An online job board (or job site) is a valuable resource for employers and job seekers. Employers who need to grow their team can post and advertise their open positions, and job seekers can search, find, and apply to jobs with ease. Traditional job boards were physical boards where job listings were posted and advertised, but today the majority of jobs are posted to online website aggregates. Since job sites are faster and simpler to use, job sites have effectively replaced physical job boards over the past decade. Most employers prefer job sites because they can help save time and resources and make it simple to create listings that reach a large number of people fast. Job seekers prefer job sites because they can apply to more jobs in less time and with less effort, and search and apply for jobs located in cities throughout the country. Today, thousands of job sites exist, and more are created each day to help connect people to the right opportunities. Job sites can include listings for all types of jobs in every industry, or they can be industry-specific and designed to provide job content to a niche group of job seekers.
