 e-Resumes
Many
of the major job search sites on the Internet offer resume
posting, resume distribution, and web resume services (conversion
of your resume to HTML format for display as a stand-alone
website).
Inspire Careers takes the confusion out of the
process by offering all of these services to our clients through
affiliate relationships we have developed with experts in
the electronic resume industry.
Resume
Posting
Resume
posting is the process by which you make your resume available,
electronically, to employers and recruiters by submitting
your resume to their websites. Posting your resume on the
web can lead to opportunities that may not be advertised through
traditional means. Inspire Careers recommends, and offers resume posting services on the top executive
job search websites, including ExecuNet
(www.ExecuNet.com),
RiteSite (www.RiteSite.com),
The Ladders (www.TheLadders.com),
Blue Steps (www.BlueSteps.com), NetShare (www.NetShare.com), and others. Posting resumes and job alerts on these websites usually requries a subscription or membership fee with the website. Posting services are priced using our hourly rate of $150/hr.
On RiteSite, we will post up to 4 “identity revealed”
resumes and up to 3 “identity concealed” resumes,
using a combination of your industry, functional, and salary
preferences. We will also post up to 16 “Opportunity Alerts,” paying special attention to identification
of your targeted industries, positions, and salary ranges.
We'll do as many combinations as possible. Please ask us about
pricing for this service.
We also post on a
variety of other executive recruiter and job search websites. We will post
your resume (and profile or cover letter if necessary) on
the websites of your choice. Pricing
is $25 per website. For a list of recommended job search
and recruiter websites, click
