My experience with Job hunting thru online Job portals has been disastrous. In my case, its always been a placement consultant who has contacted me after going thru my profile on these sites and never a Company directly. Aren’t the Job Portals supposed to directly connect the seeker with the company recruiter?
This brings me to the other method of reaching the company directly online. The career’s section of Company Websites. My own company has the worst careers section I have ever seen. I don’t think it has been updates ever since I joined the company (which has been long). Leave alone a slow technology adopting companies like mine, some of the best online companies out there suck as far as their careers section go!
Check this section on Yahoo! India, which shows how proactive they are in looking at online applications.
