There are many job boards available providing different types of services. You’ll find that posting to the larger job board sites will get you a lot of response, but it won’t be specified responses. The large job boards are best for the type of work that does not require a specific skill set. You’ll get a wide range of responses from the CareerBuilder and Monster type of boards, but If you are looking for a very specific type of person/profile, you can find yourself spending a lot of time trying to sift through the abundance of resumes that flood your way. It can be overwhelming and I’ve found myself spending so much time sifting through unqualified resumes that I eventually stop opening the emails. If you’re looking for a specific skill set, I would suggest first starting with a smaller, industry specific site. You’ll have less response but the replies you do get will be more in line with the experience you seek.
