SnagAJob.com has eked out a corner of the job and resume service market with its hourly employment listings. Ranked as the largest hourly job website in the United States, employers and job seekers alike have found a multitude of opportunities available to them through this website. It has been online for over 10 years and boasts 7-Eleven as one of their largest and most major of clients. The content of the site maintains a slightly comical tone, a characteristic uncommon to job service sites. The occasional joke or humorous phrase does serve in taking off some of the tension to job searching.
The candidate base that they attract is not solely gas station cashiers or fast food cooks (though they fulfill a critical role in society of purveying gas, food and beverages). Professionals from all industries search this website for all sorts of positions, whether they are Registered Nurses, U.S. Army soldiers or sales associates. They offer an unbeatable monthly price for unlimited job postings at a single location. The site just does one thing: hourly jobs. They put it best when they say, “Don’t waste your time and money talking to the wrong audience.” If you are looking to post salaried positions, this isn’t the place for you.
The online job board makes searching and applying for both part-time and full-time positions simple; but first, you need to register on the site. Most listings require that you apply for the position on the corporate website rather than this site, so you should be prepared to fill out a different application on each job you apply to.
They offer a limited amount of support that takes the form of FAQs, email support and telephone support. The site also provides a number of job resources, or articles, on a variety of employer- and job seeker-related topics. The folks at SnagAJob.com, or “Snaggers,” have also been gracious enough to create job advice videos for users. The videos are by no means professionally recorded, but the videos oftentimes give a humorous perspective on such topics as the “Dos and Don’ts of Interviewing.”
The site is fairly basic both in design and layout. The company relies on the culture and reputation they have created in hourly employment to define the evolution of the site. Jobs are easy to post and search through and spam listings are few in number.
They have many good qualities, but don’t offer any additional features found on most of the top job sites. Support is not a strong suit, but the advice and tips available are a handy resource. SnagAJob.com offers basic services for listing hourly jobs and maintains their position in the market quite well.
