Top Companies to Pay Job Seekers to View Their Resumes

Premium Pay for Active Military

TAMPA, Fla., April 11 /PRNewswire/ -- The hunt for a new job just got
easier and more profitable. A new Web site offers an exciting opportunity for
applicants to get paid each time an employer downloads their resume.
Applicant Tree (www.applicanttree.com) will be enticing job searchers to
post their resume on the site by paying them half of the recruitment fee. The
fees, which will range between $15 and $100, are paid to job hunters for each
unique company that downloads their information. This in turn provides
companies with a great value for their recruiting dollar.
Applicant Tree President Jen Cooper feels her service offers the best
option for both job searchers and companies.
"When I was stationed in Iraq, I was amazed by the number of soldiers
spending their Internet time preparing for their discharge by searching the
job boards," Cooper said.
"To me, the chink in the system was that these guys could be bought and
sold by recruiters and not receive any compensation for the hours they spend
searching the boards. I wanted to correct that but at the same time offer a
better deal to businesses and recruiters. I wanted to make it mutually
beneficial right down the chain."
After completing their initial profile on Applicant Tree, applicants will
be screened to determine the value of their resume, after which their resume
will go live and can be viewed by employers. If the employer wishes to
contact the applicant for an interview, the contact information can then be
purchased and the applicant receives half of that amount. The more employers
who purchase the information, the more the applicants earn.
The potential for earning depends entirely on how often companies wish to
receive the applicant's contact information. Very desirable candidates could
have their information purchased multiple times in a month. If the resume
price is $20, and that information is purchased three times a week for a
month, the applicant earns $120 -- an amount that more than offsets the
expense of job hunting.
Determined not to forget her fellow troops that ignited this idea, Cooper
has decided to pass the entire fee, not just half, to active members of the
military, thus doubling their earnings.
"It's something I felt very strongly about doing," she said.
