About Jobing.com: Press Room

WEDDLE’s, the largest publisher of print guides to job boards, announced the winners of its 2008 User’s Choice Awards and has named Jobing.com as one of the elite of the online employment industry.  This marks the third year Jobing.com has been selected for the honor.  WEDDLE’s awards are the only recognition in the global online employment services industry where actual users—job seekers, employers and recruiters—get to pick the winners.  The 2008 Awards are sponsored by Bernard Hodes Group, a leading provider of integrated talent solutions.

“In today’s challenging job market, it’s important to know the All Stars of the job board community.  That’s what these 2008 User’s Choice Awards winners represent,” said WEDDLE’s Publisher Peter Weddle.  “Equally as important, they haven’t been selected by a panel of pundits, but by the working men and women who use those sites to find jobs and hire new employees.”

“We are delighted to once again be named a WEDDLE’s award winner,” said Jobing.com CEO and Founder Aaron Matos.  “Our focus at Jobing has always been to provide the forum, resources, and technology to connect people with local employers so they can have a successful job search.  It is an honor that our users have selected us as an elite site and acknowledges the hard work and dedication of the talented staff at Jobing.com.”

According to Weddle, there are now over 40,000 employment-related sites operating in the U.S. alone and an equal number operating elsewhere around the world.  They include stand alone enterprises and sites affiliated with newspapers and trade publications, professional associations and societies, college and trade school alumni organizations, radio and television stations, and a wide array of affinity groups.  Like the Zagat™ restaurant guides, WEDDLE’s publications and its annual User’s Choice Awards help consumers make smart selections among all of those options.
 
Each year, the public is invited to visit the WEDDLE’s website and cast their ballots for their favorite job boards.  The thirty sites with the most votes at the end of the year are declared the User’s Choice Award winners.  

“Although it is not a scientific survey, the poll reflects the intensity of support sites enjoy among job seekers, employers and recruiters alike.” Weddle said.  “A person has to take the time and make the effort to participate in the balloting, so those that do feel strongly about the sites they select.”
