The
annual CareerXroads directory of online
career development resources has become
the industry bible for recruiting professionals
in every sector, and the new 2002 edition
is no exception.
Once again, authors Gerry Crispin and Mark
Mehler have compiled the ultimate "Who's
Who" in online recruiting and, as always,
it features several articles from some of
the industry's most respected names. Over
2,500 sites are listed in the CareerXroads
index, including more than 600 newcomers.
Also, over 200 sites that have gone out
of business have been removed. More than
500 sites get the full review treatment.
Each
site review features a breakdown of fees
and other valuable statistics, such as the
number of resumes and jobs the site provides,
as well as information on career specialties
when applicable. Contact information is
also listed.
The
new edition features a variety of articles
focusing on industry trends, views, and
advice. Articles are geared toward recruiting
professionals and job seekers alike. For
example, job seekers will want to read "Getting
Results with Your Online Resumes" by
Glenn Gutmacher and "Creating Byte-Able
Resumes for Electronic Job Searching"
by Michelle Dumas.
Recruiters
themselves will be more interested in "How
to Purchase a Hosting Service for your Corporate
Website Job Pages" by Michael Forrest
and "Metrics and the Metrics Driven
Staffing Model of Staffing.org" by
Steve LaMotta.
Other contributors include Dr. John Sullivan,
Brett Hollander, and Ed Struzik.
As
always, Mehler and Crispin also ante up--this
time with their engaging piece "Staffing
2011: How Talent and Opportunity Connect."
The article is an imaginative account of
how a job seeker overcomes the challenges
she faces in the marketplace of the future.
Mehler
and Crispin's continuing role as the industry's
foremost experts on online recruiting ensures
that the CareerXroads guide will continue
to serve as an invaluable resource to both
recruiters and job seekers. Their directory
