CareerXroads have 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 companyís Website IS their experience.
This yearís 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 Fortuneís 100 Best Companies to Work For. The results of this ìmystery shoppingî certainly add depth to the review. ìA corporate website needs to be recognized as the all important first impression for people youíre trying to attract as future employees,î notes Mark Mehler, principal of CareerXroads. ìIf 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?î Qualifying and attracting candidates via a corporate website is taking on greater importance. Hereís the list of sites that are closest to understanding that fact:
