-- Following
are job leads from Indeed.com -- a job aggregator site with excellent
advanced search features. We have not pre-screened these leads,
however, we have coded them to use "smart"
search terms to help route
the most credible leads to this page. We encourage you to carefully
investigate any hirer you may be considering.
Job aggregator sites are a fairly new development in the world of
online job hunting, and they’re catching on like wildfire for
their streamlined yet comprehensive approach to job leads.
In a nutshell, a job aggregator site gathers leads from such sources as
online recruiters, job boards (e.g., Monster, CareerBuilder, etc.) and
other websites, reposts them all in one location, and makes them easy
to search.
Benefits of
job aggregator sites
While visiting job boards and conducting a search at each can be
effective, it can also be very time consuming. In “batching
the
boards,” job aggregator sites save you that time. But there
are
other benefits, too.
Big
fish and small fish in the same pond: Even if your daily job search
includes stops at all the big job boards, you may still miss great
leads that have been uploaded to lesser-known sites such as
BarefootStudent.com, GoliathJobs.com, TheJobPlanet.com, JobCircle.com,
and many more.
Fresh
information: Aggregator sites are designed to gather job listings from
other sites as they are posted. You don’t have to worry that
skipping the individual sites will leave you confined to stale
leads.
Casting
a broader net: Some job aggregator sites such as Indeed.com have a
feature that lets you search job leads taken directly from the
“career” pages of employer websites. With the right
search
techniques, this can quickly put you on the fast track to finding
excellent home-based jobs.
Well-fed
job source: Job aggregator sites accept automated
“feeds”
from various sources. This brings in job leads unlikely to be picked up
by standard job boards, where job ads must be purchased before they are
posted.
Customized
searches: Aggregator sites offer a broad range of search options that
allow you to focus your searches by geography, job type, keywords, and
other parameters. (Many job boards offer this feature, too, but the
search is limited to the individual board.)
Search
agents: If you’re accustomed to using search agents
(automated
searches that run continuously in the background, using preset search
terms) on other job boards, you’ll have that option on the
aggregator sites as well.
Email
alerts: Some aggregator sites will alert you by email when they post a
job matching your criteria. When you use well-considered search terms,
this can substantially shorten your hunt for home-based work.
