Best job search site needs vetting of jobs
Dear Hiring.cafe,
I know you are trying to beat Indeed and LinkedIn and that's great - everyone needs goals 😊
My problem with LinkedIn and more specifically Indeed is the onslaught of non-vetted, scammy job postings. We waste time filling out their applications and we waste time when they contact us. It's so bad that when a friend of my mine got a job offer (through hiring cafe btw) he still felt - is this real or a scam? Happily, it was real and I'm guessing the scammers have not found hiring.cafe yet.
So my first suggestion - please vet the jobs. Not sure how because I've even seen scammy websites - maybe check the WHOIS and make sure they are legit. IDK - y'all are the info geniuses.
Second, problem with Indeed and LinkedIn, I have been told that there are alot of companies who pay to get their job "seen" even though they are not truly hiring. I am told it is because they want to appear they are growing as a company, but they really don't have a job for anyone. I'm also suspicious that it's a weird kind of advertising for them. It just makes me angry because again we are wasting our time with a non-job. And I have small business friends who posted real jobs, for a decent salary and get no takers. They don't pay to "advertise" the job.
so my second suggestion - tell companies there needs to be a real job behind their "ad"
And then lastly, if you have any sway with the companies - job seekers are bogged down with applying for ONE job. They ask for a resume, a cover letter AND to fill out their application (same info on your resume but we still need to fill it out) sometimes with essays. It only allows us to apply to 1 maybe 2 applications a day because it takes hours.
I am not a job seeker, but my kids and nieces and nephews are - and they all have the same complaints. I wish I could send them to an employment agency where they would find the job for you. the computerized job search was revolutionary when it came out but today - well it sucks. There is a thing about too much.
I'm hoping hiring.cafe will be better. Good Luck! 😊
