Here’s a simple tool you can add to your company’s Web site to get more qualified people looking at your job openings:

A “Send this job to a friend” button.

All the major job boards let users easily e-mail an ad to someone else. It’s a good way for people to pass along the info to a qualified friend or colleague.

Companies can gain a lot by using the same method when they list open jobs on their corporate Web sites. The button should be in a place where it’s easy to find, such as next to the “Apply” button.

Of course there’s no guarantee it’ll get to any good candidates, but you’re likely to get more pass-alongs if you make it easy.
