A few months ago, we began searching for a new, customer-service-focused member of the LetMeGo team. We chose our new team member, Treeny Sanchez, from among 415 applicants, after 19 interviews. She began helping lodging staff members to add their listings to our database two weeks ago.She is a native of Australia, has vast experience in the travel industry, and is already giving us ideas that will help to improve our service. Welcome to the team, Treeny!
How did we find Treeny, then? We posted the job opening on several sites. Some were free, and some charged a fee. I also sent it to a few mailing lists. Here are the results:
| Site/Service | Cost: | Applications that warranted an interview: |
| Monster | USD95 | 5 |
| Craigslist | USD25 | 11 |
| USD195 | 0 | |
| Indeed.com | Free | 1 |
| NextNY Mailing List | Free | 0 |
| NYTech Meetup Mailing List | Free | 0 |
Clearly, our best investment was Craigslist. Not only was it the least expensive of the paid placements, but it generated the largest number of qualified applicants, including that of our eventual hire, Treeny.
It’s worth noting that Monster sent us the largest number of applications, by far. However, most of these applications were incomplete–apparently, Monster makes it too easy for people to apply without first reading through the details of the position in question. Eventually, Monster’s flood of incomplete or unqualified applicants became a nuisance, rather than a benefit. Monster, it looks like somebody needs to improve their marketplace’s matching algorithm…

It is good to know. Also, it seems like a biz opportunity to talk with Monster people… maybe.. LetMeWork?
Not to mention Likedn complete worthlessness.
Congrats on Treeny. She has been a joy to work with!
Thanks for posting your findings. I’ve been leaning away from Craigslist due to the many “Nigerian scams” which abound. I’ll need to rethink my position as it clearly provided you with the best bang for your buck as well as ultimately, your new hire.
Thank you! I will Treeny know
– I think that Craigslist, as any other large marketplace, works well for some things and not so well for others.

Hey admin, very informative blog post! Pleasee continue this awesome work..
What a awesome post about perfume, I did not believe that you are going to come across one thing the following. A pleasant shock, it comes about almost never, but below we can speak of a real extra value towards reader. Annoy me about blogs generally amateurish write-up not having good type and with errors. Below I am pleasantly astonished. Hopefully allow it to be to some authors, and create for their readers and not to have anything at all on the net!
