Where the Job Postings Are

Sunday, July 11, 2010

Have you noticed fewer job postings when you're searching the job boards? Barron's reported that Monster's job postings were down 18% in April and 21% in May. Overall, The Conference Board reported that online job postings dropped 13% in May. Some of it is, of course, due to the difficult economy and less hiring in a soft job market.

That's only part of what's happening. There is also a trend towards actively recruiting candidates on professional networking sites like LinkedIn. Which is why it's important to make sure employers can find you when you're job searching.
