MONSTER.COM COMPARISON

Monster.Com vs JobSluth.com
There is a lot of online recruitment services available that help organizations obtain
qualified applicants. I have viewed many of these in the past and the two that seem to be
the most user friendly are http://monster.com and http://jobsluth.com. They are large and
seem to have the largest postings of jobs. They are similar but have many differences
that may make deciding which one to go to very clear. I feel that monster.com is the most
convenient of the two which will be evident in the information provided. 
There are four advantages to monster.com that I feel are the most important
characteristic of this service. The first is the convenience of sending your resume
through the Internet both by using monster.com resume builder but also by using a word
document file. Jobsluth only allows for you to use word documents to send your resume
over the Internet. I feel the search agent is the second thing that makes these
convenient. The search agents are the same except for the e-mail that is sent to retrieve
the data. The e-mail that Jobsluth sends out does not have a link directly to the
information the search agent retrieved and monster.com does. The third area that is
important is the number of employers in the area looking at applicants on the site. That
data is unknown but when a search using the same criteria was done on each site for
Oklahoma the job posting's on monster.com had twice the postings than jobsluth.com. I see
no disadvantages to using monster.com verses using jobsluth. 
As an employer there is several things to look at when choosing a site. The things I
could think of are cost and availability to the site and the amount of employees that are
registered at the site. The cost and availability are not available information but given
that the monster.com site is more convenient and easily accessible to the potential
employees and allows more people to post there resume by using a resume builder it would
seem to be the best choice.
The last thing to cover is the pros and cons of the virtual resume's. This seems to be a
mute point in my opinion. The purpose of the resume is to obtain information for
consideration of one person over another for a position. This is the starting point of
the process. If the person lies on his or her virtual resume he or she will lie when
giving a printed resume. The virtual resume allows you to get it faster and weed out
those that do not qualify. It also allows you to obtain more applicants for the
position's available. If there were only one online recruitment service you could use,
the one I would recommend would be monster.com. Overall these services are great to use
and beneficial to both the employee and the employer. This is a great recourse tool and
will continue to be frequently used in the future.
