Free Job Posting and Free Resume Search boards

[Howie Appel]

Ok guys, I don't know how many will read this post, but lets do our comrades in arms a big service. Please, if you know of places where we can go to find free resumes please enter them as part of this discussion. We all want to look good to our supervisors and our managers. What does that mean? Well, I was hired due to my creativity and my being able to find candidates by networking and being totally economical....in other words, save the company money by finding free boards. Can anyone help? Thanks. Howie

Here is a fairly large list of 100% free resume banks. There are well over 200 in this list and covers pretty much every vertical market imaginable. Hope this helps.

For all those interested I have the ability to offer a substantial discount to Infogist. This tool is a resume mining tool that allows you to search every free board available but also the premium boards that you have access to. You can search everything simultaneously which saves an incredible amount of time when it comes to sourcing candidates. Feel free to call me directly if you’re interested.

Eric's response was fantastic and complete. Beyond that I am a big believer in Social Networking.. Here are some resources...

[Howie Appel]

Thanks guys for those sites. I'm working them.

[Jason Gorham]

You can post free jobs on our site. www.careermetasearch.com

[Howie Appel]

Saw the site. Do you have resumes I can search for free also? How many of your viewers are civil engineers? Thanks for answering...in advance. Howie

[Jason Gorham]

Sorry no the resume search isn't free but we are going to be integrating with infogist and the price will be very reasonable.

[Andrew Davis]

www.gettechnicalwritingjobs.com is free to post, but it's not a resume bank of Technical Writers. For Medical Writers, some local chapters of the American Medical Writers Association (www.amwa.org) let you post listings to their listservers, but the national organization charges.

[Marcus Ronaldi]

I set up a site that has free job postings that mostly focus on tech
http://www.freetechjobpost.com/

[Ray van den Bel]

Hello Howie,

Please be informed that we have a number of Job Posting solutions at the Open Networkers site. If you use them, the vacancies arte being reposted on popular sites like LinkedIn and Myspace but withour the usual costs.

Also Jobster is very much in the new, I want to share a review with you which I just wrote:


It was about time I made a review of Jobster.com, the new emerging Portal for Jobseekers and Recruiters. I seemed too good to be real: free adding of vacancies for recruiters and unlimited access to potential candidates. On top of it all, they offer a Networking solution integrated with it all.

So I had a close look at it and had some pleasant and promising surprises and some that where less promising.

Overall impression:
It is centralized again! You need to go to the Jobster site but are not able to use the functionalities from a decentralized blog or portal. Sure it has a 'view my profile' button which you can place elsewhere but no cross-portal communication and jobpostings like we have on the Open Networkers.
The strategy is thus once again focussed on getting as much as many people in, making the system more attractive by numbers. That isn't a bad strategy, just not too flexible.

But what do you get once you are there? Well you can add your profile and your resume. The latter always makes me a bit suspicious because there is a lively trade going on in resumes, very shady indeed. So if you can just make a good profile without adding a CV document that is always better and safer in my opinion. But having said that, I have no indication that Jobster is doing anything unpleasant with our CV's.

After I added my profile I checked the search tool which is limited, not up to the standards of LinkedIn. Basically it works with tags, once you have tagged your profile it searches based upon the tags. But it is free and surely they will be able to improve that functionality in the future and move to an environment in which all the content in a profile is indexed instead of just the tags.

The networking part however is absolutely nonsense. It only shows you the people who are directly connected to you. I use Plaxo for that, that at least has a export functionality. Jobster doesn't have that, it wants to get people in, not out...
So the network part is only a Jobster marketing front which will not additional functionality to your network at all.

OK but how is the Jobposting? Frankly, that isn't bad although they promise more than they can offer. It seems very valid, not having to pay anything for vacancy postings but I tried it out and in normal life the adding a 'free' vacancy will not get you noticed. The 'paid' vacancies are supposed the noticed a lot better. I have no experience in that area, but here is how that system works:
Paying for an ad, will make it visible on the matching candidate's page. You just pay for every candidate who clicks on the ad (it charges 2$ for each 'candidate' click).
But a 'click' isn't a good candidate yet, especially if the same matching system (using limited tags) is applied. On the Jobster site they explain that out of 10 possible 'clicks' there are about 2 good (qualified) candidates. That isn't true, I can tell you that, especially with this matching system. It is more like 1 in a hundred!

Furthermore the benchmarkdata we have of multiple Jobboards show that you can be lucky if the vacancy itself will be viewed 50-100 times. The quality of the qualified clicks and after that, the candidate reactions are thus very important.
One thing they are right about, the extravagant prices for the traditional Jobboards are very much over the top. From that perspective Jobster is a great leap ahead although you shouldn't expect too much from your job-postings, it will probably just add you work and the quality of candidates is doubtful although it will cost you 2$ for each click.


Summary
It sounds very promising but it isn't as cheap as it looks. The free service...well don't look for that, waste of time. It also has nothing to do with real networking. The paid jobposting service isn't really as cheap as it looks. It is far better than what we see present in the market like Monster and all the other board with their ridiculous prices, but the qualified results per click isn't really getting you what you expect.

So for now the Open networking is sticking to the current Jobboards on which you can add your vacancy for the lowest possible price (29$)and which are automatically republished on popular sites like Simply Hired and Edgeio.

Those sites probably will not ring a bell with you either but if I tell you that the content (vacancies) of these boards are being used (republished) within LinkedIn, Myspace and dozens of other popular sites you can see that you will get much more for your contribution. Search-ability on LinkedIn, Simply Hired, Edgeio and Myspace alone will give your vacancy a reach of hundreds of millions of candidates. Better yet, people there Want to be there, because there is a real networking functionality on Myspace and LinkedIn. That is not the case with Jobster. You only go there if you really have to...

Furthermore, we like the freedom and decentralization tools. The widgets can be added anywhere, on your own company website, portal or blog ensuring also localized visibility.

Wow- Good looking Out! This is one less network group to concern myself with.
Thanks for the research.

[Howie Appel]

Eric, YOU are the MAN. It's folks like you who will make this group grow and be a popular place to drop by. Thanks for the list. Howie
