We did an interesting survey as a part of the ongoing preparation for the 2002 Electronic Recruiting Index (coming in January). Trying to get our arms around the question "How many job boards are there?", we surveyed the ins and outs of six American Metropolitan Areas. Picked for variation in size, density, technical percolation and regionality, we believe that the metropolitan areas demonstrate the characteristics of the regional Job Board market.

The relatively low barriers to entry, limited capital requirements and logical fit into a variety of media properties make the Regional Job Board business a permanent and rapidly growing face of the Electronic Recruiting Industry. We tried to exclude from our research any observable national branding but we did count the players who are powered by the 20 or so providers of job board services. The results were surprising.

Last year, we pegged the number at under 4,000 operations. That means that in the intervening year, the number of regional operations have more than doubled in what has been a difficult season.

We don't believe the industry is contracting.
