Request for Question Clarification by czh-ga on 30 Nov 2003 17:53 PST

Hello slikk-ga,,

This is a much tougher question to answer than you would expect. It is
not possible to get the information you?re looking for from these job
boards without registering as an employer. Even then you must
frequently talk to a sales representative to get full information
about the specific advertising rates. One of the complicating factors
is that each of these job boards offers a variety of pricing packages
so it?s difficult to get specifically comparable information. The
boards you?ve listed are going through a lot of changes right now and
are jockeying for position. This means that they tend to hold
competitive information close to the vest.

I found an old survey from June 2001 that shows some comparable
advertising rates for Monster, HotJobs and HeadHunter (before it was
bought by CareerBuilder).

You might want to repost this question as five separate questions
because I don?t think any researcher will be able to answer all of
them. I?ve included comments on how difficult I think it will be to
get the information you?re looking for.

1) Price per job posting for each
***** This information is readily available.

2) Prices for yearly subscriptions and what it entails for each.
***** Pricing packages vary. Many variables contribute to pricing
differences. You have to sign in as an employer to proceed to this
stage.

3) Price for advertising on their sites for each
***** There are many options for advertising at any of these job
boards. You have to contact the each to get specific information about
the options you?re considering. Here is the list of possibilities from
CareerBuilder.
Sponsorship Opportunities: 
 -- Banners
 -- Email Sponsorships
 -- Text Links
 -- Resource Center Sponsorships
 -- Customized Campaigns

4) Job Posting premiums which will highlight my job etc for each.
***** I think this will be one of the options in specifying whatever
package you buy as discussed in question 2 above.

5) Candidate pricing to highlight my resume for each.
***** It is not readily apparent whether this option is available for
these job boards.

I?d love to help you with this search but I think you need to modify
your question to make it more answerable. I look forward to your
clarification.
