placed ads in a number of "free" employment posting sites. It was for a very specific trade related to construction. After getting nothing but resumes with skills completely unrelated to the job requirements, we decided to try someone "in the field" to post our job, with specific qualifiers.
We thought it would be worth the NEARLY $400.00 it cost in order to get resumes that would be "construction related" ... so... I contacted them, discussed our specific challenge and they assured me that we would definitely get good candidates for our job openings.
In the month that we had our ad on their site... we got a total of 6 resumes. 1 resume had minimal experience in a related field, but it was barely related. The rest were for receptionist positions, and computer techs... nothing remotely close to what we needed.
When I emailed my concerns to the company rep... they told me my ad looked good, had all the components to be effective, they would cross list it in another category to boost our chances in the HOUSTON area... the only problem with that was we are in OKLAHOMA. So... when I emailed back with that information, she was embarrassed but assured me she just misspoke and it was in our area.
2 weeks later... still no viable candidate... may I remind you... They CLAIM their applicants are specific to construction... all candidates ... as few as they were ... were very far from the construction field. Receptionists, cooks and computer techs that were not EVEN REMOTELY in our specific field...
It certainly seems like false advertising to me.
Expensive lesson.
