It seems that Monster is continuing its long, slow fade as the ‘big dog’ in the job board world (funny how long-term lack of leadership can do that to you). But there are plenty of services vying for the leadership role:Indeed, CareerBuilder, and LinkedIn come most immediately to mind. Of these, the latter two have shown the most…See More

"I agree, and frankly if I were to do a job search I don't think I'd want everyone to know my business!"
Jerry Albright commented on Jeff Dickey-Chasins's blog post 'Is there a truly social job search service out there?'"I just don't see the "social" need for job search frankly.
