Hiring can be exhausting, especially if you’re looking for someone with a specialized set of skills.
“In small business, you never have enough time to do everything that you need to do,” says Dillon Miskiewicz, Chief Operating Officer of Cafe Altura, an organic coffee company in Ventura, California.

“We needed a Director of Coffee; someone who could cup coffee, roast coffee, make buying decisions, make roasting decisions, and… [rival] the experience and skillsets that we already had,” remembers Dillon. “It definitely felt like we were looking for a needle in a haystack.”
There are plenty of recruiting websites where you can post jobs online, but most of them don’t offer much in the way of quality control – you’ll likely be inundated with loads of candidates who aren’t a great fit.
“We put out postings on local job platforms, and we would look through lots of applications for people who were not qualified,” says Dillon. “It was just very time-consuming.”
But then Cafe Altura tried using ZipRecruiter, and Dillon’s days of sifting through mountains of resumes were over.

ZipRecruiter automates the tedious parts of recruiting, like posting to job boards, sorting through resumes, and even conducting online interviews.
Basically, it narrows down the pool of contenders to the cream of the crop.
“We were very impressed with how quickly we had quality candidates apply through ZipRecruiter,” says Dillon.
Your time is valuable, so the less of it you have to spend on hiring the better.
