Recruiters check e-mail and online postings - they rarely if ever take the time to check "Apply Online listings" in their Monster account. At least none of the recruiters I know. They already have information overload. I wonder what would happen if candidates knew that most online applications are never looked at.

She has just the opposite problem. CareerBuilder now requires job seekers to apply through their online system and whenever she gets a resume it comes in as one long string of text which is difficult to read. Makes you wonder if these sites ever heard of the term 'user friendly'. I ran into a recruiter friend of mine tonite who is a CareerBuilder user. She has just the opposite problem.
