Using Employment Sites in Your Job Search


JobMetaSeek is the largest and most complete job search and career center on the Internet. If it is about jobs, or job hunting skills, you can find it here. We offer more than 100,000 links to all types of job and career resources for nearly every occupation, profession and industry. Take the Site Tour and see how this site can make any management, professional or executive job search more efficient and productive.

Employment Site Job Search Resources

Employment web sites have been the greatest advance in the field of recruiting since the creation of the resume. Since their first appearance on the World Wide Web, job boards and career portals have connected more organizations to more talent more efficiently than any other single medium in existence. Both employers and recruiters now consider these sites a critical component of their sourcing and recruiting strategy. Today, job boards and career portals serve virtually every profession, craft and trade, in every industry, in every country of the world.

Selecting Employment Sites

With so many career related sites to choose from you really must find a way to narrow your focus. Most people check out the big Employment Super Sites, like HotJobs and CareerBuilder. But, they are not the only, or even always the best, place to look. Smaller, more focused sites can often be much more useful to you.

Specialized Industry or Occupation Employment Sites

These specialized sites focus on a specific niche, usually an industry, profession, or a combination of both. These sites are highly targeted toward the professionals of the specific industry it serves. The specialization means the site is smaller, fewer jobs and fewer resumes and less competition for the posted jobs. Some employers will only use these sites because they are usually less expensive than the Super Sites and their job postings don't get lost in the postings from other companies.

Regional and Local Employment Sites

There are also local and regional job sites that can be effective in finding a job in a specific location. Again, many of these sites include listings from local employers who may not be inclined to post on the major jobs sites.

These sites focus on a specific geographic area, usually a city or province. The upside on these is that the jobs should be located where you want to work. The downside is that there may not be thousands of jobs listed. Local and regional employers don't always post on the major jobs sites like Monster or Hot Jobs. Instead, they will advertise on their local employment site to avoid being overwhelmed with applicants and, often, because they are not interested in paying relocation costs.

Visiting a Super Site such as HotJobs and using the location filter, for example, Toronto, Ontario will not result in the same results you get from using OntarioJobs and using Toronto as your search criteria. Even if you are conducting a national job search it is worth visiting the regional and local sites.

Tips for Your Job Search

Most online job seekers concentrate all their efforts on the large, well known commercial job search sites. The smaller specialized or regional sites are often underutilized because they are difficult to find using traditional search engines and they don't spend millions on advertising. Since these smaller sites are underutilized, the sophisticated manager, professional or executive job seeker will take full advantage of these specialized resources.

Use the Job Search Site Directory(s) to locate all of the sites that could be useful in your job search. Concentrate your efforts on locating the sites specific to your industry, occupation and target location. Don't focus on the large job sites. The Job Meta Search Engine includes most of the large commercial job sites so you don't need to visit these sites to look for jobs. Investigate the jobs and resources available on the specialized sites for immediate use or for future reference and use the Meta Search Engine to check for jobs on the large sites.

The Employment Site Directories

The Job Search Site Directory is organized by Industry, Occupation and Profession and includes links to more than 4,000 Sites. The Canada General, Canada Government and Canada Industry Categories contain 300 links devoted exclusively to Canadian Sites. The Industry and Occupation categories are not country specific and include links to Canadian and United States Job Sites. Province specific Sites are located in the Province Job Search Directory. City specific Sites are found in the City Job Search Directory. Career and Job Search web sites offering XML or RSS Feeds are found in the XML/RSS Job Search Directory.
