Recruiting with Job Boards.

One of the most popular ways that employers and hopeful job candidates have been able to use the internet in their search is through the use of Job Boards. For those that don’t know, Job Boards are a place that employers can go to post open positions at their companies and where candidates can go to apply for these positions. Sites like Monster.com and Careerbuilder have paved the way for other companies in the industry. Monster.com and Careerbuilder do a good job in aggregating mass quantities of jobs so that a hopeful candidate can send out one resume to hundreds of places; however, this type of application process seems to be falling out of style with employers. New trends show that companies prefer tools that can offer them a more targeted candidate pool as opposed to the mass audiences sites like Careerbuilder provide.

Using job boards through social media is one of the ways that companies have found a more targeted audience for their open positions. This excellent example of a Facebook Recruiting App gives companies the ability to create and maintain a job board on their own Facebook page. This is a great tool for businesses because it insures the only people who find their open positions are the ones who have already shown an interest in the company itself; candidates that either know the business or the industry well.

Niche Job Boards like this are one of the best new ways for companies to advertise their positions to targeted audiences that have already shown an interest in the company or position, saving companies precious time and money.
