We advertise on several job boards which are linked to the company's own website. Here there are additional job postings along with info on the company and community in which we are located. Obviously, some sites are more productive than others, however, in general, we have enjoyed a reasonable amount of success.
We recently began advertising with a few sites... Monster.com, Jobs.com, and a few industry-specific sites, and are very pleased with the initial response. The ad cost/hire is significantly better than with our major market newspaper ads.
any tips on how best to draft a job search on one of these sites? is there a mother of all sites where you can find,say,a link to a site that allows you to advertise for unique skills? any ideas on the quality of applicants from the sites vs. other means of recruiting?
Do employers have a problem with employees looking for new jobs on the web or using the web to see what the competition is paying? I know I have looked at law related websites, and most of them have a job list. I will usually browse it, even though I'm not looking for a job. So even if your employee is doing legitimate work for you by going to a web site related to his job, he can be inticed to look at the job postings.

Jobtrack and Monster.com are both easy to navigate and provide enough candidates to justify the cost.
