targeted reports, Choosing A Job Distribution Partner. This
in-depth analysis looks at the 24 visible competitors in the Job
Advertising Distribution (JAD) market. By definition, a JAD company takes
job posting data from a customer and distributes it to a variety of web
based media outlets. These services reduce the administrative burden
(doing the same thing multiple times) imposed by the exploding Electronic
Recruiting Marketplace. While they approach the problem from a variety of
vantage points, the end result is similar. A customers' jobs are posted in
a variety of settings resulting in a higher flow of resumes per job
advertisement.
Cross-posting, the delivery of a single job posting to a variety of
destinations, is as old as the industry itself. Net-Temps, one of the
companies reviewed in this volume, has been using the technique
successfully since its inception in 1995. RecruitUSA, another company as
old as the industry, has been building a customer base with this technique
throughout its existence. CareerCast, a small California firm, has added
an interesting wrinkle to the equation. Their spiders (using a technique
pioneered by Junglee in the mid 1990s) will acquire jobs from a corporate
website and display them throughout their network.
Given the past year's economic uncertainty, and the broadly perceived
failure of "dot com" companies; we took a critical look at the staffing
composition, market effectiveness and alliance structures of each of these
companies. While our analysis is not as accurate as if the companies were
publicly held, we believe that our view assesses the relative financial
health and well being of each competitor.
Each of the different audiences is an investor of sorts. Recent
spectacular failures by companies like iSearch and Skillset have left HR
customers nervous about doing business with smaller concerns. This creates
an environment in which the greatest risk appears to be the financial
viability of the vendor. In these post NASDAQ-crash days, it is reasonable
to adopt a business strategy that favors a mediocre player with viability
over a stellar technical idea. Thankfully, our analysis shows that the
real industry leaders are also proven business concerns.

There is an established job board making new waves in the online
recruiting industry. CareerWeb.com, a subsidiary of Trader Publishing
Company, is poised for strong growth. Careerweb.com is the online
companion to The Employment Guide, a localized print publication with a
weekly circulation of 3 million papers. Using the Employment Guide as
advertising, Careerweb.com has grown to a sizable site with over 100,000
job searches per day. So why use CareerWeb.com instead of Monster or
Hotjobs?
CareerWeb.com is building a network of localized sites. Recruiters can
post jobs locally. Similarly, job seekers will find only local jobs. The
local site idea is appealing to job seekers who lack the time to search a
monstrous job database, and who are not willing to relocate for a "hot"
job. Jobseekers like that search results are more specific to their needs.
Check out the first three of these local sites at: OrlandoCareerWeb.com, RaleighCareerWeb.com, and ChicagoCareerWeb.com.
