Largest Resume Posting Websites (Percentage of Job Postings in thousands) Monster CareerPath CareerBuilder Headhunter.net HotJobs 371 340 180 169 150
Competitive Analysis The top forty employment website companies offer similar products and compete for the same market share. Resume posting companies charge $150-$250 per job posting (packages generally range from $5,000-$50,000). There are over three million jobs posted on the Internet today. Approximately 71 percent of job board website resumes are from unemployed job seekers. Print employment ads are expensive and reach only 12 percent of adults with household incomes over $50,000.

Some experts say that the larger a resume database gets the more difficult and time consuming it becomes to search. Monster.coms founder and CEO, Jeff Taylor, admits that big resume services like his can be a black hole for job listings and resumes. I think the matching process is begging for innovation.
