LINKS TO SEVEN JOB SEARCH ENGINES
Job Search Resources
If you are engaged in a serious job search, you have run into job search engines. They aggregate job descriptions from a variety of sources, some directly from the hiring company. They tend to duplicate one another, but they are all worth using for those exceptions.
My test for a Director of Development showed many jobs on The Ladders and other job boards that were also shown at the company web site for direct connections. I did notice many openings for companies where I know for a fact, there is a freeze on hiring.
If you use these job search engines, understand that not every company uses the same terminology for the same job. Use a variety of titles to round up the greatest selection of jobs you might want. Some of the sites will update you on new opportunities for your title choices.
simply hired is a template for most job search engines. The site aggregates results from major job websites, newspapers, company websites, associations and other online sources. Employers cannot post jobs. Site is strictly for job seekers. Users can search by occupation, job title or location.

My suggestion is to use more than one site to discover the direct path to the job since using any of the job boards just means you have more competition. A direct approach is always preferable and a referral is even better.
