Strangled By Complacency, Indifference to Job Seekers!
December 19th, 2006 by JTokarzThe Case for Relevant Job Search Results Is Validated!
The facts are clear … general search engines and legacy job boards, i.e., Monster.com, CareerBuilder.com, HotJobs.com, EmploymentGuide.com, JobALot.com, etc., have devolved into a state of complacency.
The data below from Jupiter Research affirms the need for deeper, more specific, more relevant search results.
Here’s What Users Say About General Search Engines -
- I usually refine my search with additional keywords (41.2%)
- Results are often not directly relevant to my query (41.2%)
- I find there are too many results returned (32.5%)
- I often go to more than one search engine to find the answer to my query (32.5%)
- Too many results are sponsored links (21.5%)
- I often leave a search engine without finding an answer to my query (18.0%)
Improving the search experience is no longer an option - it is essential to attracting and retaining targeted, high-value traffic.
