Why use a tiny URL?

URLs are nowadays crucial for Recruitment.

The URL is the place where you offer your Apply NOW button, where you tell your audience how good and successful you already are, and will become better if YOU join us…

All the activities online are to create the best traffic to your URL, your site, your landing page.

So why take the chance people don’t get the message?

Often the message you like to leave in Forums or Blog comments or other types of Social networking sites is too long….
Long URL often break in e-mails and than this happens:

I know the most wonderful place to work, if your want to check it out http://www.mysite.com/who-we-are/something-to-do/
your-next-step/index.php?1234&ID=6789

You can create shorter URLs that do not break in e-mails and are short enough to use in web 2.0 platforms via these tools:

http://shorturl.com since 1999
http://tinyurl.com
http://kurl.nl
http://zi.ma
http://cli.gs
http://tiny.cc
http://bit.ly
http://tubeurl.com
http://fff.to
http://courl.net

Even some of these tools, do come with free statistics of the usage of the URL you created… Why bother? This way you can use different short URLs in different comments and check what comment brought you the most.
