In the past, recruiting on the Internet meant posting jobs at sites like Monster.com, Hotjobs.com, or SpendingLotsAndLotsOfMoney.com. Poor Richard's Internet Recruiting offers easy, alternative, and inexpensive ways to use the Internet to find employees fast. Industry sites, professional organizations, state and city job banks, ISPs, search engines, forums, mailing lists, newsgroups, and user groups are but a few of the places to find employees online. This book explains how to find these resources and use them efficiently. Other obvious (yet often overlooked) ideas include using search engines to find resumes on personal Web sites, visiting industry-targeted job boards where professionals post their resumes, and joining a professional organization that will post job listings for free.
