corporate career centers make good showing in inc. magazine poll
July 28th, 2005
David Manaster writes a nice piece on a recent Inc. Magazine poll of smaller employers and their favorite ways to fill job openings.
The results:
Friends / Colleagues - 44%
Newspaper ads and / or job boards - 22%
Corporate Web site - 22%
Current employees - 15%
This poll is bad news for newspapers and job boards, considering the strong showing by corporate Web sites.
A significant number of large corporations are already begining to abandon print and online postings in favor of the cheaper option of their own site.
The smaller guys - Inc. Magazine’s audience - were supposed to be the safe bet to keep the sacred cows in business. This poll suggests that may not be the case.
