eQuest to Release 2008 Job Board Candidate Traffic Patterns and Statistics in Official Report

eQuest, which manages job posting deliveries for more than 20,000 companies worldwide, announced today that it will be releasing its annual report on 'Top Performing Job Boards' at the end of February 2009.

The report provides an objective analysis of aggregated metrics captured by eQuest's advanced performance tracking technology. eQuest follows its domestic and international customers' job postings to hundreds of global job boards; collects the candidate traffic measurements; and translates all collected data into meaningful statistics.

Objective advertising trends, especially in today's economy, are badly needed as companies seek ways to allocate their recruitment advertising dollars to the most effective job boards, said Mike Pauletich, Sr. Vice President of eQuest Media. Much like Nielson ratings, eQuest will publish its findings based on how well job boards attract viewers in a variety of areas including job classification, job title, industry and location. eQuest is uniquely positioned to capture this data on a global basis.

The results are based on all posting and response activity from 1 January 2008 through 31 December 2008. The report will be available for purchase, but is available to eQuest Media customers at no charge.

The report is scheduled for release on February 27, 2009.
