Recruitment is a cost of doing business but we can reduce the impact.
Unfortunately, due to relentless price increases from Seek, HealthyPeople had to recently review our Seek-inclusive offering. And while our updated HealthyPeople + Seek ad fee will still be cheaper than going to Seek directly, it doesn’t change the fact that job advertising costs are increasingly a challenge for small businesses.
While eliminating recruitment costs is largely impossible for any business, the next best thing we can do is to control costs and ensure that recruitment spend is maximised.
Here are three ways that you can better control your recruitment spend, maximise its value, and potentially keep it to a minimum.
1. Use HealthyPeople ads (exclusive of Seek) to advertise more frequently.
The price of our HealthyPeople-only ads remains unchanged and is now less than half the cost of the Seek-inclusive ad rates!
Not only are these ads less expensive, they run for 45 days, rather than 30.
These ads also include access to 15 suggested candidates
2. Use our Recruitment Memberships to smooth the cost of job ads out over many months.
3. Por qué no los dos? - Start with our HealthyPeople-only job ad and upgrade to include Seek if needed
