Start a Job Listing Service from Home  

What you will be doing.  You are fresh out of college.  Your company is downsizing.  Both of these scenarios necessitate the need to find a job.  Where do you look?  You have skills and certain qualifications but that alone won’t find you a job.   

Job listing services marry companies looking for new employees with qualified applicants.  As the owner of a job listing service it will be your goal to help businesses find the type of individual that they need.  As individuals post their resumes, companies will be able to view them and contact the most promising candidates.   

How to start.  If you have experience in human resources, job placement, or company recruitment, then you have some idea of what the business is all about.  You will need to make contact with area businesses that are in need of good people.  If you choose, you can open your business up to companies in any part of the world. 

Find a name for your business that is easy to remember.  Incorporate yourself and get to work.  In order to start, you will need a list of companies that are willing to pay a fee for your service. 

Starting costs.  You will need a home office.  The equipment needed includes:  computer, software, telephone with headset, fax machine, copier, and printer.  Brochures about your service and what it offers will help with advertising.  A website will be the place where jobs are added to the listings and candidates can list resumes to be viewed.  You may spend $2,000 or less depending on your advertising budget.   

Skills needed.  Experience in human resources is a plus.  You will already know how employers think when it comes to hiring individuals.  Organization and attention to detail will provide clients with the best possible service for their money. 

Marketing.  The key is to get them to use your service as opposed to the newspaper or the Yellow pages.  Sending brochures out to local companies gives them a glimpse of your services.  Be sure to mail them to the human resources department since they are the ones in charge of hiring. 

Advertise in business magazines, newspapers, and telephone directories.  Use flyers on college campuses and in unemployment offices to advertise your job listing service to job seekers.  For a fee assessed to the job seeker, offer to do a criminal background check that can be forwarded (with their permission) to all of the companies that choose to view their resume.   

Finding a job is not easy and neither is finding employees that have the right qualifications.  Your job listing service will bring the two together in a neutral environment where each can see if the other is what they want.
