I based my provocative headline on what recruiting experts said at conferences. Our QuintCareers annual reports are based on secondary research; they are a compilation and synthesis of reporting from other sources. In essence, I merely reported what others were saying about job boards. You make good points.

Or at least the job boards that will make it are evolving. When the world was ruled by CB and Monster, those two behemoths basically represented the market. Now, perhaps because employers and job seekers are calling for them, or perhaps because it's the best way to chip away at the big boards' market share, job boards are getting more "niche" oriented. Dice is a good example of a vertical in the IT space, and more and more job boards in specific industries or geographic regions (or both) are, collectively, creating a sort of paradigm shift in the job board "space."

Frustrated by the lack of quality results and options (not to mention large expense) of the bigger job boards, I eventually quit using them - resorting to my Google-fu instead. That's what lead me to the decision to do something new and truly useful. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out. JobShouts.com is gaining rapid national attention for its innovation. We've been featured in newspapers all over the country, countless blogs and on FOX news (nationally).
