Jobs Boards and Graduate Recruitment

 **Career job information for job seekers and find good   employment job 



Company directories are almost always provided on any job board. Job seekers can use this to do their research on the potential companies they would like to work for, or maybe look up which agencies or companies specialize in graduate recruitment.

CV searches are an excellent tool that should be made the most of for anyone who's seeking to get maximum exposure. Essentially this allows you to upload a CV and let graduate recruitment agencies and companies come to you rather than you seeking them out. This is a benefit for both the employers and you, as they can find people who would not have necessarily applied for their vacancies in the first place, whilst you save time on your job search and get increased exposure to your CV. Also it is advisable to make use of the 'company block' feature, as if your current employer sees that you are seeking a job elsewhere, there may well be repercussions.

Job alerts are also a useful function that all modern jobs boards will have. This involves you subscribing to receive alerts to either (or both) your email or mobile phone which alert you to vacancies in your field and location. These come free of charge to your email, but at a cost to your mobile. Alerts can be useful as you may not have time to search all the graduate recruitment jobs boards every day.

Blogs and forums are another feature that most jobs boards will have. These allow you to tap into the community of others using these sites. If you have a question about a company, job or industry, a query posted on here may return many answers quickly from other users who know the answers.
Article libraries are useful too. You can utilize these to gain knowledge of your desired field which you wouldn't necessarily find out from careers advisors, lecturers or companies themselves. They are usually written by people with lots of experience in that field, so they are definitely worth having a glance at.

Probably the most important feature of jobs boards is their graduate recruitment search feature. Keyword searches are a most useful tool. This will search the text within job adverts for the terms you put in. So for example, if you were on site for graduate jobs but were only interested in sales vacancies, if you put the word 'sales' into the keyword search this can immediately isolate any advert with the word 'sales' in the text.

To sum up, the internet is awash with useful tools for graduate recruitment job seekers. Job boards are an excellent source and they might be vital to anyone wishing to be recruited into a graduate position.
