Weekly Article
Online Job Boards Growing Faster Than Newspaper
Classifieds
The rate of revenue growth in the third quarter for
the leading online job boards -- Careerbuilder, Monster
and HotJobs -- far exceeded the rate of growth for
traditional newspaper classified ads in the recruitment
category, according to data released today by Corzen,
Inc. (http://
www.corzen.com ).
Overall growth for the national job boards was 47.4
percent compared to 15.9 percent for newspaper
classifieds during the third quarter, 2004.
"Although the newspapers still generate more revenue
in print than the job boards do online, the difference
in the growth rates is dramatic," said Bruce Murray,
CEO, Corzen. "This is the third consecutive quarter
where online revenues have grown faster than print,
which all but confirms the view that online classifieds
will eventually overtake print classifieds in volume and
revenue."
Corzen measures online job postings and revenue for
approximately 200 US markets, tracking the trends in
advertising spending by employers. In addition to
tracking the total number job postings on newspaper and
national job board sites, Corzen also tracks the
companies using online job boards on a weekly basis.
