2017 Recruitment Advertising Annual: Indeed.com dominates recruitment sites; Google, Facebook, Microsoft muscling in

ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla., June 8, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Indeed.com has become the world's dominant recruitment advertising site, among the top three sites by traffic in 39 countries worldwide, a new AIM Group report shows.

While Indeed is dominant, its future is far from guaranteed. Facebook, Google and Microsoft are all active in recruitment classifieds; general-classified sites Craigslist, LeBonCoin and Quikr have strengthened their job categories, and thousands of niche sites capture millions of dollars in revenue as well.

Artificial intelligence, machine learning and programmatic advertising are becoming mainstream tools in recruitment advertising.

The 111-page AIM Group recruitment advertising annual for 2017, just published, includes analysis of job-site leaders in 39 countries; reviews 20 start-ups and highlights the latest innovations across the job classifieds landscape. It includes over 100 graphics and charts.

"The world hasn't gotten any easier for recruitment advertising sites like CareerBuilder, TotalJobs, StepStone and Seek," said Rob Paterson, the AIM Group director of consulting. "While Indeed has grown remarkably strong, it faces tough competition from three of the five Internet giants --- Google, Facebook and Microsoft --- and thousands of up-and-coming sites, established major- and targeted-market services, and technology tools that continue changing the face of recruitment."

The report includes:

A five-page analysis of Indeed.com, the global recruitment site owned by Recruit Holdings of Japan. It launched as a listings aggregator but is now moving aggressively into direct relationships with employers, and has a highly defensible "freemium" model. Revenues are growing exponentially.

Coverage of recent announcements by Google and Facebook about their moves into online recruitment advertising.

Five pages of reporting on LinkedIn, which was purchased last year by Microsoft, including three charts.

An analysis of the growth of artificial intelligence and machine learning  tools in recruitment.

Charts of market-leader recruitment advertising sites in 14 countries.

Overviews of 20 start-ups.
