A few weeks back I was rambling about aggregation becoming a viable business. Just got a job alert from recruit.net, prompting me to a job ad summary which is wrapped with a few useful links outside the site – company lookup on search engines, contact search on professional networks – as well as the recruit.net home-brewed job trends. Job seekers in EU and the US have seen similar links on vertical search engines focused on their markets for quite some time; the local hunter can now enjoy the same functionality.

Technically, the implementation may be replicated rapidly, though it seems to me that this is one of the value-add areas for aggregators: increasing relevance and ease of access to collated results. In that context, How do job boards and corporate career websites fit in the value chain? Do they focus on employment branding? niche community nurturing? ATS services? non-classified ancillary businesses to increase their candidate sourcing capabilities?
