I am not quite sure who you mean by ’specialists in the field’; my take is that job seekers (and consequently advertisers) are interested in an online environment that produces relevant results to them, period. Niche boards will aim at this by using expert knowledge of their vertical, whereas say, aggregators might rely more heavily on better search and indexing technology to ramage through the info on behalf of the user.

Concomitant to relevancy, I believe that job boards and aggregators complement each other within what I’d call the recruitment advertising ecosystem; job search engines can get you - by definition- traffic that otherwise you would not have reached; in recruit.net’s specific case, you are going to get a share of their ‘native’ traffic (people that visited the site) and that from the communities that recruit.net is syndicating job ads to via alliances, etc. In that sense, I might not be surprised if you received quality traffic from http://www.zdnetasia.com/techjobs - for example.

I think that last point is one of the pillars of recruit.net’s value proposition. and so I emphasize it when doing my word-spreading in Australia. Thanks for the visit, comment and feel free to continue the conversation

I work for Adage, a job board targeting the mature age professionals. We were launched quite recently too and have been using recruit.net for 3,4 months now.
The idea of a search engine applied to jobs is great, but specialists in the field seem to agree on the fact job seekers look for more and more specialised job boards.
So I was curious to hear your opinion about this trend, and what you planned to do to market and increase awareness for recruit.net in such a context.
