Want to Post a Job? Why Betterteam Is the Way to Go

October 10, 2016 By Jessica Mouser 20 Comments

According to Fast Company, “Small businesses typically worry they’re living in bigger companies’ shadows in the talent market, but…research suggests they may have a hidden edge.”

We're Hiring-Post a Job

87% of those who participated in a LinkedIn survey said that, given the choice, they would prefer to work for a small business over a large corporation. 87% is a pretty significant majority. So if you’re a small business, take heart—many people want to work for you.

However, hiring people can be an overwhelming task, especially if you’re a startup just beginning to expand. It can be challenging to keep track of the various places where you have posted your job openings, not to mention the hassle of organizing people’s information after they start applying.

Betterteam Simplifies the Process

An excellent resource for simplifying the hiring process when you want to post a job is Betterteam. It’s easy to waste time continually copying and pasting the same information onto multiple sites such as Indeed, Monster, or LinkedIn. But Betterteam streamlines the many details involved with finding new employees.

The job posting software provides one platform where you can log in and enter the necessary information for the job you’re advertising. You thus eliminate the need for multiple tools, such as spreadsheets, because you can manage your tasks in one location.

Through Betterteam, you can add free job postings on over 100 sites, and you also have access to discounted premium advertising. Click To Tweet

The app comes with an ad-building tool that is simple and user-friendly. What’s more, Betterteam makes it easy for you to post jobs on your own site. The job boards are easy to create, do not require HTML coding, and are mobile friendly.

Preparing to Post a Job

If you’re a small business looking to hire your first employee, there are a number of steps you should take before you post a job. Bringing new people into your company increases your risk, so you make sure that you have liability insurance before you hire anyone.

Then identify the areas where you need help. Don’t simply try to hand off tasks that you don’t want to do. Rather, look for employees who can work in areas where you lack expertise. Once you’ve identified those responsibilities, categorize them into different skill sets from which you can create positions. Remember that you don’t have to hire someone full-time. You can always look for a part-time employee or even an intern.

Applicant Tracking System

Once you’ve successfully set up your postings on various job sites, your next task is to evaluate the people who are interested in working for your company. One of the most useful Betterteam features that will help you do so is the applicant tracking system.

Through this system, all of the applicants’ information comes to you in one place. You can easily view contact information, resumés, and where candidates are in the application process. You can even use sticky notes to communicate with your team regarding each applicant.

There are a couple of tactics Fast Company recommends to keep in mind as you assess and interview new employees. Be straightforward about how you can help employees’ careers. Even people who want to work for small companies will not stay for long if you are not going to help them advance in their professions.

Make sure that you will be compensating new hires sufficiently. While doing so can be challenging for small companies with limited resources, there are still creative ways you can make yourself attractive to job seekers.

And even when the recruiting process is over, make sure you’re getting continual feedback from the people you’ve hired. Find out what they appreciate about your company and what will make them stick around long-term. It costs a lot of money to hire and train new people. Make sure that your efforts will be worthwhile.

Don’t Get Carried Away

As your business grows, a common pitfall for many startups is premature scaling. Don’t try to accomplish more than you can handle, misplace your priorities, or get carried away hiring employees. You could end up not being able to pay everyone whom you have hired. Startups have a greater tendency to fall into the premature scaling trap than larger companies do. Larger companies have more familiarity with their product and how the market relates to it.

So be mindful of the dangers, implement wise strategies, and take advantage of tools such as Betterteam. With these tactics, your hiring process can be smooth and result in a competent and supportive team.

      Hi Muller,

      Thanks for taking the time to comment. Posting jobs on many sites is tedious, so what BetterTeam is doing makes a lot of sense. Personally, I collect talent so I can recommend them to others, but even I don’t always have a connection with capacity to take on a new client. And most freelancers aren’t looking for full-time employment. For those who need full-time employees this could be a strong solution.

    Excellent article, Jessica. I can especially relate to the “premature scaling” aspect. I have seen several startups suffer this demise when not planning carefully. Seasonal traffic can play a critical role in these situations and are often not seen. Sadly, companies will hire too fast and then have to either let staff go or fold completely.
