Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
So what does putting repeated job ads for electricians on job boards like Seek / Indeed with no outcome mean?
Across the electrical industry many companies continue an endless cycle of posting job advertisements on job boards hoping that somehow the next advertisement will work.
In fact, there’s 9,000 companies like you looking for GOOD locally qualified electricians as well. Check this out yourself by jumping on to a job board like Seek, searching for an electrician job ad as if you were a jobseeker and see this for yourself.
Your ad is one of 9,000+ other job ads. As an FYI, there are about 20 employer related job ads per page. This means your ad could be on page 10-450 given your job ad placed today is on page 10 and beyond.
Do you really think GOOD candidates are sifting through 100+ pages of job ads?
GOOD locally qualified electricians are rarely unemployed and rarely are GOOD locally qualified electricians scrolling through pages of job boards.
Yet it’s basic human psychology that every person working faces a work-related pain point. Whether it is lack of work variety, lack of a career pathway, a change in corporate culture, having young kids to look after now where previously a FIFO role may have worked etc.
The passive candidate unhappy but employed because they have a family & mortgage to feed.
It’s these passive job seekers who electricianXchange has on its database as a specialist in this niche - in fact 72,000 of them across Australia. Most are working yet quietly open to the right opportunity when approached confidentially in a time frame which suits them.
Job boards attract active job seekers. Not the passive job seekers. And it’s the passive job seekers who are the jewel in the crown from where we sit.
At electricianXchange we take a different approach to electrician hiring. We place zero job ads because we know every man and his dog is doing this - such that any candidate if found via the jobs board, is in an open auction with 7-10 other employers like yourself. So, the hourly rate becomes the basis of employer selection – not genuine interest in the role.
We have a specialist database to hunt from - and that’s where we focus on.
If you are tired of using job boards, why don’t you give us a call on 1300 353 364 or email us at info@electricianXchange.com and ask to have a chat to our founder Ray (https://www.linkedin.com/in/raypavri/) who has 35 years of relevant experience within the electrical niche?
