10 things you need to know about what Jobinablog can do for you

Interested in knowing and understanding more about Jobinablog? Here are the answers to the 10 questions I get asked most about what Jobinablog is:

1. Jobinablog.com -  so what is it then apart from a catchy name?  It is a career site that is built individually for each company, keeping their same design, that helps companies recruit staff directly through their own website in a very cost effective way and exciting way. It is also a very good way of developing (or improving) your employer brand.

2. How does it work? It uses the flexible functionality of a blog, to create a wide range of exciting options to display jobs, news, videos, photos, interviews and much more. And because it is a blog, it makes the most of Web 2.0 and allows readers (job seekers) to interact with the website. How can you interact? Using one of four ways 1) RSS feeds 2) Email updates 3) Newsletter subscription 4) Comments. If you want to understand it visually, watch a video presentation (approx 10 mins long).

3. But why a blog format? There are the development on the internet that is really changing the way people read websites. There are 110's of millions, which means that job seekers are very comfortable reading them and interacting with them. In fact the Y Generation and the Z Generation, your employees of the future, probably read them all the time. So to have a chance of recruiting these people, you need to be providing them with a site they want to read.

4. What is a corporate benefit for a blog?  Easy. Google, Yahoo and the other search engines. They love blogs because of the regular fresh content and easily indexed sites. So with good keywords and keyword phrases used in the regularly written text (which we know how to do obviously!), you will see your website featuring higher in natural search results. Search engine optimisation (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM) is made easier.

5. Why have you set it up? Companies moan about recruitment all the time. They complain that everything is getting too expensive, particularly recruitment agencies, yet they do nothing about it. We are really passionate about getting companies to look at recruiting staff directly,to reduce their recruitment costs and not to rely on using expensive third parties.

6. Why is your website so important? The majority of job seekers, will check the career site/job pages of any prospective employer before they even send them a CV. No interesting career information or interesting jobs, means no interested job seekers applying. Talent management and the lack of it, is the No.1 problem effecting companies, yet many DO NOT even use their website to recruit staff. Many companies don't appreciate that using their website should be their PRIMARY recruitment channel. But because they think that it will be complicated and expensive they shy away from engaging with it.

7. How simple is it to implement a Jobinablog career site? It is easy because we do all the work for the client. All they have to do is provide us with relevant information, news, jobs, video, photos etc and then we will create the career site for them in the colours and design of their main website. All they have to do is to provide us with details of their website, and then we attach this newly created site into their existing website.

8. What about managing it? Part of the cost is for us to manage the site for the client, adding jobs and updating news each month. They can have input of course, but they don't have to do anything!

9. So how much does it cost and how long does it take??  It is very cost effective, it is the same cost of one average recruitment fee (CIPD), and that then covers the build, implementation and the management for a whole year. Our pricing page gives exact details. In terms of time, it takes weeks rather than months to go live.
