JBE 24 days of Christmas (presents) - Day 3 - Where to Host Your Recruiting Website

Where to Host Your Recruiting Website

There are innumerable places on the web to host a website, far too many for me to make reviews of all of them; so I won’t.  Having worked with numerous hosting companies over the past decade, I have some personal preferences based on my own experiences that I will share with you.  Based upon how much technical talent you have in your corporate knowledge store the wise choices for you will vary.

For Super Technologically Talented Firms - If your firm has all the technical talent you need, then you may already be developing and administering your own website.  I would just make a recommendation to you that you try HostGator as your web hosting service - they are terrific.   I would also recommend that you DO NOT USE Ipower.

For Modestly Technologically Talented Firms - If you think that you have the talent within your team to do some of your own development, or at least maintenance I would make the following suggestions - use HostGator as your web host, use GoDaddy as your registrar, and use DreamWeaver as your development tool.  Make heavy use of CSS driven templates - as good source is Lucky Marble.

For Very Light Technologically Talented Firms - If you have light technical talents, you may want to check out the web templates that are available from web hosting services.  My best advice to people in this category is to pretend that you are ‘clueless; and follow the suggestions that I make for that group.  If you’re stubborn, then us GoDaddy as your registrar, your host, and use their overnight website templates to get your site up.  You won’t get the advantage of being able to get your jobs posted easily, but you CAN get a site up that can accomplish some of the goals that I outlined in my first article in the series.

For Clueless Technologically Talented Firms (or those who know how to maximize their intrinsic talents) - If you are ‘clueless’ technologically or if you are brilliant in realizing that you can make more money by spending your time on the things that you do extremely well and let third parties do the work of implementing the technical innards of your website, then the best thing you can do is find a third party source for “turn-key” website implementation.

There are a number of companies that provide websites as part of their service offerings.  Some companies that produce ATS or back-end recruiting software will provide their clients turnkey websites which are integrated with their software package.  You should check out BigBiller, Attract HR, Recruiters Online Network, or look into the service offerings for recruiters of Job Board Engine.
