PCMag came out with their list, and now MediaBistro is publishing their favorites. Here are MB’s top twenty job sites.
- Beyond.com Beyond claims to be the largest network of niche career communities on the Net. It essentially hooks together different organizations like PRJobForce.com and PhillyJobs.com all in one place, which makes it easy to find leads in your community.
- CareerBuilder.com As the Web’s biggest job site, CareerBuilder gets more than 23 million visitors a month. The company has been around since 1995, and has developed an incredible network of listing sources and job search centers since that time.
- Craigslist.org The granddaddy of online classifieds gives those who are focused on searching for jobs within their communities an easy way to look. It might be one of the least-polished entities listed here, but the sheer number of local job listings makes up for it.
- Execu|Search This site looks to be a selective, higher-tier job search property. Execu|Search screens and reviews every resume that is submitted, and helps employers find the best possible candidates for their open positions.
- Hound Hound’s search engine shows jobs from employer Web sites only. In theory, this cuts out duplicate listings and shows opportunities that are not posted on other job boards.
- Indeed Indeed works as an aggregator for listings from major job Web sites, company Web sites, associations, and other online sources. Its simplicity and ease of use are its best features.
- JobCentral JobCentral is a service formed by a nonprofit consortium of U.S. corporations like IBM and Dell, which makes it ideal if you’re looking for corporate job listings.
- JobServe JobServe claims it was “the world’s first Internet recruitment service.” In 2008, JobServe advertised more than 2.5 million jobs across 15 industry sectors.
- Jobster uses an active approach to help employers and recruiting teams of all sizes find their candidates. The company calls its method “social recruiting,” and it services 24 different job categories.
- LinkedIn Best known for being a social network for professionals, LinkedIn also has thorough job listings, some of which are exclusive to LinkedIn.

There’s a typo in the first URL (”http://www.mediabistro.como/”)
Also, if you’d read their article, you’d have seen that it’s simply a wrapper for the PC Mag article. They do not have their own list.

MediaBistro’s list is a 100% re-publish of PCMag’s (heck, they even only include the top 10 and link to PCMag for the rest of the 20).
As far as why Hound.com keeps getting recognized, I’d say its a healthy combination of luck, great marketing, and article writers not knowing there are better options.

I’ve been having some luck with the board at http://www.voolkan.com which you posted about here: http://www.cheezhead.com/2009/04/02/ved-the-voolkan-job-board/
Since I signed up a week or so ago they added a way to store your resume on their server, which has saved me a lot of time.
