A job search engine is a website that facilitates job hunting. These sites range from large scale generalist boards to niche markets such as engineering, legal, insurance, social work and teaching. Users can typically deposit their resumes and submit them to potential employers, while employers can post job ads and search for potential employees. The category job search engines below is a list of specific search engines with details about them.
Vertical search is an emerging market with several new startups in this space both in US and in other countries. Major job search engines include: CareerBuilder (US), Monster.com (Worldwide), TolMol.com (India), Bixee.com (India), Eluta.ca (Canada), and Recruit.net (Hong Kong). There is a difference between these "job search engines" (which index jobs freely from employer and other sites) and the more traditional "job boards" (where all the jobs shown are advertisements).
