Re^2: Job Posting Section?

[adrianh]

I agree that we need something more than jobs.perl.org.

Why? (he asks curiously)

I don't see the advantage of making employees find and post to two locations, and have job hunters have to look at two sites?

Because jobs.perl.org does not allow job hunters to post resumes.

Most employers/job hunters already look at several websites.

Surely that's an argument for adding that facility to jobs.perl.org rather than going elsewhere.

Ah. I see. I didn't understand that was what you were after. Sorry.

It is on the 'not so soonish' todo list. Might be worth volunteering to help implement if you think it worthwhile functionality.

That said when I've been on the employer side of the fence I've yet to meet anybody who actually uses these sort of service.

Yup - and this sucks.

The more places people have to visit the more time and effort is wasted, and the more likely it is that people will miss a site. IMHO it would be a much better idea to encourage jobs.perl.org to become the place you go for Perl jobs.

Why volunteer when I can just use the following websites which have this functionality?:

• Monster.com
• ComputerJobs.com
• Dice.com
• HotJobs.com
I could list many more. Apparently, they view the functionality as "worthwhile," as do the plethora of job seekers and employers who use the service every day.
