Why Job Boards Work Better for Recruiters When used effectively, job boards may be a terrific resource for finding candidates. Recruiters generally have a wide range of ads on job boards, giving them an advantage over businesses who just post a couple of positions because a candidate may apply for one position but be more qualified for a different role the recruiter is working on. Because recruiting agencies use a shared ad budget, they are less likely to have an ad miss an increase in traffic because it exceeded its daily budget. The best agencies also have an employee with copywriting skills to create lively, specific job ads with keywords and phrases that target the right audience. Recruiters have the tools to quickly find and screen top talent, as well as the knowledge to identify applicants with the required job skills. They also have developed a candidate network of both active and passive candidates. Instead of waiting for the ideal applicant to post on a job board, they can rapidly connect with highly qualified professionals as soon as a new position becomes available. Recruiters utilize job boards as one of several avenues to identify new talent. Employers are more likely to succeed when they collaborate with a recruiter who has the necessary experience to find outstanding candidates.
