In the past few weeks several things came across my desk about Craigslist and the ‘volume’ of job postings that are being done on the website. I usually dispute these numbers and try to explain the difference between real job boards and free boards like Craigslist.
It had been some time since I last visited Craigslist so I went and check out jobs in Las Vegas. Although you can not see the total number of jobs that appear on the website, it is apparent that they have a lot.
Then I decided to see what types of job postings were being published. Wow…was I shocked. All of the ads that Recruiting Nevada flat-out refuse to accept are all over the place. And to make it worse - there are scammers/spammers recruiting to add more spam/scams to Craigslist list:
As a jobseeker I think I would become aggravated very quick having to wade through a sea of unreal ads to try and find a job applicable to my skill set.
There is something to say for “free” but what does it cost in terms of time? I wonder.
