Finding all the right published openings Pt. 8

Understanding the aggregators

Aggregators are sites that go out and “spider” other sites… and subsequently list all openings in one place. They by no means represent the entire public market, but these sites make it much more convenient for people to find what they want and respond accordingly.

The major aggregators include: indeed.com, simplyhired.com, advertisedjobmarket.com, and ladders.com. Some sites are free and others charge a fee to subscribe to their service. Currently they claim to aggregate openings from thousands of sources, but none come close to representing the entire public market.

Finding all the right published openings Pt . 6

How the public job market works

The problem with all the job boards is simple. Once you get past the 200 major boards, most will have only a few listings suitable for you. Even on the largest boards, a person can waste an enormous amount of time, only to find out that there are many duplicate listings, and some appear over and over again for months. By the way, whenever you respond to any type of opening, if you respond by email, also send a response by first-class mail.
