25 Top Career Portals

In the recent CareerXroads' Candidate Experience White Paper, Gerry Crispin and Mark Mehler look at the career portals of the Fortune Top 500 companies and rate them based on their ability to attract talent and showcase their employer brand. Out of the 500 company career portals reviewed, the white paper states that less than 20% create an outstanding experience for someone seeking information on career opportunities with the company.

1. Are you looking for me?
2. Why should I come here?
3. Why should I stay?
4. Is this information believable?
5. Will you keep me informed of my candidate status or other appropriate opportunities?
