if I had a dollar…
for all the times I heard…”Greg, hi, you’re from getstaffed right…? Um, I was wondering….”
Where are all the jobs?!?
Hmm. What we really want is a million jobs, that you guys can all choose from. I’m talking about real jobs, not ‘registrations of interest’ or ‘projects that will be starting …’ or ‘oh sorry, that project has been cancelled’ jobs.
This is getstaffeds biggest problem. Our hiring companies prefer to search, and contact our members directly. I can understand why, its just easier. No hassle with approval, etc., just search, contact the people, and get them on if there is an opportunity. Which is how getstaffed is meant to work, but it doesn’t look like much is happening on the site.
And… we’re not that big. Hiring companies are getting used to the concept of paying $3/hour rather than … quite a lot more than that! We’re looking at hiring some more people to speed things up, because theres a lot of companies, and just Andrew and I at the moment.
Weve also got some plans to let you contact businesses when they are searching, so you can actually get in touch directly with the companies, which is the whole point of getstaffed. We need to run those ideas past some of our businesses first, but we will let you guys know!
cheers
Greg
