Breaking Down Todays' New Job Market
The current U.S. job market can be broken into six segments. Four represent released openings which can now be reviewed through the Internet-if you know how to find them. In any month, more than 1,500,000 jobs, 50 percent of all the jobs that will be filled at a professional or executive level are available in these four segments. Collectively, these are often referred to as the published job market. The other two segments represent private openings in what we call the unpublished job market.

      When you enter our private website, you can find a wealth of information-over a million and a half job openings and more- all in one place. With our connections to job openings 24 hours a day, you can save weeks and even months of job hunting. Let's briefly review each of the market segments.

      (1) The direct-to- employer job market. This market was not accessible until a few years ago, but 94 percent of major corporations now hire this way. Every day, more and more smaller employers are also posting openings on their websites. Why? The reason is economics. Recruiting is expensive, and this is the most affordable way to fill a position. With our website, you can instantly access employers with openings.

      (2) The job market through professional job banks. Also referred to as job boards or e'cruiters, some specialize in foreign countries, others in industries. Others specialize by level. Through our private website, you can now instantly access openings directly from any of the top 1,000 job bank organizations.

      (3) The recruiter job market. In the past, openings available through recruiters could not be reviewed. Today, thousands of recruiters list jobs on their websites. Through our private website, you can access recruiter openings from thousands of firms online.

      (4) The advertised job market. This is a large market, and more accessible than ever. Approximately 1,100 major newspapers and over 1,000 major magazines are instantly available at the touch of a button.

      (5) The unpublished job market through expanding companies. Historically, identifying growth firms took weeks of library work. Now, we enable you to instantly access them throughout the U.S. You can pinpoint firms with record sales or profits; those receiving new capital; firms with planned expansions, and so on.

      (6) The unpublished job market through contacts. To access this market, you can take advantage of databases we maintain on high-tech firms, associations, growth companies, service firms, manufacturers, executives by college attended, small businesses, etc.
