Getting the Most Out of Job Boards
By: Christine Hirsch

There are countless ways to use Internet job boards. Job boards can help recruiters find clients and candidates, perform industry research, even mine competitive intelligence. A world of information about companies and individuals is now available online. However, job boards are not, in and of themselves, a one-stop solution for filling all positions. When sourcing hard-to-fill or niche positions, job boards are often just the tip of the iceberg.

Despite obvious incursions to corporate privacy, Internet job boards have become the new standard for sourcing candidates. Job postings can reveal information about products in development, growth strategies, performance expectations, organizational structure, titles, salaries and general company health. Moreover, information can be rapidly mined, making it at once a useful resource and serious liability. Recruiters often play on both sides of the equation, simultaneously collecting and protecting corporate intelligence.

Internet resources came in second in the survey results. Search Firms ranked third.
