Re: E-recruiting (job searching from a distance)

Hi,

As a software company, we have a web page dedicated to job postings
(http://www.mps-inc.com/about/job_board.htm, in case you're interested), and
a common e-mail address that points to a common folder available to the
people who hire in all the departments. Currently, we get maybe 2-5 resumes
a day via this source. I peruse them every few days, but the majority are
not specifically for tech writers. We have never used a recruiting service,
though we have posted jobs on sundry posting services (monster.com, etc)
which resulted in a fair bit of junk e-mail, if nothing else.

So, I don't know about other departments, but we try to keep on top of the
resumes that come in and sift through them for any good ones.

Just my 2 cents. Thanks. DB.

I would like to hear how others handle electronic job searches, especially
if that search has been successful and I'd like to hear from the recruiters'
perspective, i.e., what gets their attention.
