23. October 2008
By Joel Cheesman - Life is getting pretty tough for the likes of Monster, CareerBuilder and Yahoo! HotJobs, according to recent traffic data by HitWise. Aggregation solutions like Indeed and Simply Hired, in contrast, are gaining significant traction. Moreover, Google, it turns out, is a more important driver of traffic than brand awareness. As numbers reveal, "Search is a key driver of traffic, with the majority coming from organic results, paid search is currently not broadly used within the Employment category."
