Free Job Advertising Boards Benefit Employer Over Traditional Pay Per Click Job Sites
Ever since the business of job posting boards was conceptualised, the dominant revenue model for this online business has been the pay per click model. Employers who used these job search engines sometimes got what they wanted, sometimes not. Lately, the concept of free job advertising, where the job board would get paid only if the advert was responded to, has gained favour among employers.
The problem in pay per click models is that employers can end up paying for hits and not for quality. The current job market favours employers and as a result, a desperate job seeker can send out tens of resumes daily, which end up in job boards. When a job posting or a job search engine combines the results, the duplicates can number more than half. This resume spam is most prevalent in job vacancies advertising a common skill set and the volume of responses from common skill sets swamp the employer or recruiter who has to sift through the applications. A pay per click model will obviously not work in this situation.

The Path to Employment: Searching for Medical Jobs Online
The internet has radically evolved how we search for medical jobs. Instead of relying on one primary resource (a classified listing of hospital jobs or assistant jobs), we now have a huge amount of career information to work from. There are numerous web 2.0 tools for job searching but it’s not always clear how to make the most of them. One thing is certain; it’s not in your best interest to limit your search to a single website. No matter how good the site may be, it won’t provide you with all the information needed to make a job change.
A common path has emerged; tread often by people looking for work online. It involves three different approaches to an online job search: doing some broad research, checking health care job search engines and targeting people and companies on social networking sites. This broad to narrow method makes the best use of all the available online job resources.
