My firm is seeking to hire a new employee, so I have assisted in sending out notices through my various networks to find qualified candidates. One individual recommended that I use the services of the Succession Registry, a relatively new resource first mentioned in the October 2007 edition of Inside Information published by Bob Veres.
Succession Registry is an online career website where Rainmakers, aka employers, can post available positions that can be searched by Wellsprings, aka prospective employees. The service is free for Rainmakers and costs $9.95 per month for Wellsprings. Many have commented that the nominal fee for job seekers increases the quality of the candidates that contact employers regarding open positions, and I agree that it likely succeeds in doing so (Note that Craigslist has done the opposite where employers must pay a $25 fee to post an ad to cut down on the work-from-home advertisements).
