It's no surprise to learn, all job boards and career classifieds - are not created equal. From the standpoint of the employer, who's looking to find top notch talent among their prospective new hires, a job board must proactively seek to register active and passive candidates who are the best of the best. When you're a job seeker, or considering the possibilities for your next planned career move, it's important to take a serious look at exactly what a job board or career network, can do for YOU.

If you're considering registering as a job seeker with a recruiting agency, job board, or even submitting your resume to an employer, directly, here's some important information you must consider.

1. Job boards should offer job seeker services to enhance and expedite the employment placement process.


2. For the job seeker, who must make an immediate change, the career board should offer a low cost, premium "representation" service, to ensure the active seeker is being consistently presented for positions that match the candidate's target job.


3. Is your resume posted to a job board that contracts more than 5000 staffing specialists, who work on creating your perfect employment match? If not, it's time to greatly increase your odds of quality job offers, by joining a network that does.


4. Does your job network offer employment opportunities with 100K and up salaries, as well as entry level positions, across all industries? Are they bringing on new employment opportunities daily? When you work with a progressive job network, you can expect to receive a great deal of interaction through email and telephone, from the referrals of employer partners. Word of mouth, and personal recommendations go a long way in developing successful business relationships.


5. A quality job board offers job seekers career management services, which effectively keep the candidate on track to continue moving up the ladder; every two to three years.

As you can see, not all job boards are created equal. Employers looking to hire a new employee, or a job seeker looking for their next employer, must be selective, and choose a performing job network, that will make creating the employer - candidate match - seamless.
