Job search 2.0 the longtail
Today I did a little research in jobsites, and found out that even the TechCrunch empire has it’s own job board now. Also I found some blog’s being centered on the theme of jobsearch2.0 and social job search.
I will give you a small list of the things I found today
Long tail Job boards
There is a difference between job sites and job boards; Job boards are narrow targeted, have only a few jobs, and are only known for insiders. Job sites are planning to get as much jobs and employee’s as possible. It’s all about the long tail again 
TechCrunch CrunchBoard
37Signals 37signals Job Board
Problogger Job Board
GigaOm GigaOm Jobs
BuildV1 BuildV1 jobs
Three Hug.. ThreeHugger Jobs
CSS Beauty CSS Beauty Jobs
PaidContent Jobs | PaidContent
Gawker Gawker.com/jobs
NextNY NextNY Jobs
Salon Salon Jobs
Meta Job search
Workcircle.com Uk based social job search (web2.0 feeling)
Jobster.com I found this innovative jobboard that just deserved a blogpost
Job Board (home made) covering feeds from GigaOM, 37Signals and CrunchBoard and more
JobBoard (home made) covering 6 feeds sorted by date (and gives one meta RSS Feed to cover them all)
Software to run a job board
JobThread
Ekwipment (still in closed beta)
Blogs about Job search
BuildV1 blog
Interactive Recruitment Marketing
Jobster blog
LA Job Posting
Interesting posts
These three bloggers want to get you a job
Jobs Boards: A shotgun or a rifle?
Monster Worldwide Threatened By Niche Jobs Boards
The Real Lesson Behind the Job Board Proliferation
Well enough going on to feel that it’s a good idea to release a concept for a social freelance job search / job find site.
If i missed any job boards or blogs please add them in my comments, thanks!

Great Post - There are many job boards out there that are so specialized that most people would never see them - this is exactly the point of the niche blogger and is what makes the Long Tail argument so persuasive.

Interesting about http://www.itjobfeed.com is that they are completely free, as opposed to being directed by the larger job boards feeds, there picking up lots of ITjobs from minority sectors- such as academia, cahraity etc
