But what does engagement look like across these same sites?

How does Simplyhired compare against the 3 listed above?
November 7th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
Simply Hired is at 2.7M UV, 40 total min, and 28 page views. However I would not read too much into these numbers, I don’t trust them at all. It makes no sence to me that a site could have 35% less UV and 19% more page views. Especially considering when you click on a job on Indeed you go to sites like Monster.

As a former cb employee this has got to drive them crazy internally! Maybe this accounts for some of the rumors that I heard from some of my former coworkers that went down last Friday (oh, I am sure there will be blogs from you all on it, surprised they haven’t started yet).
Keep up the good work guys and girls!
(to Tom, it is very possible , they power sites like myspace (if talking about simply hired), people could have pages loaded and never ever actually look at a job. (if talking about indeed) they are very high on results on sites like google (optimized well if you will). This means people click on them but may not actually really read to deep into anything… just some thoughts (I believe indeed is possibly the BEST job search site on the net right now… once they integrate better into employers sites it will be unstoppable and bye bye cb, monster, hotjobs (at least to their current business model)

Dan,
Do you even know what you are talking about? Indeed is going to overtake CB, Monster, etc.? Indeed is a an aggregator website and essentially is a focal point that shows you online ads from various different job boards. They are not a true job board themself. If you took away all of the online sites that post jobs, then Indeed would have nothing to pull from.
No wonder you are a former employee of CB.

I’m curious to know how many employees at CB, MNST (MWW), HJ etc. are on indeed and simply hired inflating these numbers? How many sales people use these sites to one; see where prospects are posting their jobs and two; finding out whether or not the prospect actually has openings?

Mike, It looks like you’re missing the boat here, buddy. Do you know what YOU’RE talking about?
Yes, Indeed aggregates from job boards, but but it also aggregates from direct employer ATS’s. So.. they would NOT be out of jobs if you took away the job boards.They would just have less duplicate jobs.
That will actually be the point where Indeed squashes the job boards - when they drop their jobs and stop sending them their traffic. Then direct employers will get even better exposure on Indeed because they won’t have job board results mixed in. But who knows - looks like the slogan in one search, all jobs. I guess that means they keep jobs from everywhere.
