Vertical Job Search Engines in Canada

Job seekers can search jobs from traditional job boards, there are lost of such services available in the market. As of July 2009 and according to comScore Media Metrix, the most visited job boards were CareerBuilder, Yahoo! HotJobs, and Monster.com.

But there is another kind of job search service called vertical job search engines, which collect results from multiple independent job boards. Some of these new search engines primarily index traditional job boards. These sites aim to provide a "one-stop shop" for job-seekers who don't need to search the underlying job boards. In 2006, tensions developed between the job boards and several scraper sites, with Craigslist banning scrapers from its job classifieds and Monster.com specifically banning scrapers through its adoption of a robots exclusion standard on all its pages while others have embraced them.

Other job search engines index pages only from employers' websites, such as LinkUp, Hound, and Eluta.ca choosing to bypass traditional job boards entirely. These vertical search engines allow jobseekers to find new positions that may not be advertised on the traditional job boards.

Today, some popular vertical job search engines are used in Canada, e.g. Careerjet, Simplyhired, Indeed, Eluta, Wowjobs and so on.
