With the unemployment rate still above 9 percent, a lot of people are hitting the job boards. One set of companies that are growing under these conditions, at least in terms of Website traffic, are the job search engines. But the one that seems to be growing the fastest is Indeed. In July, Monster’s job search engine was up 33 percent in U.S. pageviews, CareerBuilders’ was up 56 percent, and Indeed’s was up 90 percent (comScore).
Not only is Indeed the fastest growing job search engine it is also now the largest in terms of pageviews. In July, it passed CareerBuilder, with 171 million pageviews in the U.S. versus 159 million for CareerBuilder. Yahoo’s HotJobs had 96 million (which Yahoo is reportedly abandoning), Monster had 73 million, and SimplyHired trailed far behind with 26 million.
In terms of unique visitors, CareerBuilder is still larger with 10.1 million in July versus 8.7 million for Indeed, which is No. 2. But Indeed is growing faster in that metric as well (up 76 percent versus 19 percent for CareerBuilder).
All of these numbers are for the core job search at each site, and do not include other parts of their sites such as resumes, advice, or career tools.
Indeed is also the fastest job site among all mentioned above.
What do you get when the words depression, recession + bills + pressure looms around? You get people desperate to do anything for money. You get people submitting resumes and modifying each to fit every kind of category there is. People that do this think they’re special, but no, everyone’s doing the same gawd damn thing. Hiring managers are over their heads. Fastest just means more clutter.
I wish there was a stimulus for all citizens, one specialized to discover what their true talents are. Beers suppled by Obama if friends have a heart to heart and be truthful about what they’re truely gfted at, and then harnessing that power to help the world. How this would would then evolve and break away from this BS repeated history.
People here on TC are smart though. So perhaps I’m preaching to the wrong crowd.
How this would : How this world, + lots of sp, sorry.
Fastest, meaning the pages on Indeed load faster than any of the others mentioned above, providing a better job search experience. Sorry for the confusion.
I think I am the first to comment. cool. congrats to you guys.
People like vertical search engines. This proves it.
I mean hey… it worked for Google.
Indeed.
they must have great marketing because that domain name does not sound like a job search site. which leads me to say i have never heard of them before. i have used careerbuilder before.
I have used Indeed many times – it is a wonderful site and pulls up just about every available job.
Congrats. Indeed has a great and easy to use landing page. Love the way they update “My recent searches” with new jobs. Go Connecticut (home to Kayak.com as well).
Ps – sending their homepage to my designers as a great example of simple.
I’d be interested to see how http://www.SnagaJob.com fits in, since they target the hourly market. They’re pretty big too.
Does Indeed have to pay anything to these other job sites to display their job listings?
Use it everyday!
I also just tried to find a job for me and guess what, it worked. It worked amazingly well and in a fast and simple way. Great idea to integrate the simplicity of Google to a Job Search Site.
There is even new portal for jobs search! like jobs4mac.com for Mac users only.
Job sites in Europe usually pay around 5 to 20 Euro Cent per click
But BE The channel is The Goal
>> no cpc
a special jobboard like http://www.spirofrog.de and http://www.expertia.de is the future.
Create your own channel!
Indeed works very nicely.
Indeed is by far the best job search experience out there. Clean, clear, simple, and fast. Notice all of the distracting banner ads on monster and careerbuilder. It’s obvious they are far less concerned with job seeker experience and more with revenue from irrelevant ads.
You will never see an ad on indeed that is not highly targeted to the search.
It’s no wonder why the traffic and advertisers are moving from job boards to indeed.
What is their revenue like? Are they profitable?
Peep the new ResumeRace.com
Where do they get the funding?
So, ummm… Just why doesn’t the sample include Craigslist? Aside from my speculation it’s likely CL would have more traffic than all these other sites combined, and thus skew the sample?
I suppose the headline, “A Ranking of Job Search Sites That Aren’t Craigslist” just isn’t sexy enough.
One can’t even say the issue is that Craigslist isn’t *predominantly* a job search engine, given, “All of these numbers are for the core job search at each site, and do not include other parts of their sites…”
resumes, advice, or career tools must included. studysols.com
but which is more best and profitable in world .like studysols.com
So, if Monster.com and CB etc, are viewed as largely a waste of time, what do you call a site that combines them all?
Indeed list 17,024 jobs in Detroit, SimplyHired list 16,575, so who is right? Answer. Neither. Aggregating each other and jobs from fictitious employers is hardly a service. There are currently 786 jobs with real companies in Detroit (according to stats). So what are the rest? Scraping each others jobs, work at home opportunities, marketing gimmicks do not constitute jobs.
That said, Indeed works – its brute force, as a job seeker if you’re willing to spend hours and hours searching and applying to jobs, then Indeed does indeed work.
I enjoyed reading the collection of great advice on this page.
I thought I’d share with you a great new, free tool to help job seekers: http://www.preverify.com
