How Staffing Agencies Can Create a Business Listing in Google Places in 9 Steps
After six months without work in 2005, I resorted to the big yellow book. I literally found a YellowPages by Yellowbook, turned to the staffing agency section, started at the letter A and called each listing, asked for their website and an email address where I could send my resume. It wasn’t until I reached the F’s before I landed my first temporary assignment as a new resident in the Triangle with Five Star Staffing.
I remember printing instructions which was made for an added expense, having to make sure to keep a supply of printer ink and paper.
Google makes products available at no cost to businesses owners. These products, such as Google Places business listings are especially helpful to cost-saving small businesses.
Staffing agencies can provide job seekers with more information as they turn to Google to find jobs. Staffing agencies’ Google Places page should contain their web address, hours of operation, driving directions and any other helpful information you think job seekers should know about your company.
A Google Places listing can also list client reviews and pictures of the office building so that it is recognizable upon arrival. This information is made available on smartphone devices using the browser app, Google Maps app and Places app.
Staffing agencies, do job seekers a favor and create a business listing on Google Places – especially if you are recruiting Internet savvy, social media users.
