Good free resource for finding jobseekers

    I have a part-time position to fill and I'm looking for a good resource for finding jobseekers.
    I don't want to pay to view cv's, I want a free service. I have registered with fas and am able to view cv's on their website but there are suprisingly few. I thought there would have been loads on there.
    I had more luck on gumtree.ie, but still not fantastic.

    Surely there are thousands out there looking for work.

    Please don't contact me looking for work. I'm only interested in the cv resource.
    Thanks in advance.

    I can't really be of much help here but I make two observations;

    1. If you don't want contact from people looking for work, remove the type of job. It's only hanging a carrot in front of people!

    2. I suppose the problem with any online CV resourse is that the type of employment your offering is not always assocaited with online recruitment. Therefore your pool of possible employees is limited.

    Why not just advertise the job?

    Thanks for the advice. I've removed the job type.
    I tried advertising a job before on Fas.ie.
    I got hundreds of emails and cv's from unqualified people chancing their arm. People who I'm guessing apply for every job that get posted.
    Too much work to sort the wheat from the chaff.

    Considering the job, would you consider taking to FAS directly to see if there are anyone on their last year of an apprenticeship that you could take on?

    If we all expected something for nothing none of us would be making any money!

    You get what you pay for...

    Companies like Jobs.ie will screen all applications to make sure you only get relevant CVs.

    What kind of money do they charge for this service. Might be of help to the OP.

    They don't have a set price... it depends on how big your company is and how many people you want to hire.
