DISQUS

Good article on the whole. When I was doing the job search thing after college and then after law school I found the exact same thing: all the big job sites were worthless and filled with job spam, and temp agencies. The descriptions were meaningless and designed for people to self-select out, to artificially limit the number of resumes they would receive. The two most promising prospects (and the job I am currently working at) were posted on a headhunter's site and on craigslist. I took the job on craigslist. Cragislist seemed to have the most "real" job postings as opposed to Monster which had the fewest. Most were just recruiters/temp agencies looking for suits to stock their stables. NOT what any real job-seeker is looking for. The job website paradigm is definitely broken. This would be a great realm for web2.0 services to intervene I think. Tagging jobs by candidates could really help to weed out the cruft I would imagine.
