[Closed] Website To Find New Staff

I am looking for a website (if it exists) where people looking for work can advertise themselves and we can search that for suitable candiates.

LinkedIn?

This is where a very healthy Linkedin account can do you wonders. If it's brand new or you have virtually no connections within the industry it will be useless to you. You could sign up to a premium account for a month or two to increase your ability to search and to 'reach out' (god I hate that term and hate myself for using it).

Place something on Indeed yourself?

LinkedIn is a good bet, but maybe look at your agencies too. Where are you/the role based, and have you got more specifics on the role? I know a very good agency in that sector that I could recommend if it's the right fit.

I'm assuming there isn't an ElectronicsandMechanicalEngineerTrackWorld with a Jobs sub forum?

Linkedin I thought would be a good bet you could find candidates yourself and contact direct.

All a lot of ‘specialist’ recruiters do is trawl LinkedIn so save yourself a 20% fee and trawl LinkedIn. You can also advertise on LinkedIn.

That is so true in the IT sector, there are even offshore service providers that agencies and employers with internal recruiters out source the Linkedin trawling to.

I've sent you a DM Andy

We  have just recruited and are still recruiting in a niche area of a specialist industry.

A quick bit of counting yesterday - our staff popping a job advert link from our website onto Linkedin, specialist Facebook groups and Twitter with a few industry # has got about 10x the response as the two (expensive) recruitment sites we paid for.

I am looking to recruit a new electronics and mechanical engineer.

Big shortage of mechanical engineers apparently, my neighbour was saying Cambridge Consultants were struggling to find enough...

So it looks like linkedin is my best bet as expected.

I have a decent profile as does my company, we post a fair bit.

I noticed the hashtag #lookingforwork, but that just turns up lots of irrelevant hits with limited filtering to the basic user.

Will endeavour to give premium a look.

Thanks all.

Yes, looks like a shortage of all staff and we are busy and expanding.

Agencies are giving us grads (OK) or too experienced (read last job move before retire, I know I can't be ageist). I need 5-10 years experience.
