Hi,

I am trying to research specific characteristics of online job boards...

Specifically, I am looking at the following metrics for job sites you
are able to find:
==>Job Postings/month
==>Unique visitors/registered users/month
==>Price per Job post (price card if it is volume dependent)
==># of recruiters posting at the job site
==>Revenue profile of the site
==>Industry/segment focus if any



====================

I know the following and maybe helpful for you as well...
==>The total online jobs posting per month could be 3.6-3.8M
postings/month (See http://www.indeed.com/jobsbystate.jsp)
==>I also think that the Top 5 sites contribute about 1.2M postings per month 
(Craigslist (500-600k/month), Monster.com (200-250k/month), Career Builder 
(250-300k/month), Yahoo Hot Jobs (90k-125k/month). This is based on
(http://sfbay.craigslist.org/about/pr/factsheet.html &
(http://www.clickz.com/showPage.html?page=3443851)
==>http://nicheboards.com/
==>Theladders.com 

==>I also have some general information around the top sites-
http://weblogs.hitwise.com/leeann-prescott/2006/04/simply_hired_indeed_and_jobste_1.html
and http://www.clickz.com/showPage.html?page=1038491

==>I also know that the overall recruitement market is about $1.3BN
with about $900m from job postings (The rest is from resume DBs,
branded advertising). I think about 85% (Approx $760m) of that
revenues goes to 4 sources (Monster, Hotjobs, Career builder and Non
career builder affiliated newspaper sites)

Request for Question Clarification by czh-ga on 08 Aug 2006 21:09 PDT

Hello nikrao-ga,

I'm not clear on what information you're looking for. You've told us
what you already know about job boards but your question stating
"Specifically, I am looking at the following metrics for job sites you
are able to find:" doesn't tell me enough. There are hundreds, if no
thousands, of job sites/boards. Which ones are you interested in? What
criteria are you using for your selection? How many would you need?

It would definitely help if you could tell us more about the context
of your question. Job boards are a huge segment on the Web. Please
help us with deliniating exactly what you're looking for.

Thanks.

Hi sorry for not being clear...

I am specifically looking for examples of 10-20 sites in the US that
have a range of job postings between 5000-30000/postings per month.

I would prefer if these sites are paid (i.e. you have to pay for a
posting) instead of freee. For those sites, I am looking for the
characteristics described earlier i.e.
==>Job Postings/month
==>Unique visitors/registered users/month
==>Price per Job post (price card if it is volume dependent)
==># of recruiters posting at the job site
==>Revenue profile of the site
==>Industry/segment focus if any
