Hello; 

Can you provide me with online recruiting market share data among the
big (let say three biggest) job boards? The market share should be in
terms of paid vacancies, related to the same period, and should not be
very old (one year is fine).

It is fine to restrict yourself either to Europe, USA, China, or India.

Klaus.

Hi klaus777,

I have found the answer you need referring to the United States, for
August 2006, from Corzen.

                        Change
Careerbuilder 	39.6% 	1.4%
Monster 	36.2% 	-0.5%
Yahoo/Hotjobs 	24.1% 	-0.9%

As of today, Careerbuilder is also first in revenue in addition to job postings.

"CareerBuilder.com, the nation's largest online job site with more
than 1.5 million jobs and over 23 million unique visitors, is at the
center of a major turn in the history of online recruitment. After
leading the industry in job postings and traffic for more than two
years, CareerBuilder.com has passed its largest competitor in U.S.
revenue. This means CareerBuilder.com now commands the leadership
position in all major categories of online recruitment in the U.S.,
delivering on its promise to take top ranking domestically before full
expansion overseas... For 40 consecutive months, CareerBuilder.com has
posted the most jobs in the industry, according to Corzen. The company
has experienced a 12-point gain in market share over the last two
years and is certain to increase its share in 2006."

"CareerBuilder.com maintained its job listing market share lead in
2005 as well.  According to Corzen, CareerBuilder.com?s average
monthly postings made up 43 percent of the market share, a slight
increase from 42 percent the year before, making them the industry
leader."

For comparison, here is some more data on this year and some from previous years.

Here are the differences in market share between 2006 and 2003:

2003 Results in Market Share from Corzen:

"Based on total job posting activity in nearly 100 US markets,
Monster, CareerBuilder and
newspapers not affiliated with CareerBuilder each have between 25

had a 29.8 percent
