a new kind of job search

I use job boards like Monster and CareerBuilder quite often in my day to day work, but this week I came across a new type of job board that intrigued me. I’m definitely passing this information on to the recruiters I know.

Indeed.com allows you to search by city, keyword, and title. The neat thing about Indeed.com is that it’s a huge feed, and it pulls jobs from sites you’ve probably never heard of. Lots of employers chose not to use Monster or Career Builder due to the cost, and they post on smaller, cheaper, niche sites you’ve probably never heard of - how can you find those job listings? When you use Indeed.com, you’ll have no problem finding them, because Indeed pulls listings from those smaller sites and puts them into your results list.

Here’s a tip - in the search field, to narrow your terms to something in the job title, use this:

title:(analyst)

That will ensure the results you see have analyst in the job title. Let me know how it works for you!

    I used to look at Indeed a lot when I was still working and miserable, looking for a change. Thanks for the reminder of their site, I thought it was really good place to look.

    I took a look just to see, and wouldn’t you know it! There is a pretty good job opening RIGHT BY MY HOUSE! I had to apply, thanks!
