The Truth About Job Boards 👀

How Job Boards Work and Why They Matter – Plus 100 New Open Roles for Job Seekers!

Since launching the Black Tech Pipeline job board, I’ve come across the following misconceptions:

“Job boards have fake applications” or “Job postings on job boards aren’t real.”

This can happen. Some fake job boards scrape information from real job postings on legitimate sources like official job boards or company career pages. They then create lookalike postings with fraudulent applications, collecting your data for malicious purposes.

You can spot a fake job board by checking the quality of the website, lack of clear branding, absence of information about the company behind the job board, or missing contact details. Other red flags include no visible partnerships or endorsements with known hiring companies, excessive irrelevant ads, or application URLs that don’t match the company’s official domain.

Job boards asking for payment or sensitive info like social security numbers should be avoided altogether.

Additionally, legitimate companies sometimes post ‘ghost’ jobs to build a candidate pipeline for future openings or to create the appearance that they’re scaling. In some cases, these jobs are already filled or closed, but the listings stay up due to oversight.

If you’re wondering how to identify a ‘ghost job’? Truth is, you can’t, so apply anyway.

“Recruiters don’t use job boards.”

This is absolutely false.

Recruiters frequently use job boards to widen their search and streamline the sourcing process. It’s beneficial when talent comes to them, while they’re also proactively searching for the best candidates.

Beyond just receiving applications, job boards provide access to niche communities, enhance company visibility, save time, and are usually cost-effective. They also generate valuable data on job seeker behavior, helping recruiters improve their hiring strategies.

So yes, recruiters definitely use job boards.

“Never apply to jobs on job boards. Find the job on the actual company site and apply there.”

While applying directly on company sites is fine, it might not always be the best move.

Companies partner with legitimate job boards to promote their openings to broader and more diverse audiences. They use tracking links to identify applicants coming from specific job boards, which helps them assess the effectiveness of these partnerships.

For example, companies that work with Black Tech Pipeline want to diversify their applicant pool by attracting Black tech talent through our platform. They use unique tracking tags on their job postings with us, allowing them to see which applicants come from Black Tech Pipeline. Applications from our platform normally land in specialized filters within these companies ATS, making it easier for them to identify diverse candidates rather than navigating through general filters often dominated by cis white men. This is normally the benefit of applying through any niche job board.

Additionally, when applicants click ‘apply’ on our site, it shows engagement and drives a continued partnership between us and these companies, benefiting both our platform and the job seekers we serve.

In conclusion, it’s perfectly fine to apply directly on company websites, especially if you suspect a job board is fake. However, if you’re using a legitimate job board, especially a niche one, know that companies prefer you apply through it to streamline the review process and support their goals of building a diverse talent pool.
