San Ramon, CA (September 18, 2007) - eQuest, the global leader in job posting and Internet management services, announced today it has completed its analysis of hundreds of free job boards to determine the most effective free posting websites in the United States.
The boards were measured using several technology indicators that calculate overall candidate traffic patterns and job board advertising effectiveness. They do not indicate hiring results.
Results were measured during a 3-month study between the months of June 1, 2007 through August 31, 2007 - on a sample of 15,000 job postings delivered to each job board in the eQuest network.
Jobster sealed the number one position with over 36,000 responding candidates.
The Ladders made an impressive jump from last quarter’s statistics coming in 2nd with just over 33,000 responding candidates.
Surprisingly, GoogleBase came in 3rd place with over 21,000 candidates responding to job advertisements.
SimplyHired garnered 4th place with a respectable 9,100 respondents.
Indeed.com dropped from 1st to 5th place only returning 5,500 candidates.
The study eliminated job boards that distribute its database of jobs to other job sites to artificially increase their candidate traffic flow.
eQuest established the free job board certification program in April, 2006. The program is the first job distribution company to harvest traffic trending data on job boards. Only job boards meeting eQuest's strict standards will be awarded certification and admission into the eQuest FreeBug Network – an unlimited network offered to its customers.
FreeBug is an acronym for Free Board User Group.
