JobSeekers Frequently Asked Questions for Employers or Recruiters
JobSeekers is a free program open to any employers who have positions open in the Quality (or related) fields.
Why should I advertise my position on this site ?
Listings reach over 800 local Quality Professionals. The Baltimore Section ASQ lists job postings free of charge on our web page, and refers to jobs in its listings at our monthly dinner meetings. You may advertise with or without firm identity, as you request and we will maintain complete confidentiality.
How do I get a job placed on the ASQ Baltimore website ?
Send the text of the job description, or a link to a web page with the job description to . Please provide a description of the position (should be about one-page), as well as contact information and web site (if available), and a one-sentence job description for the listing.
The ad should make it clear if the submitter is a recruiter vs. the principal organization. Please look at existing job ads on the site in order to see the types of ads that are regularly posted.
My company already uses a job board, or a recruiting company, why use Jobseekers ?
JobSeekers is specifically viewed at by Quality professionals looking for career and job opening information. You are more likely to attract the type of personnel you need, rather than people looking for a job that they might not be qualified for.
Being free and more focused, JobSeekers supplements your current recruitment program, increasing whatever exposure to the recruiting program that you already have.
Do I need to have a Quality-related position opening to advertise ?
Yes. The position should be a Quality position, or be in a Quality-related field (regulatory, reliability, software testing, etc.). If you are unsure of whether the position qualifies, ASQ has a great Quality Job Titles web page and glossary on Quality that can be reviewed, or send an email to JobSeekers and if eligible, it will be posted.
Note: Looking for “quality personnel” is not the same as offering a quality industry-related position.
Do I need to be a Baltimore-based company to advertise ?
No, but note that if the position is not in the Greater Baltimore / Maryland / Washington area, then the primary audience is not likely the one you are pursuing. You are welcome to post a position anyway, as long as it is quality industry related.
How much does it cost ?
The listing is free, and at this time, the entry remains on the JobSeekers blog for an indefinite time. If the position is filled, then please let us know.
Do you have a listing of xxx candidates that we can look at ?
Does ASQ Baltimore offer a Resume Bank ?
ASQ Baltimore does not offer a resume bank, although ASQ performs a similar service.
Will ASQ Baltimore JobSeekers trade web links with my company ?
ASQ Baltimore will only add links to the JobSeekers Program website if the link is appropriate. If you do not have a web page that is quality-career related, then we will not link to it. This also applies to job link websites that are not quality related. Review the type of information placed on the website to see if your links qualify.
Note: Looking for “quality personnel” is not the same as offering a quality industry-related position.
What do I do if I have any other questions ?
Send an email to .
What else can my company do to improve the number and quality of applicants for my positions ?
Besides taking advantage of the local and national professional organizations in the field of the position that you have open, one of the biggest suggestions I have is to make sure your company’s website (if it has a Job Opening web page) has all of the latest listings. Even if you use a service such as monster.com or careerbuilder.com, many job seekers will look at your website to determine if there are any openings or for more details about the position. At this time, I estimate that for about 40-50% of all local quality-related jobs on Careerbuilder, there is no listing for the jobs on their website. And most often, the company’s own website has outdated job listings.
