How to get your Jobs Listed on Job Aggegation websites

One of the most effective IT recruitment strategies is to get your jobs listed on Job Aggregation websites. They can provide excellent visibility for your jobs posts and thereby helping you to locate interested local talent that can make a difference to your recruiting efforts.

What are the Job Aggregation Websites?

The aggregation websites crawl job openings of leading companies, job boards and trusted feeds from leading recruitment agencies and present those in front of job seekers in searchable format.

If you have a well written / interesting job post then it will attract attention of job seekers. This can make a huge difference in your recruiting efforts.
