Job Aggregators for Job Seekers

Job Aggregators

Job aggregators provide job seekers with jobs collected from various sites at a single location. The target sites include job boards, company career pages and agency sites. They work somewhat similarly to the larger search engines like Google, Yahoo, Live but are focussed on indexing jobs.

Some of the major aggregators covering jobs in India are listed below

Indeed
Simplyhired
Bixee
Recruit.net

Job aggregators also provide facility to create accounts, receive alerts by email or subscribe to RSS feeds. Some provide additional information including Salary trends as well as demand for the positions.

In our next article we will focus each of the individual aggregators mentioned above. This will cover features, sources covered, job volumes for some sample positions and for various locations.

Twitter, Linkedin, Monster

Numbers from Compete for Jan 2009

Twitter - touching 6 million people/month - 812% growth over one year
Linkedin - over 11 million people/month - 146% growth over one year
Monster - over 33.5 million people/month - 58% growth over one year

Looks good for these 3 so far. A lot of aggregators going at Monster, not sure if the numbers exclude these.
