More and more
businesses are going online. You can find potential employees all over the
Internet. The Web is faster and cheaper than using traditional methods.
Advertising on the large general-purpose job boards such as The Monster
Board or Career Mosaic is certainly easy enough.
However, you have no way of knowing if you are reaching candidates with
disabilities. So the best approach is to ask any board on which you are
thinking of advertising for its demographic data. Questions you may want
to ask any general-purpose job board, before posting in their pages,
include:
Is there a resume database and does your fee
allow you access?
Who is the target audience for this job board?
Does the job board specialize in reaching candidates with disabilities?
How does the job applicant contact you?
How many people are accessing this site?
How are the job announcement entered?
How are the postings updated or deleted?
You need to do some research to find boards
that actually reach candidates with disabilities. Many individuals with
disabilities will post their resumes in any one of the several
"Resume Databases" available online.
Some Web sites that specialize in services for businesses and
qualified applicants with disabilities include:
