In the MBA career search, there are countless online channels through which MBA students and professionals can find prospective job and internship opportunities. In addition to both their own personal networking and their MBA program’s campus recruiting, most MBAs are familiar with and have experience using the major job search engines, such as Monster, CareerBuilder and Yahoo! HotJobs, to identify opportunities of interest. However, many MBAs have found these search engines to be disappointing and unfruitful due to the abundance of irrelevant results. Also, job seekers must visit all three search engines in addition to any other channels that they use separately in order to maximize their opportunities. This can be quite wasteful of a job seeker’s valuable time and energy.

There have been a number of recent job search engines that have stepped up to resolve this issue. Based on personal experience and the feedback of real MBAs, Indeed.com and LinkUp.com are considered some of the most effective job search engines on the web today.
