Top 100 Job Board
Stamford, CT. Showbizjobs.com is pleased to announce that WEDDLE’s LLC, the world’s largest publisher of print guides to the 100,000+ job boards now operating on the Internet, has selected it as a Top 100 site. Called the “Zagat” of the online employment industry by the American Staffing Association, WEDDLE’s released its selections in conjunction with the publication of its 2009/10 Guide to Employment Sites on the Internet.
Why should job seekers and recruiters care about this news? Because job boards work.

The challenge for working men and women and employers alike is figuring out which sites to use. The Top 100 list is one way to do that. The Guide describes each site in the Top 100 with a detailed profile of its services, features and fees for both job seekers and employers. It also includes a directory of over 10,000 other job boards organized by career field, industry and geographic focus.
“Our Top 100 employment sites are the elite of the job board industry,” says WEDDLE’s Publisher Peter Weddle. “They have the strongest brands, the best services and the most distinguished track records of the sites we’ve seen on the Web. Are there other good sites out there? Of course. But the Top 100 selectees are truly in a class of their own.”
“For over 14 years we have been building our brand to serve the Entertainment / Media industry and are happy to be recognized by the Weddle organization as a Top 100 board,” says Showbizjobs founder Paul Buss. “While there are many outlet choices for recruiters to make, Showbizjobs continues to be a powerful source for quality candidates for our clients.”
The site selection methodology included a comprehensive review of information submitted by the sites describing their features, services and fees as well as information provided by job seekers, employers and recruiters who have used the site. In addition, each site was visited to assess its user experience and level of maintenance.
