A quick way to get a (good) recruitment site up and running

March 17th, 2008 | by Laurent FP |

At Silentale, we launched a splash page quickly after our name became public in order to maintain visibility and to fulfill two major tasks every startup needs to do:

put a very simple form to collect emails to invite them back prior to the launch; and
have an anchor to a few pages to let everyone know you are looking for talents.

Our team is pretty good for now, but we’re always on the lookout for passionate and talented people so we want the word to be out there. If you’re looking, check us out.

Now, this can be done a number of ways, but nothing is easier than through Standoutjobs’ Reception. In a few minutes we had a complete recruitment site up, with overviews, job postings and team members’ profiles. Check it out.

That’s the good part on the public side. There are also a number of tools to publish postings (on various sites, paying and free), candidate management and even a bookmarklet. Yes, while browsing the net, looking up profiles on facebook, linkedin, xing, video, blogs, we were just able to use the bookmarklet and voilà. Everything is saved to the candidate’s folder on Standoutjobs. Makes our life easier and no bookmark tree to review!

Last but not least, when you publish a new job opening, they manage to put it out there. It’s not only accessible on your own site, on standoutjobs.com or on the recruitment sites you chose, but they also publish the information on blogs and boards. Enough to get something going.
