People are looking for work in the retirement industry but how will they find you? Chances are, with the rapid decline of the print medium, you won't be attracting applicants through the classified ads in newspapers, down 17% in recent industry accounts. A Pew Research Center report in March 09 concluded that just one-third of surveyed Americans would regret the loss of newspapers if they ceased to exist. Job hunters’ habits are changing with the shifting advertising market, establishing the Internet as the best showcase for senior housing job openings at a low cost. With RetirementHomes.com's online searchable database, HR departments at retirement facilities can list openings where job hunters can find suitable positions and drop off electronic resumes. RetirementHomes.com has seen an increase of job seekers utilizing its site for employment searching. Retirement home facilities with paid listings receive free access to the Job Bank. The extensive Job Description area on RetirementHomes.com's includes responsibilities, qualifications, education, and an embedded link to other jobs at all residences within a chain of facilities. The employer can list job criteria and ALL Community and Contact Information. The critical element is the job searchers’ ability to apply online – an instant delivery system to the facility. In today's difficult economy, traditional advertising is tumbling. Employers and employees are finding the Internet to be an inexpensive and productive meeting place.
