They started charging $25 per job posting only six months ago and it's very much worth it. We've found extremely competent people on that site. When we were looking for an IT guy two years ago, a consulting company we were using to get us through the absence of our former employee told us to try craigslist because he said all the network people were using that to look for jobs. We found some very qualified applicants and have not used anything else since (including the way over-priced local newspaper). Like Danbert, I am surprised about Monster and HotJobs not being in the top 10, but when you consider how much those sites charge, it makes sense. In 2006, we spent thousands of dollars on advertising for applicants, less in 2007 and very little in 2008. It is one area we are truly saving the company money right now.

Locally there are usually specific sites also, I.e. in Kansas City we have www.kchasjobs.com, etc. I think Monster has been hacked so many times, people do not feel secure using it.

Are things changing with Monster and Hotjobs in terms of perception? Wow…Monster or HotJobs don’t even crack the top 10. Are things changing with Monster and Hotjobs in terms of perception?
