Guess who’s successfully competing with online job
boards. That’s what the appropriately named TwitterJobSearch.com is doing by
searching Twitter and pulling out Tweets believed to be job listings.
As the
first real social media job search engine, TwitterJobSearch uses semantic
intelligence, link-crawling, and crowdsourcing to help track recruitment
offers.
Similar to other online job boards you may be
using, TwitterJobSearch allows users to browse for jobs in categories – such as
accounting, sales, or IT – or simply search the company’s index. Remember, posting a tweet is free (yea!),
whereas posting jobs on other sites like Monster and HotJobs costs money.
Keep in mind each job listing – which is really
just a standard tweet – lets users view the job by linking to the posting
(presuming it was linked from the tweet); save the job with a TwitterJobSearch
account; and either retweet it or follow the user that posted it.
This site appears to have several advanced
features, making it even more competitive with traditional job sites – such as being
able to filter jobs based on salary and drilling down to job type (full-time,
part-time, or internship).
So if you’re a Twitter user (or planning to become one), we feel this is definitely worth adding to your current job-search strategy.
We'll be providing information later this week regarding other online job search engines.
