Online job boards are the most commonly used recruiting tool at small to medium sized organizations, suggests new research from the Inavero Institute´s report, “2008 study of recruiting practices – Insight from the Nation´s Hiring Managers.” More than 50% of respondents used online job boards in the past year. But print has not gone by the wayside, particularly for blue collar jobs and lower income workers. While 47% of recruiters report using so-called “traditional mediums” like radio, tv, and newspaper for job ads in the past year, 75% admit to doing so when searching for hourly employees.
The report finds newspapers the most effective medium when searching for hourly workers at a range of $30,000 annually or less.
