I thought it would be a good idea to compile a comprehensive list of some of the top job search websites and web 2.0 properties that are particularly helpful for job searchers, all in one place. This article is a result of all the research I did on the most popular and usable job search sites.

List of Best Job Sites

Hound

Hound is different and one of the most admired job sites. Its philosophy is simple, and that is to expose the jobs directly from employers to the prospective employee. No middlemen or recruiting agencies are allowed on this website. The benefit of this website is that it exhibits opportunities that are displayed on the employer's portal. These are the opportunities that usually get less of applications as they are not advertised on the regular job portals. Thus your chances of landing up with a job are better here. If you are looking for Fortune 500, Fortune 1000, Inc. 500 and Inc. 5000 jobs, then this is the place to look at. Have a quick look at http://www.hound.com for an idea about the service.

Indeed acts as an aggregator of job listings from various corporate websites, job portals and other online properties. Indeed can be accessed at http://www.indeed.com

Talk of the effectiveness of Web2.0 properties in today's job search market and this success story in the form of LinkedIn keeps coming up again and again. LinkedIn is a network of professionals who connect with each other and communicate directly. I have observed one trend among the HR executives in various organizations. Almost all of them are active in LinkedIn advertising the opportunities available in their respective companies. To create a profile in LinkedIn check out their website at http://www.linkedin.com/

Here's a job portal with a difference. This website is a non profit organization conceptualized by some of the most admired US corporations. Companies like Dell and IBM were responsible for setting up this website. It is a non for profit organization that is admired by job seekers and employers.
