What is a Job Aggregator?

Basically they are search engines for jobs. There are currently over 40,000 j ob boards on the Internet. There are major job boards like Monster, CareerBuilder, and HotJobs. There are Regional job boards like AllCountyJobs.com for people in CT. And there are Niche & Industry-Specific job boards such as SalesAnimals for sales positions. Therefore, how do you know which ones to use for your job search. Well, I know 2 companies who have search engines that pull all of the jobs on the web to their site - SimplyHired and Indeed. Both offer FREE access for Job Seekers. I noticed that SimplyHired has a bunch of new, very cool tools that allow you to get updates on your Facebook account or directly to your phone. Indeed recently launched a job search by salary as a unique way of connecting with job seekers. I would recommend checking out both of these sites and at least setting up job alerts.
