I have read in many articles like this (http://www.recruitingfly.com/ved-realmatch-survey-shows-job-board-dissatisfaction/ ) that employers are abandoning the pay to post model in favor of free or pay for preformance sites.

However, registering on job boards is NOT a good strategy for a job hunt. If you read my blog, you’ll know that I advocate targeting a specific resume for each employer, networking to learn about jobs and proactively seeking out opportunities that are not posted.

Since online job posting is in decline, I’d suggest focusing on enhancing your linkedin profile and limiting the focus on job boards.

I’m happy to help! I hope this blog is useful, and feel free to contact me directly if you have additional questions:
