9.The cool reports look fancy in the Directors meeting

8. The online system gives you more space on your desk for knickknacks

7. It is so easy, anyone could use it

6. Your email box will be filled with more than resumes

5. It costs less than my shrink

4. 99.995% more reliable than your cable guy

3. A hosted career site will free up your lobby since applicants can apply online 24/7

2. Automatic emails save you from the 10oth “when are you going to hire me” phone call
