I am an owner of a job search website and these are the praises and the complaints I get, on my job search website.
The most praised comments that I get for my site, is how many more job that are posted than their local newspaper or local job boards.
So what is boils down to is all jobs available at on source.
You can sit at home, library, or even at an internet cafe and search for jobs all day long.
The cost in gas money from just driving around looking for help wanted signs in windows and searching for job boards can add up quick when gas in $3.
Another great thing to be considered is when looking for a job online, once you have found a job you want, you can apply for that job right then and there by either filling out an online job application or by simply uploading your resume to the employer who is doing the hiring.
Finding the perfect job can increase you production and happiness as an employee.
Now for the con's the first one that I get the most from is not actually the job seekers, it is from the employers who has posted the job on my site.
In one instant I had a person from HR who posted a job on the site called me complaining that she had over 3000 people apply for the job within 8 hrs of posting the job on my site.
Plus most of the people that had applied didn't even fit the requirements that had been posted.
There is software out there for your computer that will sort through people who are not qualified for the position that you have posted.
The next problem with job search websites is the competition that you are up against.
One of the biggest complaints from Human Resource that i get is that no one uses a cover letter on their resumes.
The other problems that I have is with job search website that charge you a fee or membership to look or apply for a job you find on their site.
In my opinion this should be free, the people whom are looking for a job probably doesn't have money to be paying a monthly fee just to look for a job.
The employer also likes this because I charge less than the newspapers for the this service and they get twice as many views.
