ZipLabor does one thing: Temporary Short-Term Labor and it does it efficiently at a low cost. The WebSite can also be used for Permanent Placement or as a pre employment service. If ZipLabor did not exist, I would recommend to you that you check the following places for Temporary Short-Term Labor:
- A: Employment Services:
- These day labor shops will send you a warm body. You do not choice or know anything about the Labor sent. Computer skills, educations and experience of laborers are unknown. They are Expensive, with no maximum fee.
- B: Local NewsPapers:
- To Post an ad on Sunday, it must be placed by Thursday. There is a High Cost to place an ad and readership of Classifieds are small percentage of readers. You have give out your phone number and screen each call you receive, which is time consumming. You will probably get more solicitation, then prospects.
- C: Unemployment Office:
- Warm body available. I Try it and did not like it.
- D: CraigsList:
- This site is well known and has high traffic, but most of traffic is there to chat, not to find workers or work. They have no advance search method. Listing are posted by States on a Last in, First seen bases.
- E: Monster.com/helpwanted???.com:
- Monster brags that they have 16 million resumes, but only filled 100,000 positions last year, not a good record.
- F: Post Flyers/Sign:
- Price effective by not efficient way to find Labor. No regards for Safety. Flyers take time to prepare/distribute and may be removed/covered over immediately.
- G: Ask Friends/Associates:
- Good way to loss freinds/associates. Not Effective and very small chance of Success.
- H: TV/Radio:
- Not Cost Effective.
