Web Woe For Work-Hungry Surfers
from the keep-on-surfing dept
While most people looking for work these days do a good portion of the job search online, they're not happy about the job pages most companies put online. They say they want more information about the financial stability of the company, as well as information about career paths at the company and benefits given. That said, they still plan to continue their searches online. I can understand the complaints, but I think it has something to do with the current economics times. Many companies are being inundated with resumes, and they really don't see a reason to provide more upfront info until they've better qualified the applicants. Of course, there's a risk that more qualified job seekers won't even bother applying, but many companies are a lot more focused on staying in business right now, than attracting new employees. When the job market really picks up again, you'll see more companies provide better info on their job sites.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
