Physics Today Jobs Named a Top 100 Job Board

WEDDLE’s, world’s largest publisher of print guides to job boards, includes Physics Today Jobs in the elite of the online employment services industry.

Physics Today Jobs is pleased to announce that WEDDLE’s LLC, the world’s largest publisher of print guides to the 100,000+ job boards now operating on the Internet, has selected it as a Top 100 site. Called the “Zagat” of the online employment industry by the American Staffing Association, WEDDLE’s released its selections in conjunction with the publication of its 2009/10 Guide to Employment Sites on the Internet.

Why should job seekers, employers, and recruiters care about this news?

In a recent survey of 17,000+ working men and women, using a job board was identified as the single best way to find a job in today’s tough environment. Over one-third of the respondents said they found their last job on a job board—more than four times greater than the next highest response—and almost two-thirds said they expected to find their next job that way.
In the same survey, eight-out-of-ten employers said that new hires sourced online were among their best employees. For that reason, over a third of the respondents were filling half of their openings through job boards and over a quarter were actually filling three-quarters of their vacancies that way.

“Our Top 100 employment sites are the elite of the job board industry,” says WEDDLE’s Publisher Peter Weddle. “They have the strongest brands, the best services and the most distinguished track records of the sites we’ve seen on the Web. Are there other good sites out there? Of course. But the Top 100 selectees are truly in a class of their own.”

The site selection methodology included a comprehensive review of information submitted by the sites describing their features, services and fees as well as information provided by job seekers, employers and recruiters who have used the site. In addition, each site was visited to assess its user experience and level of maintenance.

The Physics Today Career Network (PTCN) is a niche job board network operated by the American Institute of Physics (AIP) for the physical science, engineering, and computing disciplines. PTCN is comprised of the Physics Today print magazine classifieds and online job board, as well as four AIP-affiliated career centers – the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT), the American Physical Society (APS), AVS: Science and Technology of Materials, Interfaces, and Processing, and the IEEE Computer Society.
