Another job board?? I hear you. There are plenty of job boards in Australia, other than the big couple there are several others who want to take their place. Some of the hot new boards can be seen as JobTree supporters on the home page. So why would I create a new job board? Because the people are pleading for it.

JobTree is aimed squarely at technical people using Microsoft technologies and these people have real frustrations with some sites.

• Searching is hard. Every time I see a new job board I type in C# in the search field. At least 50% of the time the search fails because of the inability of the search engine to cope with non text characters.
• Agency infestation. Most of the big boards have at least 90% of the ads submitted by agencies. IT people hate these gate keepers, not even knowing if they are applying for a real job. JobTree wont turn agencies away, but there will be benefits for companies advertising directly.
• Price. How can agents afford to place so many ads when it costs us so much on the majors? Because they are only paying 20% of what we pay for the same ad.
• When a site is getting new 500 jobs a day in your category, your job ad is soon lost in the traffic. Australia's biggest job board is encouraging people to re-place their advertisement every few days to get it back to the top of the list. Good news for them, bad news for your wallet.
• New sites often make a big splash, but often are getting only a couple of new jobs a day. Hardly compelling you to revisit.

Everything about JobTree is aimed at techies and developers.

• If a company advertises directly, it will be featured on the home page and top of the search results.
• Value adds for tech people like user group updates and promotions.
• Less than half the price of some other boards, and even less again if you ask your user group for a promo code.
• 1000's of ads from the JobTree supporter sites means there is always reason to come back.
