Craigslist jobs

Anyone actually find one through Craigslist?

[Teufelhund]

Yep. After I got my CISSP cert about 6 years ago, my wife spammed my resume out to every job she could find. The one I took was an $85k security engineer gig in Denver, and it came from Craigslist. They flew me out from Dallas for the interview, and relocated us here two weeks later. I never would have even thought to look for jobs on Craigslist.

Yep that's how I landed my job.

Our recruiting dept. using craigslist sometimes. I have hired a few applicants that have come in from CL. There is a lot of scams on there but not all of them.

My client uses CL almost exclusively for job postings.

My shop manager was hired through a CL add. My next employee will be a tech, kinda, so wont come from CL. Getting a half trained shop monkey from one of the tech schools so that I can make sure any bad habits they have are MY bad habits, not something they picked up elsewhere. But I am very very happy with Shannon (shop manager) and have had good success hiring from CL. I hired someone else from CL at my last shop.

I've found a few PT jobs since retirement on there.

Of course I had to sort through a LOT of chaff with the applications... A LOT.

I'm not surprised. I buy and sell through Craigslist and for a decade have relied on CL almost exclusively to advertise my rental property. For a while I was using both newspaper classifieds and CL but quickly learned that legitimate replies came almost entirely from CL, about 10:1. Newspapers priced themselves out of the market when it cost $150-$300 to place a 30 day ad. CL is the major resource for renters and landlords.

Paid listing on craigslist is completely different from the free side. At$35 per post, craigslist's Job listings are as legit as they can be.

We hired, and I have looked for opportunity through CL before. It's good.

You mean, back in the day.

70% of my jobs i got through craigslist.

[SouthPaw]

I am constantly looking for jobs and use craigslist more than any other website. It's easier to navigate but all of my jobs have came from word of mouth or actually going in and dropping off a resumes by hand.

[Irving]

I bet you could find a job as a private pilot running all kinds of stuff on Craigslist. Not that I've looked.

[tmleadr03]

Backpages is better for that.










That is what I hear anyways....

[lllRorlll]

Ive posted jobs there.. Not a very good turnout- quality wise-
side note..
As i start getting the applications in my inbox, i almost always think that-- my listing said ... "Hey i have a job opening doing such and such.".
i never say where, or what company im with..
yet i get i slew of very personal info dumped in my lap.
Name- address- number- email-Work history
a quick facebook search would provide more info yet---
my point is: make sure the Job your applying for is legit... Could be identity theft- or worse

My wife has found jobs on there over the last several years. Just be cautions.

[Fromk]

I've gotten part time jobs in the past and it's how I found the real job here that got me out of California. Just celebrated my 3rd year anniversary.

[DEAGLER]

Hmm maybe you guys got lucky. I've only got one reply back.

The last posting I made for a job I had 150 replies in the first 24 hours. Out of those 3 made it to interviews. The time before that I had 250 replies in the first 24 hours.

[ChunkyMonkey]

So we know it's a matter of how to post or reply a post.

Yeah that's what I figured how extreme it can get.

[mackbamf]

I have hired two employees and a few sub-contractors from CL...

[DEAGLER]

Didn't we have a job thread?
