Monster returns a considerable number of results narrowed by a wide variety of filters: geography, job type, job category, keyword, etc. I got over 50 results for non-profit jobs in or near Oakland, and I was able to separate part-time from full-time and set up an RSS feed, critical features for my search. I will continue to use Monster in the search; whether it is ultimately effective in generating results remains to be seen.

No doubt they have extremly heavy traffic to the site but for the cost associated with using it and the crazy number of advertisements they have it's really not worth having to constantly click "close ad" everytime i navigate to a new page.

Monster. Not only does almost every company post here, but Monster has the best usability. You can hit "back" and get where you were, find articles, add a slew of info in the search boxes in "advanced job search", and pull down on the left to see how many jobs are in your search and some common ways to thin it. Plus, Monster loads quickly! The other "big box" job sites (e.g. HotJobs, CareerBuilder) have significantly inferior searches and waiting periods. Even the unemployed don't want to deal with that.

If you need to use job boards, there's Monster and then there's .....



Still the largest resume database on the planet. I could never justify it for the number of people I found there and actually placed, but could not afford to be without it. The number of qualified people I have found with resumes now up to 2 years old, have been a gold mine for referrals.



I have my own database of about 40K resumes. I go there first then to LinkedIn. If I am less than positive I have a winner I'm off to Monster.
