Update::: 1 of 3 Job Search
We recently did a post on Job search engines. Careerjet is one we missed.
When I searched for the job of an editor in Charlottesville, VA (you never know…), it had a link to a good local employer. It also offered me free job alerts and resume/CV/cover letter postings, as long as I registered with them; but they only asked for name, rank, and email address.
Careerjet maps the huge selection of job offerings available on the Internet in one extensive database by referencing job pages originating from company web sites, recruitment agency web sites and large specialist recruitment sites. You can query this database an save yourself the trouble of going to each site individually. The job offerings themselves are not hosted by Careerjet and users are always redirected to the original job listing.
The technology
Careerjet uses smart agents running on a cluster of networked computers to scan the web and identify job listings on the internet such as company web sites which may only list one or two jobs or larger specialist recruitment sites featuring hundreds of jobs. Those listings are then scanned regularly and the jobs found are added to the database.
