Trends to Watch for in Job Search - The Career Doctor Blog

The Career Doctor responds:

Here are the trends I see:

  • Gravitation of job search and recruiting to mobile devices.
  • Social-media sites as the future of job search and recruiting, largely because they are less expensive for employers. Employers can learn more about candidates and find candidates that are qualified for the job more effectively through social media than through job boards.
  • Sites that offer tools to aid in the job search, such as sites where you can build your resume or manage your job search.
  • No more job boards — or a very different incarnation of job boards than what we see today (in the next 5-10 years).
