A Good Web 2.0 Job Site

The recent economic downturn has certainly weighed heavily on harried online job seekers. Luckily, new Web 2.0 job tools are making it easier for employees and hiring companies to find each other. A recent article on MSNBC hailed the benefits of comanies such as Jobs2Web: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29463590/ which are taking a new tack to adress the new ways that employees are searching for job opportunities.

Before the advent of LinkedIn and Facebook, the internet job search process was by and large limited to job postings and user resume submissions. This tends to be a cumbersome process, overwhelming a company with a huge pile of innapropriate applicants. It can be extremely difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff! Companies like Jobs2Web take on a comprehenive Web 2.0 approach, relying on social networks to target and match candidates who have specific skills necessary for the job in question.

In my opinion better targeting of job candidates through Web 2.0 technology will be better for everyone involved. No longer will you send your resume inot the "black hole" of a site like Monster.com with the near certainty of never hearing a response. Hopefully the job search process will continue to evolve to become a much fiendlier, faster and direct experience that saves time for everyon invovolved. Companies like Jobs2Web will help us get there ....on the net.... http://www.jobs2web.com
