Job Match Alerts
Great advice today by Bob Wilson of the Job Search Engine Guide for candidates. Bob recommends that candidates use what he called feeds and what many job boards call job match alerts or agents.
The terminology may differ, but they pretty much all operate the same way. Rather than the candidate having to run the same search day-after-day, they run it once, save the search, and then the job board automatically emails them whenever a new, matching opportunity is posted.
These feeds a/k/a alerts a/k/a agents are tremendous time savers and eliminate just one of the many excuses that some candidates have for not networking. While job boards are great tools for finding a new position, they're just one tool and most people find new positions through networking.
We believe so strongly that job seekers should use our Job Match Alert system that it is integrated into our search forms. When you run a search on our site, you're automatically asked if you want to save it as a Job Match Alert. Say yes. Let our automated system search our site for new, matching postings day-after-day. You've got far more important things to do.
