Whereas the news always concentrates on the negatives -- such as ëretailers eliminating more than 48,000 jobs in Marchí -- this still leaves 15 million people gainfully employed in the retail industry. And with an industry prone to high turnovers, hiring must continue. So, in spite of all the negative reports of the demise of the retail industry, AllRetailJobs.com expects retailers to still hire several million new employees in 2009.
With retailers seeking to reduce expenses, HR is always the first to suffer. Budgets for hiring and training new employees have been slashed, leading to a renewed search for better sourcing solutions. More and more retailers are reducing their reliance on the ìëbig threeî boards and switching to the more affordable AllRetailJobs.com. In some cases major retailers are dropping all but one generalist board and purchasing unlimited job posting packages on AllRetailJobs.com at a fraction of the cost. Some have dropped all other boards and rely exclusively on AllRetailJobs.com.
ìWe have grown from being second banana to the generalist boards to emerge as a true contender,î said Don Firth, president of AllRetailJobs.com. ìWe have a reputation for filling our clientsí store management and hourly positions with candidates who have extensive experience in the retail industry. This greatly reduces training expense and provides retailers with improved customer service.î
ìOur direct traffic has grown to more than 750,000 retail candidates per month,î added Firth. îBy cross-posting to TopUSAJobs.com, Indeed.com and several major local and regional boards, our reach exceeds ten million seekers.î
