HARTFORD, CT- A recent survey of 200 large employers in the U.S. identified the top two ways they recruited new employees. Number one was referrals; number two was job boards. So how do you find out which job boards employers are using and how do you make referrals work for you?
There are over 100,000 job boards now operating on the Web. Collectively, they post over two million job openings each day. That's a lot of opportunity, but it can also be a bit overwhelming. How do you figure out which job boards will work best for you? Most of us know the largest and most famous of those sites - Monster and CareerBuilder. And then there are tens of thousands of small, niche sites that specialize in a particular occupation, industry, geographic location or affinity.
You have to use a number of sites in order to maximize your opportunities. For this reason, I suggest you use an approach called The 5:1 Method. It looks like this: 2GP + 3N = 1GJ. The 2GP stands for two general purpose sites. They give you the broadest possible access to current job openings. The 3N stands for three niche or specialized sites. They give you the deepest possible access to job postings in the workplace. And finally, the 1GJ stands for one great job. If you pick the right five sites and visit them regularly, you will dramatically increase your chances of finding the one great job for you.
