Weekly Article
Fortune 500 Top 25 Corporate Staffing Sites
By CareerXRoads

CareerXroads released their annual study examining Fortune 500 job sites under the premise that

• The most qualified job seekers will always have a choice,
• Their experience of a company will influence their choice,
• And, for many, a company’s Website IS their experience.

This year’s study again included a personal dimension in addition to the hands-on review of each site. CareerXroads enlisted the assistance of 25 out-of-work human resource executives to find and apply for a job as Golde Locks on the focused list of Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For. The results of this “mystery shopping” certainly add depth to the review. “A corporate website needs to be recognized as the all important first impression for people you’re trying to attract as future employees,” notes Mark Mehler, principal of CareerXroads. “If we were to visit your site as part of this study would we know who you want to hire? Would we know why candidates would choose you?” Qualifying and attracting candidates via a corporate website is taking on greater importance. Here’s the list of sites that are closest to understanding that fact:
