How to identify Good job boards?

Today when i was doing google search on word"Job Board" i was able to search results of different job boards on general and specific boards meeting the needs of industry,while this i was thinking backwards 10 yrs ago the job boards are few and costly and we always want to utilize the job posting effectively because every posting cost a dime and my boss looks red face when he doesn't see any output on the job posting,so we carefully coin words in job posting ,research on job description,giving attractive subject line so to attract potential talent,i remember myself spent lot of time in researching for job description as it is one tool which attracts passive talent,triggers non looker for job to admire for job ...It was fun and exciting those times ..

Now seeing lot of job boards catering to every single soul on the planet for jobs /looking for jobs ,but the question comes to me how much board are we to subscribe ,it is million boards and being recruiter needs to do thorough analyze on job boards befor buying it. It all looks attrative but once starts using it whether it is boon  or bane need to checked

I figured some points on identitying job board where i ran through my thoughts ,let me share your points as well for the benefit of recruiting life

1) Look and Feel :
  A board which has clean design without too many pop ups and easy navigation of the web

2) Is if recruiter friendly :
  I seen some job board where it takes million pages to do a job posting asking hundred questions rather it is friendly to give contact details of recruiter and make it KISS process(Keep it Short and Simple)

3)Search Capabilities:
  Is the job board able to understand search strings and share results most matching rather than throwing   garbage

4) Connected to Social Media :
   Today most boards give details of passive candidates connected with linkedin and other social media
network,do need to validate the board is it connected any of social media networks

5) Job Posting is simple :
 Also need to check the job posting process is simple where boards have complicated process of posting which takes almost half hour to complete which is not healthy job board ,best to drop the job boards

6) Job Board Life :
   Check how long the job board ,more the oldness of board it is better to invest as it understand recruitment   business well

How are we utilizing Reference as part of Recruitment

We all take /use references at every point of our recruitment cycle, not mandatory some times reference works most times reference may not be suitable on the requirements we handle.. But we always keep it aside , one option is try to connect them on LinkedIn  and keep them share your opportunities to them or message them on LinkedIn when possible .. i always use it for niche skills hiring /Leadership hiring.... Please dont expect immediate results but once you get profile you dont need to worry that he/she will join and not to worry about caliber of the  profile as he /she will recommend the person he is trust worthy  and on the disclaimer sense some people wont join due to valid or genuine reasons that you could always write too.. When doing Background checks, that is huge pool of data we miss , is better to take details of their reporting managers and maintain separate pool , it is not wrong but wise way of working through challenging positions it sure to help ....

SIMPLE BOOLEAN SEARCH FOR TECHNICAL RECRUITERS

This Boolean search strategies is being offered for free to enable technical recruiters to more effectively mine the Monster resume databases. CAUTION: The concepts below also apply to other databases, but NOT all Boolean search engines were created equally. Some require that AND/OR be in all caps (Monster do not). Some don’t even use ‘and/or’, but use ‘+/-’ instead. I need to really stress this point, I. THE ROLE OF PARENTHESES IN BOOLEAN SEARCHES It makes a difference how you group the numbers below by putting in parentheses: 1+2x2=$5 million? $6 million? 1+(2x2)=5 Here we did the “multiply” first, and then the “add”…..Multiply is similar to “and” (1+2)x2=6 Here we did the “add” first, and then the multiply. ”Addition” is similar to “or” Parentheses will help us group search terms for effective searches II.
