Jeff Woelker : Chicago SEO, SEM, and Online Marketing Consultant

I have used a number of job sites over the years to find and post jobs and find projects to work on in between my other jobs. I always thought these guys had a great little job website, but it doesn’t seem that they ever really had any selection. I think it was just a matter of lack of traffic. There was also FlipDog, which was a great job search engine, which had a really fun interface, but which was ultimately acquired by Monster and destroyed. Monster is now trying to resurrect FlipDog as a Google-like job interface, but I think Google does a pretty good job of that with their Google Base interface.

So who’s the new best job site in town? Immediately, you would think Monster or Careerbuilder, but you would be wrong (at least in my opinion). The best place around is in face craigslist. Don’t believe me? Check out this little grahpic courtesy of Alexa trend rankings:

And this little page has some comparative data as to the pricing structure in every major market. Craiglist is no slouch and definitely deserves a look in the future if you are looking to post or find a job. Know of any other great tech or other related job sites? Let me know if the comments.
