INTERNET - CareerBuilder.com Healthcare Virtual Career Fair

CareerBuilder is hosting it's second major job fair which is going to focus on Healthcare.

CareerBuilder uses the platform developed by UNISFAIR for their layout and designs. Thoughts on the platform? It seems to integrate a variety of items into the job fair and it cuts down the operating cost by bringing in more and more employers. What kind of results have you seen in the past from virtual job fairs?

ONLINE - E-Bay for Job Postings? Jobaphiles.com

The site is called Jobaphiles.com and right now they specifically cater to the Boston area and are only in their Beta stage. Other cities have posted on there already and they have a different way of handling their openings.

Employers post a free description of their job and they can either list the price range they are willing to pay or they let the potential employees bid on the projects/part-time work/full-time work. Employers are not required to hire anyone if they don’t like the bids or the quality of the applicants. They are also able to send private messages to candidates. Right now this style of the job board focuses on recent graduates and college students. One thing that stood out to me was the fact that employers are able to rate their employee on the website once the job is complete. Those who are bidding are also able to see other people’s responses.

This offers an interesting chance to reach out to those about to enter the job market and offer internships, paid/unpaid/lowest bid/best resume, and tap into the college talent pool.

While limited to Boston at this time, they do have an option to be notified when a Jobaphiles is available for their area.
