Far too many job boards have placed far too much burden on candidates and employers at the resume or job posting stage. It can take 30 minutes to post a resume at some job boards. The best candidates know that they don't have to put up with that so they quit the process and the ones who end up completing are the most desperate. Those are normally not the candidates most highly sought after by leading employers. We're in the process of re-designing our site and will re-launch later this year. Let's just say that we're going to look a lot more like Craigslist and a lot less like we do now. Perhaps it is because they don’t have candidate matching technology.
