How Is BuildWitt Jobs Different?

You can post openings on loads of job boards. In fact, you probably already do. So why are you considering another job board?

Because BuildWitt Jobs is different. 

You get unique advantages here, like 

• Being easier for candidates to find
• Recruiting people who want to work in your industry
• Integrating your job posts
• Maximizing your recruiting efforts
• Customizing your experience

Let’s take a look.

You're easier for candidates to find

Most traditional job boards are open to employers from all different industries—so you run the risk of getting lost in the shuffle.

And while you’d think candidates could easily find you, that’s not always true. For example, if somebody types in “laborer,” a traditional job board shows them openings for warehouse and factory labor—not just construction.

BuildWitt Jobs is just for contractors in the Dirt World. Everything from the layout to search filters is made to help candidates find you as quickly and easily as possible. 

They can even click your company name on a job description, and it’ll take them to your profile, where they can browse only job openings at your company. So you’re more likely to get recruits’ undivided attention.

You're recruiting people who want to work in the Dirt World

When you post on a traditional job board, who sees those postings? People from all industries. That means you have to wade through hundreds of candidates who don’t really want to work in your industry to find the ones who do.

Recruits on BuildWitt Jobs are different. We tell them upfront that BuildWitt Jobs is just for people who want to work in the Dirt World. 

Does that cost us some candidates? Sure, a few people run screaming at the word “dirt.” But those people wouldn’t work out in your company. You do real work—and they’d leave as soon as they got a blister or scuffed their boots. 

Instead, we introduce you to candidates who are actively looking for opportunities to work in heavy civil construction, mining, utilities, tunneling, earthwork, and other Dirt World industries. 

So you’re connecting with a targeted audience of people who have a high intention of sticking around. (And don’t worry—we regularly tell our millions of followers about BuildWitt Jobs, so you’ll have plenty of quality candidates to choose from.)

BuildWitt Jobs integrates with other systems

You don’t want to worry about reposting your jobs to yet another job board—and with BuildWitt Jobs, you don’t have to. We can auto-import your postings from your own HR system and share them all on BuildWitt Jobs, even if you have hundreds of current openings.

Plus, you can integrate our job board with your applicant tracking system (ATS) so you can track your BuildWitt Jobs applicants in the system of your choice. (Don’t have an ATS yet? No sweat. BuildWitt Jobs has one built in so you can view and manage candidates.) 

We also make it super easy to share your job posts on social media. That’s a big deal, because the next generation of the workforce is hanging out there. If you want to hire them, you need to be able to share your posts where they are. 

You can maximize your recruiting efforts

On a lot of job boards, you just post your job and go on about your business. At BuildWitt Jobs, we want to help you get the most out of your recruiting efforts. (And your recruiting budget!)

Some ways we do that are:

• Giving you data so you can see how your job posts are performing, including how many views and applicants they get
• Integrating BuildWitt Jobs with Google so your posts show up in search results even when a candidate’s not looking on our job board
• Tapping into our own audience—we regularly tell our followers about BuildWitt Jobs and encourage them to sign for job seeker profiles 

Showcase your brand and attract recruits with custom options

Many job boards are plug-and-play. You just drop your info in, choose your membership package, and you’re off to the races. That’s convenient short-term. Long-term . . . well, you need a recruiting experience that’s tailored to you.

With BuildWitt Jobs, you get the best of both worlds. It's super easy to get started, and you can choose from three membership packages or chat with our team to set up a custom package that lets you post as many jobs as you want.

And no matter which package you choose (or create), you’ll always get a customizable profile. It’s super simple to set up, and you get to call the shots. So you can easily share anything you want about your company, like:

• Mission
• Core values
• Employee bios
• Company history
• Social media links
• Photos of the work you do
• Description of the work you do
• What you’re looking for in a recruit
• Videos about your company, crews, and more
• What you have to offer (benefits, training programs, etc.)

All that customization helps you attract the right kind of candidates. The more you can show them who you are and why your work matters, the more they’ll want to work for you. (That’s one of the best ways to solve your people problems.) 

Last but not least, your custom profile will showcase all of your job openings. And candidates can even subscribe to job alerts just for your company, so they’ll see whenever you post a new opening.
