eQuest is a different kind of online tool for human resource professionals. There are no job listings there; no quick or advanced search involving career criteria such as job description, location or desired minimum salary; you won’t find e-newsletter sign-ups or message board forums there. In fact, eQuest has virtually none of the kinds of functionality that one tends to see at the most popular job board sites.

What it has, however, is the ability to use all of the other job board sites to your advantage.

Essentially what eQuest offers is the ability for human resource departments and recruitment professionals to post their company’s available job listings to multiple online job boards all at once, thereby eliminating the need to visit multiple sites re-enter information multiple times and pay multiple vendors for essentially the same service. According to the site, eQuest manages the flow of job-posting transactions to more than 1,000 unique job boards and reaches more than 200 countries and territories worldwide daily.

And eQuest offers additional tools besides simply posting your company’s job listings on multiple sites. eQuest will also track those sites for you, providing detailed analytics in terms of where candidates are finding your listings, where they’re clicking when they find them, and which job sites are working best to bring you serious, qualified job candidates.

Ultimately, eQuest provides a fairly specialized service for a specific clientele; but it’s simple to see how a large corporation with many open job assignments at any given time would be able to realize savings of time and money by taking advantage of eQuest’s services.
