Here’s another Web site you can add to the arsenal of tools you use to find job candidates:

VisualCV is a Web site that lets job seekers create digital versions of their resumes to post online.

Most of the information posted is the same as what you’d see in a traditional resume, except with pictures. But the main difference: Candidates can include links to blogs, other personal Web pages and work samples. For some jobs, especially creative ones, that’s important to have.

Employers can also set up their own profiles to attract candidates, with general information on the company as well as specific job listings.

For companies, there’s a free option and one that charges for each employee hired through the site. The paid version contains added search features, an applicant tracking tool and no limit on the number of positions listed.
