Job Boarders: New social network for job boards and their employees

Workers from the estimated 40,000 online job boards now have their own social networking site.

Workers from the estimated 40,000 online job boards now have their own social networking site. It's called JobBoarders.com. The site is powered by Ning's social network technology.

Started by veteran job board owner Chris Russell, President of AllCountyJobs.com LLC, the site aims to create a community among the vast array of employment web site professionals. Users can post press releases, create their own groups, upload videos or just meet other job board people.

The job board community is such a diverse and dynamic group of professionals and entrepreneurs that I wanted to give them an online forum, says Russell. We get to meet each other at industry events but nothing existed online for us to continue our relationships. JobBoarders.com solves that problem.

Online job boards employ more than 100,000 people across the globe. By some estimates there are more than 40,000 sites dedicated to jobs and new ones are launching everyday. Russell himself, owns more than a dozen of them.

JobBoarders.com is free to join and open to all types of job boards and their employees.
