"Niche" job boards are growing in popularity. A deluge of candidates, looking for work; have
driven traffic, sky on our nation's top job boards. "Record Traffic Propels Monster Into Top 25 Most Visited Properties", during February, 2002.In parallel, many third party search firms have abandoned the use of Monster and other nationally recognized Job boards. The resume morass creates a strain on the short-handed over worked HR/Corporate recruiters, scrambling to handle the flow, required to only present those qualified. HR/Corporate internal recruiting organizations have invested millions in software and services to screen and track the multitude of responses.
Niche job boards, effectively countered this problem. Niche boards attract better-qualified, more experienced candidates, by target marketing their boards to job seekers within their particular niche field. This avoids the curse of the generalist boards, where many candidates apply for every position, regardless of experience, qualifications or skills.
Niche jobs boards do not have budgets to compete. Don Firth, President and CEO of JobsInLogistics.com and AllRetailJobs.com joined with Eric Shannon, owner of Latrpro.com and Jim Moylan, owner of CallCenterJobs.com. Together, they have created an alliance (Nicheboards.com) of leading, non-competing, independently owned niche job boards.
Their success, will provide recruiters with an effective alternative to generalist boards.
