Telework Recruiting reflects the changing at-home work market

Another good source for telework jobs

Branch Office Best Practices Newsletter By Toni Kistner, Network World, 03/15/05

Telework job sites are little windows to the industry. Traditionally, since at-home jobs were so scarce but demand so high, these sites bulked up by collecting long-expired leads, listing the names of companies that hired two teleworkers 10 years ago and posting entrepreneurial opportunities growing truffles in the basement.

Now that real at-home jobs are becoming available in a variety of industries, sites such as Telework Recruiting, are fattening up in kind. How do you know which ones are legit? You don’t.

How do I know? I get on the phone with the folks behind them to see what they’re all about — as I’ve done in the past with Whydowork.com and Staffcentrix’s Rat Race Rebellion newsletter (see editorial links below).

Pam La Gioia launched Telework Recruiting.com 12 years ago after getting burned herself by a telework jobs site. After paying $35 for six months’ access, La Gioia says she got a disorganized list of companies, many of which didn’t offer telework anymore.

La Gioia lets job seekers post their resumes on her site for free, lets companies post their jobs for free and charges a one-time $39.99 fee for access to job listings. Currently there are 1,418 companies that regularly hire teleworkers posted on the site, and many hundreds of individual job listings, posted by date. Telework Recruiting also offers employers recruitment services and workers resume services.

When I asked La Gioia how people know her job site is legit, she echoed me: “They can’t. It aggravates me that I can’t prove it. This is my bread and butter.” She does have plenty of e-mails from satisfied members — she sent me a few -- and offers a two-day money-back guarantee. One good sign: No big, blazing banner ads proclaiming I can make $5,000 a day stuffing envelopes. There are a few small Google ads making questionable claims, but La Gioia buries them.
