   Business model aims at employers

   It's easy to think that job sites are there for your benefit as a job seeker, but their point is to make it efficient for employers to fill vacancies. The two don't mean the same thing, which is why some seekers feel the sites are useless while employers continue to fund the growth of the sector - it yields results for them.

   really you just use the job sites to see what jobs are available and then apply to the agents directly. It's the only way to go in the UK

   HR managers disagree

   According to http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/67/34874.html only 5% of HR managers in the U.K. use on-line recruiting now because of the low signal-to-noise ratio.

   10% sounds right

   Based on my unscientific observation of everyone I knew that lost their jobs during the U.S. tech bust (including all 42 at the start-up I was at), I would say 10% sounds about right for people who found jobs on-line (including myself). Of course HOW LONG it took to find and land that job on-line is another story.
