Job Search Engines

Online recruiting is becoming very popular these days. There are more and more job search engines on internet and companies are spending tons of money trying to find the best employees in web. For an example, Lockheed Martin spent $1.8 million on the job sites in 2001. Forest Research also reports that in 2003 companies will spend 779 million on internet recruiting.

Nowadays, it seems that every job seeker knows www.monster.com, it's the biggest job site and accounts for 14.3% of all internet hires in 2002 (according to careerxroads.com). However, when it comes to online job search, you may also want to try some reginal job banks and industry job banks. They may give you better results than monster.com since you have targeted employers and recruiters there.

So my recommendation is to use several generic job search engines and then devote more of your time to specialty job boards. Or else, you can use someresume distribution service to increase your resume exposure and save your time.

The following are some most visited generic job site, you can also find more specialty site from Industry Job Sites and Regional Job Sites.
