Interesting. Thanks! While many do pull from the big sites (that's their revenue model... PPC/affiliate clicks to paid postings) Indeed and SimplyHired and Glassdoor often (not always) have direct feeds to corporate boards which, themselves might be behind. It is the case (although I don't have evidence) that if a site like indeed can validate that a posting direct from a corporate website is the same as a paid posting from monster or dice, they may downplay the free posting and up level the paid posting in order to make a few cents on the click. I would do that if I was indeed.com. LinkedIn jobs are PAID unless they are in networking groups or someone's status message they might scrape for inventory, but if it's a legit posting with contact info for who posted the job (mid-right side, above the fold) then someone manually pushed that into LinkedIn, so you could take it as "live". In linkedin, you could "follow" a company for RealTime alerts to new opptys. Urls are usually linkedin.com/company/<company_name> such as http://linkedin.com/company/fusionio (incidental #shamelessplug) /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
