GetTheJob.com, a new search engine for jobs uncovers the hidden job market for jobseekers

Move over Monster, clear a path Careerbuilder, hop out of the way HotJobs. GetTheJob.com is the newest entry in the world of online job search, but itís definitely not just another job board.

GetTheJob.com is a vertical search engine or aggregator that gathers job postings directly from tens of thousands of company websites and organizes them into a searchable database. GetTheJob.com has over 2 million jobs from direct hire companies only; meaning there are no postings from headhunters, third party recruiters or too-good-to-be-true scam jobs, all jobs are from legitimate companies with legitimate job openings. The database of jobs also represents the hidden job market as 70% of the postings canít be found on commercial job boards.

ìIn order to view the majority of the jobs on our site, jobseekers would have to go to each employer website individually to find these opportunities.î stated Chris Amato, CEO of GetTheJob. ìMost employers donít post ALL of their openings on traditional job sites because it would be cost prohibitive, but they do post them to their own corporate career center, which costs nothing, we help jobseekers find these hidden jobs.î Amato added.

ìOur Direct Connect technology links job seekers to each posting on the hiring companyís web site,î according to Rick Fulton, COO of the company ìThis allows jobseekers to read the entire job description and apply for the job using the companies preferred application method. It is believed that resumes passed directly through a company career site are more visible than those transmitted through a third-party site.î

Another major difference is that GetTheJob does not host a searchable resume database; which have become spam farms for the larger job boards. ìJust post your resume to any of the larger job boards and watch the spam come rolling inî said Bob Etheridge, Marketing Director. ìIdentity theft is rampant, and searchable resume databases have become feeding grounds for identity thieves, spammers and those promising to good to be true opportunities. Jobseekers must be careful when submitting personal information.î
