Recruitment platforms

Recruitment platforms

(OP)
I need to hire a structural or mechanical engineer either junior or mid level - Which online platforms work best for you all these days? I think I prefer LinkedIn bc I am familiar with the interface but some folks like Indeed. Maybe there are others I don't know about?

RE: Recruitment platforms

We post on Indeed, but don't have much success getting viable applicants for engineering positions from there. Most success has come through using recruiters.

RE: Recruitment platforms

I can't speak from the hiring perspective, but on the flip side I've found LinkedIn to have the most ease of use when searching for a job. It helps to combine networking and job applying all in one place.

Thanks EngrPaper, good to get the job seeker perspective too. I agree that LinkedIn is a better platform

Thanks also WIstructural. I may finish up with a recruiter. If I get one more resume randomly submitted from like a bank teller or a computer engineer for a position entitled “structural engineer” I will have to do something drastic.

RE: Recruitment platforms

I'm trying really hard to discern if stxa's post is a joke or not.

I keep telling myself it's satire, but then again posts on this website never cease to amaze me.

RE: Recruitment platforms

stxa did edit the post ~10 times in 5mins, not sure what was changed, if anything, but not sure if that helps determine if it's satire or not, jury is still out.

RE: Recruitment platforms

sentrifice, my thoughts exactly!! Once I read through it a couple times, I am starting to think that it is a ChatGP generated response of what it a typical response on this forum.

RE: Recruitment platforms

Looks like they used ChatGPT to write the post.

On the other side, I love the AI generated initial message on LinkedIn "Hi, I was reviewing your profile and I think you would be a great fit for this position. We are looking for a triple doctorate in theoretical artificial conceptual intelligence to manage our new location on the dark side of Neptune. Your experience seems like a great fit." Meanwhile, I am wondering how a geotechnical engineer received this message lol

RE: Recruitment platforms

TigerGuy, don't forget the requirement for 20+ years of experience and the expectation of 90k salary.

RE: Recruitment platforms

You mean 20+ years experience in a field that started 3 years ago?

RE: Recruitment platforms

No. I didn't use chaGPT to generate my massage. Sorry, to disappoint you.

And the reason I edit 10 times is because while typing made some mistakes.

RE: Recruitment platforms

My interviews mush shorter than that. I don't even get a chance to draw anything.

RE: Recruitment platforms

"No. I didn't use chaGPT to generate my massage. Sorry, to disappoint you."

So what did you use?

A bottle of Jack Daniels? bugeyed

RE: Recruitment platforms

My brain.

RE: Recruitment platforms

Wow. bomb

RE: Recruitment platforms

stxa,

I guess we all read a little too much exuberance in your post.

I think your writing just needs a little bit of polish and clarity to help the reader understand your qualifications. What you posted seemed a little broken up and disjointed.

RE: Recruitment platforms

I think they get jealous while reading and don't want me to work for them.
