Job Seekers and employers are increasingly discovering the supreme value of niche job boards over the big boards such as Monster and Career Builder. Roger Herman and Joyce Goia (principals of the Herman Group an HR management consulting company and authors of a dozen books on workforce change and development) write in their newsletter, "The Herman Trend Report":
"Research
indicates that niche sites that specialize by career field or industry and
those that specialize by geographic focus are favored by 78% of corporate
employment specialists. Only 17% prefer general sites such as Indeed.com,
Monster.com, and CareerBuilder.com. On the job seeker side of the picture, more
candidates get jobs through the niche sites than through comprehensive job
boards. Candidates prefer to use niche sites catering to their region or work
discipline to avoid wasting time exploring opportunities that don't fit who
they are or what they are looking for."
Mark and Richard Bolles (authors of the famous career book, What Color is Your Parachute?) write in the 5th edition of their book entitled, Job Hunting Online:
"Monster has 40 times as many resumes on their site as job listings. As a result of online job seeking employers often get hundreds even thousands of resumes for a single opening creating what employers now refer to as 'resume spam." Respondents reported that for every 100 job openings fewer than 1 were the result of Monster. Percentages were even lower for CareerBuilder and Yahoo HotJobs which were reported to yield 2-4 hires out of every thousand postings. So employers are turning away from the super sites. Weddles (the authority on employment trends in U.S.) surveyed 3,900 recruiters and HR personnel - 84% said they preferred to use the niche boards rather than the super sites.
We highly recommend that you consider the hottest new niche board focused on health care: www.hothcjobs.com
These large job sites like Monster are not useful for most job hunters as hundreds of other people apply. Niche sites (geographically) for pharmacists is a better way to get in contact with the appropriate people more efficiently.
