    CareerSiteBuilder
    If you have a job opening or a high turn around rate like we do. (we are a staffing company) [CareerSiteBuilder] is a great place to to start. It is affordable and reaches hundreds of potential employees. When you search resumes sometimes when you enter keywords you have to play around with it to find the right phrasing. Its not difficult just time consuming.

    • Access level could use some improvement for the users. i.e. limited documents tab access vs. eforms tab vs limited portal editing access.
    • Ability to give their administrators more access. i.e. manage and edit team members
    • Ability to give their administrators more access for control over paid e-forms
    • User friendlier way to upload regular documents.
    • Reporting!!!

    Return on Investment
    CareerSiteBuilder
    • We have been able to present MORE candidates to our clients in the staffing industry, and therefore fill more positions.
    • We are able to find MORE QUALIFIED candidates using search features, to in turn fill more direct-hire positions.
    • We have to pay or Career Builder for thousands of people, so that takes away from ROI.
