Do Job Boards Work?

Over at Punk Rock HR, an interesting discussion about generalist job boards.

Laurie Ruettimann asked if job boards like Monster and Careerbuilder “worked” for her readers.

“If all you have is a hammer every problem looks like a nail. Personally, having been in the recruiting space for 20 years, my take is that incoming recruiters today are too reliant on the hammer of a job board. Sometimes to find the right talent, you have to use a screwdriver, ratchet or, heaven help us, a vise grip!” – “Christopher”

Kelly O: “I’ve almost given up on major job boards…those boards are so crowded with advertisements for online universities, Army recruiters, and pay to work at home schemes, it’s maddening and mind-numbing to sort through it all.”

“Elise”:
