In today's fast-paced job market, job boards play a pivotal role in connecting candidates with their next opportunity. However, as technology evolves, not all job boards offer the same value. Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the way we search for jobs, making it crucial to regularly review your choice of job boards to ensure they are working for you, not against you.


As someone who has been both a candidate and a Talent Acquisition professional, I’ve seen firsthand how the wrong job board can lead to wasted time and missed opportunities. That’s why I regularly review job boards through the lens of a candidate, ensuring they provide the tools necessary for success in today’s competitive market.


​​Here are the top 3 must-have features that every job seeker should prioritise in a modern job board to maximise success:


1 -  Automatic Cover Letter Writer: (Creating tailored cover letters for each job application can be time-consuming, but essential. A job board with an automatic cover letter writer helps you craft professional, customised letters quickly, allowing you to focus on finding the right roles rather than getting bogged down in admin work)


2 -  Direct Company Jobs vs. Agency Jobs: (Targeting direct company jobs first often results in faster responses and clearer communication with employers. Having a job board that easily filters direct listings saves you time and helps you connect with companies that align with your goals and values)


3 -  Interview Practice Feature: (Interview preparation is key to landing your next role. Some job boards now offer interview practice tools, helping you simulate real-world questions and get feedback. This is an invaluable resource to gain confidence and perform better during actual interviews)
