And, as a small- or medium-sized business owner, wasting time on anything other than your core business activities can be frustrating and costly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to hiring, you need to find the right candidate at the right time \u2013 and at the right price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that you don\u2019t need to be a big corporate to attract and retain the best candidates \u2013 you add value just as you are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You do, however, need to recruit differently. Pnet, the leading online recruitment platform in South Africa, has job-matching tech that makes the recruitment process both affordable and seamless for SMEs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pnet is more than just a job-board. Our purpose is \u201cThe Right Job For Everyone\u201d, and we\u2019re committed to helping SMEs find the people they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are five benefits of partnering with Pnet to meet your SME recruitment needs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Find the candidates you\u2019re looking for with Pnet\u2019s <em>Job Listing<\/em> solution<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although recruiters often headhunt by searching a recruitment platform\u2019s database, advertising your job vacancy with a Job Listing can be more advantageous.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because with a job advert, your vacancy will get promoted to quality candidates beyond the 6 million registered jobseekers on our database. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you invest in a Pnet Job Listing, your job ad will showcase your company logo and Google Maps location \u2013 building awareness of your brand and where you operate from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pnet amplifies the reach of your job ads through our partner network of aggregators as well as our extensive investment in paid media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also send over 100 million Job Alerts via email every month to candidates who\u2019ve subscribed to receive these. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This reach is important because it means that, no matter how small your business is, you can instantly connect with fresh, new talent \u2013 jobseekers who are actively looking for new opportunities and are ready to move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Optimise the value of your job ad<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing to consider if you\u2019re looking for ways to make smarter hiring choices is the content in your job ad. The importance of writing a great job ad should not be underestimated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more specific and clear you are about what the role entails, and the skills you\u2019re looking for, the more likely you are to get a job ad that performs in terms of the number of applications and the quality of the applicants you get for the vacancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve created an effective job description that\u2019s going to deliver the best matches for the vacant role, you can use Pnet\u2019s Job Listing solution to ensure that the right candidates see your job ad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Get support throughout the recruitment process<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you invest in a Job Listing, you can manage your entire recruitment process seamlessly on a specialist, built-for-purpose recruitment platform: Communicate with candidates directly; comment on candidate profiles and even rate candidates and send bulk letters of regret. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also create talent pools so that you can quickly get back in touch with quality candidates when new vacancies become available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Enjoy free training to get the most out of Pnet\u2019s technology<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Over and above the benefits of investing in a Job Listing rather than simply searching for candidates on a database, Pnet also offers customised solutions or eCommerce options to help you get your Job Listings advertised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is of the <em>utmost <\/em>importance, however, that you create your job ads in such a way that they are working with the technology to get the best matches for a job vacancy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Pnet, we train all new recruiters in this, as a value-added service. Moreover, whether you have a single vacancy, or several vacancies advertised, you will get best bang for your buck if you follow our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pnet.co.za\/blog\/ideal-job-listing\/?utm_source=BusinessTech&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_campaign=August+2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Job Listing guidelines<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong>Get insights and avoid costly hiring mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pnet\u2019s <em>Job Ad Competitor Insights<\/em> tool has been developed to shed light on how your job ads are performing relative to others in the same industry. The tool provides businesses of all sizes with real-time insight into what other businesses are doing differently to secure optimal candidate engagement. If needed, you can then choose to try alternative job titles in the future or make other amendments and proactively improve your candidate delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, you don\u2019t need to have a dedicated Human Resources practitioner in place to make the right connections and find suitable candidates for your vacant roles. What\u2019s more, your job adverts can be both an advertising <u>and<\/u> a brand-building opportunity. With a dynamic, attractive and stimulating representation of your SME and the vacant position, you will be able to stand out from your competitors \u2013 even the big corporates \u2013 and attract the very best candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Are you ready to find connections that work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To find out how Pnet can help you with your SME recruitment efforts, contact us at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pnet.co.za\/?utm_source=BusinessTech&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_campaign=August+2023\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>www.pnet.co.za<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"mailto:sales@pnet.co.za\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>sales@pnet.co.za<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"tel:+27101403099\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>+27 (10) 140 3099<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a  data-lightbox=\"post-image\" href=\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Image_Article-2_red.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Image_Article-2_red-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-710862\" width=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Image_Article-2_red-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Image_Article-2_red-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Image_Article-2_red-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Image_Article-2_red.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the quest to find great talent in a highly competitive employment landscape, SMEs offer employees something large corporates can\u2019t \u2013 hands-on experience, a range of tasks and functions, and the opportunity to learn at different levels and gain technical\/specialist skills. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":57,"featured_media":710858,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10459],"tags":[16912],"class_list":["post-710846","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industry-news","tag-pnet"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/710846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/57"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=710846"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/710846\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":710866,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/710846\/revisions\/710866"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/710858"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=710846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=710846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=710846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
