I am trying to hire three techs, one for Atlanta Ga. area (Woodstock, Ga.) and two for Dothan, AL.

Anyone interested?
Must have experience supporting networked Microsoft based pc's in a corporate environment. Must have Windows OS experience, Desktop and server support, basic networking knowledge (WAN and LAN), application support experience, good work ethic, documentation skills, attention to detail, etc... We've been looking for a while now and haven't gotten the quality of candidates we are looking for.

Also, while I'm at it, could anyone looking a this tell me what job boards you look at when job hunting? I have a Dice subscrption and I'm not sure that is the best one for hiring techs. I just don't get the volume of responses I expect. Opinions?
Thanks

Does Tech republic have a presence in India? Maybe there are folks still in the IT field over there, suppose any are qualified?

I have to say the quality of applicants on DICE tends to be higher than some of the other sites such as Monster.

I've been seeing CareerBuilder popping up more lately. My struggle is that these things aren't cheap, Dice was my choice partially due to attractive pricing. Monster is way out there price wise and they are pretty restrictive compared to Dice.

There are three positions:

1. Service Desk Tech in Dothan, AL. $12 - $18/hr. DOE
2. On Site Tech in client Data Center, Dothan, AL. 30 - 42k DOE
3. On Site tech in Woodstock, Ga. office, more of a pc tech spot w/ some network stuff,, basically an office and remote site support position $14 - $20/hr.

All have typical benefits.

I work in nearby Albany, GA and can tell you we have the same problem getting quality workers. We've had to pay over $20/hr to get good Service Desk people to come here. We've tried paying what you're offering and we got pretty much what I suspect you are getting. You're either going to have to raise the rate or live with what you can get for your price.

Have you looked at ComputerJobs.com and ComputerWork.com? I think the two sites are partnering or even more closely related. Sorry, I don't know how they are for rates.

Pay 18-20% of the salary to a recruiting firm. My company specializes in Southern California, so a job in Georgia would be hard for us to fill.

Also realize that skilled people are already working or have changed careers. Good people are getting harder to find.

DICE is good for tech recruiting. You might also try Hotjobs.com (yahoo-based).

Send your req's to carerr centers at the colleges within commuting range. The starting range for graduates is $30-$32K, so you're more likely to get undergraduates at the rates you are charging. Many students get on-the-job training in labs at school, so don't overlook them.

Good luck,

Mindy
