    I'm currently making a Job Board from scratch. I need advise and opinion from others on good features and bad features of current Job Boards. What features would people like to have as a Job Seeker or an Employer? I could use any advise please.

    Thanks in advance... :)

    If anyone knows any good resources or disscusion boards where I can get more information. Please let me know. This just seems like a difficult thing to research.

    Probably a better suited Q for the General Marketing forums here on DP.

    Go after a niche or a region and market it very well to HR people/ owners. If its not busy, why would somebody not use monster?

    It may be nice to allow some SEO benefit to your customers, but most wont be that impressed. You would probally have to offer this free to businesses for at least 6 months until you have a some activity.

    Anyway, good luck.

    yea, I hope to release the BETA at the end of this month.. We'll offer free service while it BETA.. once things get going and all the changes have been made, them we'll start charging. I know Monster is the biggest Job Board on the web, but I don't see what people like in it. I can't stand job boards that are clutered with ads, searches are too confusing and the layout looks like some kids high school project. Job Seekers want jobs and Employers want Job Seekers... thats it...
