A New, Trusted Source to Help You Find Jobs and Connect with Employers (Jobs‪)‬

Finding and competing for employment opportunities in today's job market is extremely challenging for entry-level job seekers. It doesn't take new job seekers long to discover that the sprawl of jobs sites can sometimes make finding and winning their dream job harder still. Bogus job postings, stale postings, identical opportunities posted in duplicate or cross-posted on multiple sites--all of these can add up to frustrating dead ends and lost opportunities. DirectEmployers Association, which is owned and managed by over 550 leading employers through a nonprofit employer trade association, has formulated an interesting plan to build and develop the .jobs Top Level Domain (TLD) for the human resource (HR) community, which includes college recruiters. The Association's plan will greatly improve labor market efficiency and make it much easier for entry-level job seekers--particularly students--to find employment opportunities and connect with employers. The new .jobs project aims to bring order to the Babel of online recruitment and connect employers with job seekers in a more efficient manner. The Association, which maintains alliances with both the National Association of Colleges and Employers and the American Association of Community Colleges for college recruiting, has a stated mission "to provide employers an employment network that is cost-effective, improves labor market efficiency, and reaches an ethnically diverse national and international workforce." It has proposed the build-out of the .jobs TLD in a manner that is consistent with its mission and in response to a Request for Proposal by Employ Media, the domain's licensee and registry operator.
