Recruiter News Line

Applicant Tree (http://www.applicanttree.com/)

, an internet job board that pays applicants each time their full resume is viewed, will now be a subsidiary of newly established parent company Three Stars Team (http://www.threestarsteam.com/).

Three Stars Team, an industry leader in their field, collects marketing leads through online job boards with the simple philosophy that an individual is more open to considering advertising offers while applying for a job than at any other time in his or her life. With advertising offers that are of keen interest to job seekers built into the application process, Three Stars is able to offer listing services to employers throughout the country at little or no cost. In addition, the associated advertising enables Three Stars to never have to charge applicants, keeping them in step with competitors.

Applicant Tree takes that philosophy one step further by actually paying job applicants for each full download of his or her resume. The ideology behind traditional recruitment services is that job applicants can be bought or traded as a commodity, but receive no reward for their talents and resources, which is at the very heart of the industry. To reverse this inequity, Applicant Tree charges a small amount to employers to view only the resumes that actually meet their requirements and then half of that amount will be passed directly on to the applicant. This is a huge cost savings to employers as the associated fees are a fraction typically paid to leading Internet job boards, and a veritable boon to applicants who have never had the opportunity to be paid for their job search before.

This approach will attract passive job seekers, i.e. those who are already comfortable at their present job, but who will also consider a more attractive offer should one be presented. With the option to be paid for their time, these individuals will be far more likely to post their resume than under the current non-paid model currently employed by most major job boards.

The day-to-day operations of Internet application service Power Applications will be handled at the corporate headquarters of parent company Three Stars Team, an online marketing company. With centralized operations, individual corporations will be able to draw knowledge from the expert staff of sister companies and improve overall service to clients and partners.

Power Applications serves small businesses by designing and hosting employment Web pages where potential employees can apply online. Businesses can continue to recruit new employees in a manner they are comfortable with, by posting on online job boards or in newspapers, but can then direct applicants from those ads to the online application. Results of the application are delivered in real time.

Each application contains advertising offers that provides these businesses with a unique revenue-sharing opportunity seamlessly rolled into their search for new employees. The advertising dollars generated by the applications both pays for the site and its upkeep as well as paying a portion back to the business. Consequently, not only are the services free and transparent, they actually infuse the business with new revenue.

The inclusion of targeted advertising within employment applications was pioneered by Three Stars Team based on the philosophy that an individual is more open to considering advertising offers while applying for a job than at any other time in his or her life. By selecting verticals that appeal to job seekers, Three Stars Team generates more revenue through this method than by traditional advertising. In turn, this represents tremendous earning potential for small businesses who utilize the services of Power Applications.

Staffing companies are saving jobs and hiring Skilled Tradesmen in the construction industry during this tough economic time. Construction Jobs are usually staffed with skilled tradesmen such as Ironworkers, Pipefitters, Pipe welders, Millwrights, HVAC, and Electricians - these industrial trades are commonly used in commercial and industrial construction as they have been for the past 25 years.

These skilled trades require years of practice and continuing education to master and always require certification of one form or another. Construction Staffing companies have a nationwide reach, enabling tradesmen to work anywhere in the country during these tough times. Skilled Tradesmen can not count on finding local work; these trades are to much of a niche. To find work as a skilled tradesman you must consider traveling to out of town projects where you can earn great pay, bonuses, and per-diem in some cases.

Construction staffing and personnel companies like Grus, Inc. call employees daily to check their employment status and to keep records updated. Skilled workers and tradesmen can also sign up for an automatic Hot Jobs notification service to ensure real time notification of the best opportunities.

Contractors notice these benefits; a company that keeps constant contact with its workforce is a tremendous asset because they generally have the highest quality workers. In these tough times lots of good men and women in the commercial and industrial construction industry are out of work. These construction personnel and staffing companies now have a large pool of some of the best tradesmen and women in the United States. If you need additional Journeymen for your construction project you should consider staffing with a construction personnel company.

The benefits out weigh the costs, usually a staffing and construction personnel company can handle all of the employment background checks, drug screening, skill assessment, payroll, workers compensation, child support, and tax administration - leaving the Contractor and Sub-Contractor to focus on the construction project as a whole. These time saving services not only make working with a construction personnel company enjoyable but they also demonstrate a smart approach to construction management in a recession.

Being smart with your workforce management is necessary in these tough times, making hiring mistakes can cost a significant amount of money in the long run, good quality works and tradesmen can be tough to find if your only looking in your local area. To be smart about your hiring process you must think outside the box and outside the state.

Internet marketing company Three Stars Team has merged with the Web based job board Career Network, and will now serve as the Web site’s parent company. The move by Three Stars Team is but one of many acquisitions the company has been involved with recently.

Three Stars Team, an industry leader in their field, collects marketing leads through their online job boards with the simple philosophy that an individual is more open to considering advertising offers while applying for a job than at any other time in his or her life. With advertising offers that are of keen interest to job seekers built into the application process, Three Stars Team is able to offer listing services to employers - via Career Network - throughout the country at no cost. In addition, the advertising enables Three Stars Team to never have to charge applicants, keeping them in step with competitors.

For employers, Career Network lists open employment positions on its site for free, and then networks those job ads by reprinting them in other media, such as newspapers and Craig’s List, to increase exposure and attract more applications than a typical employment listing will. This effectively multiplies the scope of each job ad to reach deeper into the base of applicants in the employers’ respective areas. These services are offered free because Career Network earns its revenue entirely through associated advertising just the same as all of Three Stars Team’s sites.
