“Avoid the overcrowded major job hubs to find the best jobs and at the same time reduce your competition by over 50%”

Learn how to find great jobs that often aren’t found on the major job boards. Recruiters still use the major boards for some of their routine jobs, however more and more they’re posting their better, more specialized jobs on smaller, niche job boards.

After all, wouldn’t you rather go after the more attractive jobs?

Here’s what’s happening – you must understand this

Job search engines – better known as job boards – have grown by the hundreds in the past few years. Experts estimate there are currently well over 10,000 active job boards on the Internet in the U.S., alone.

How do you sort through all this clutter and find the job boards that specialize in your specific skills and background? The answer is that they’re usually hard to find and take you hours to locate. Even after hours of searching you’re not likely to find them all, especially the best ones. That’s your challenge, but I’ve solved that one for you!

Using just the major job boards is like an engine with half the cylinders malfunctioning

Why would you use only part of the best job search strategies when you could fire up those other cylinders?

Likely it’s because you don’t know where these other job boards can be found on the Internet.

I’ve solved a big part of your dilemma. Drawing on my own experience as an active, independent recru

iter and my role as National Practice Director for The Adler Group (we train corporate recruiting teams and therefore know exactly what they’re doing and why), I have painstakingly documented well over 500 job boards that you need to know about.

Not all of them will fit you, but there are likely several that do and they’re also probably sites you don’t know about. Yet, there just could be that great job that isn’t listed anywhere else. While I except you’ll find several, if you found just one that resulted in a great job offer, you can expect that job to have a profound impact on your long-term career success.

I almost never post my best job searches on the most well know job hubs – so where do I post them?

That’s right; I post less 1% of my jobs on the better known job hubs. Yet I post 95% of all my job opportunities on specialty job board sites. If you knew where to look, you’d be able to find them. Most of the top recruiters do the same thing.

Why would recruiters take that strategy anyway?

The answer encompasses two top reasons. First, the major hubs are cluttered and even with their search agents, sorting through that clutter can take hours. Secondly, I want to connect quickly with only those individuals with the specialty skills and background that fit my search assign

ments.

Niche job boards sites by default to just that. I can quickly engage with a smaller community of potential job candidates who will only be interested in the areas covered by the specialty board.

Here’s another thing that top recruiters have discovered about niche job board sites

The quality of job matches increases exponentially when sourcing candidates from these sites. That means the quality of the candidate is much higher. One thing that seems to be a contributing factor is that top candidates have researched where to find these jobs.  Average candidates just follow the crowd and get lost in the masses.
