LinkedIn for Jobs
LinkedIn has launched a fantastic new service for jobs, called LinkedIn Jobs. It is free for job seekers, and reasonably priced for job posters.
The service is different from other job sites because it shows you how the job poster and job responder are connected in the LinkedIn community. For job responders, you don't look like just another applicant. Instead, you get endorsed by people you know who are ultimately connected to the hiring manager or recruiter. So by the time they see your response, they have a good idea whether you might be a good match.
The service is growing quickly, and for good reason. I know of several startups who have said that LinkedIn was by far the best source of applicants they found.
