Poll: JobStreet vs. JobsDB

Haven’t been to any job site in over 4 years now so the last time I had a discussion about them, I was a bit clueless of their current status. I thought maybe I can just ask my readers here what they think of the top two.

There were a lot of paid job sites back in the early days of the net. I specifically remembered Trabaho.com because it’s where I landed my very first job in 2000.

jobsdb jobstreet

Today, it looks like only two paid job sites remain active — JobsDB and JobStreet. The fact that these two are part of regional job site may have helped them survived the paid world of online services.

Which of the two is better? Which one do you use more?

I’ve added the new poll on the sidebar for you to cast your vote or you can also share your comments below.

  1. yoki says:

    based on a 2009 study made by our group, we’ve found out that though jobstreet overshoots jobsdb when it comes to local listings of both jobseekers and employers…

    both lose their credibility at finding appropriate jobs for applicants since most employers (except for the bpo industry) prefer walk-in applications more than those submitted through jobstreet or jobsdb.

    to quote one employer “applications made through these sites are bothersome to read.”

    and it was also found out that companies prefer applicants who are more physically appealing despite the presence of applicants with better academic and professional records.

  2. Jp says:

    you may also visit http://www.JobsPursuit.com It’s a new online job portal set to take over the needs of jobseekers. visit the website and sign up now!

  3. TechJobs.com.ph says:

    Both sites surely have their own strengths. Choice is good as it allows consumers to get the best.

    Regards,

    TechJobs.com.ph
    No mess. Just jobs.

  4. Bummer says:

    JobStreet is more user-friendly. Let’s not argue, it’s the number one online job portal in the Phils.

    But then JobsDB rules in more countries across Asia. And I think they have also conquered Australia and the US.

  5. Interviewer says:

    http://www.philjobspot.com seems growing really fast, considering it was just launched Jan 4, 2010, according to their site.

  6. Paul Jake says:

    For me JobStreet is the best

    I also find this one very promising, the site says that it was just launched Jan, 2010

  19. toink says:

    who cares to be in the jobsdb jobseeker?

    JOBSDB is the best for me dahil pag maramin ang tourismo marami din ang trabaho. Pag may problema ang mga tao sa paghahanap ng tao maraming trabaho sa jobsdb. okay! Gusto ko talaga sa jobsdb oi. kay maganda ang mga work doon at marami kang choices like sa akin i don’t know kung saan ako pipili sa company na nagtawag sa akin..okiks.

    Just be friend to anyone okay girls and boys

  20. lol says:

    uhuh…ur a jobstreet people. Well, jobsdb is the no.1 career portal in asia pacific. I salute for jobsdb coz they have the quality service rather than the quantity of amount in money. The more expensive of jobsdb the more high quality!

  21. On the fence says:

    Oh my gosh, it’s so obvious that JobsDB people are spamming this entry by discrediting Jobstreet! Comeon, the entries are posted minutes apart from each other with most sentences starting with “for me… ” lol! Plus, the comments have no content and is CLEARLY from one or two persons only!

    I’m just a normal jobseeker looking for the right website to go to and want a more fair view of both services, but clearly jobsdb look a little insecure :P More comments with content that helps please!

  22. biscuit? guess who... says:

    what i prefer most is JOBSDB. before, i actually member of both sites but now i sticked only for the best….. jobsDB.com.
    only jobsdb gave me the opportunity to work after i graduated… thanks for them, coz now im enjoying my life doing paper works hahaha though its kinda difficult but i liked it. hard to adjust myself at work but im trying the best that i can EVERYDAY…

    its not about the site guys, just go for what you think have the best for you.. what you think can give you the best is more important… and can serve us and give us the right job that is fit for you…

  23. kogmohon says:

    being kogmohon person..i love jobsdb coz its very effective and the way of people are close to every companies…they are very generous to other companies too!

  31. pangz14 says:

    Money wise may we just say Jobstreet. Pero Quality and Career wise kay Jobsdb ako.. Just that simple.
    As an HR Consultant for 6 yrs. naexperienced ko na kumuha ng subscription kay Jobstreet kc sobrang Cheap pero i didnt get the right candidate. Nauubos ang oras ko kay Jobstreet. Unlike Jobsdb mejo higher ang price but the thing is i got a lot of candidate that matches my openings as in Quality Candidates and they have a great aftersale service mula umpisa at kahit tapos na subscription mo, as in hustle free..

  32. kurdapyo says:

    naka bintaha gyud ang serbisyo sa JOBSDB, mas nindot sila mo dala ug clients, naka try naman pud ko sa serbisyo sa jobstreet pero medyo dili sosama ka nindot sa jobsdb. nakakita ko ug work gud pina agi sa pag search sa jobsdb ug pag padala nila ug job alert, im from bohol ug naka kita ko ug work sa cebu tungod sa tabang sa jobsdb… mao saludo ko sa taga JOBSDB.COM

  36. retrochiq says:

    before graduating in college i already started looking for a job..and maybe because of the popularity of jobstreet i immediately logged in to it but to my surprised i havent heard any job alert that is related to what i have finished so then my cousin introduced to me jobsdb..
    so i created my account there and i immediately got job alerts that is related to what i have finished.
    i even enjoyed the comfort of using their career card an electronic resume card..
    so in other words and much further a do i deeply support JOBSDB. :)

  37. MarkBeltran says:

    I vote for JobsDB just because of the quality of jobs they offer, not that they only offer jobs, they also make sure that jobs offered are fit for the one you are looking for.

    As for Jobstreet… Mailing system is one hassle system to use… Not to mention website is really a bugger to use.

  38. greenwitch says:

    I can say that JobsDB is the best job search engine. Try to go to their website and you can see that it is more user friendly. You can easily browse job listings. And there are many many jobs there.

  41. ako says:

    I’m a member of both portals but I got a job through JobsDB in just 2 months as compared to the 9 months with Jobstreet….

    Very user friendly ang JOBSDB..Very updated sila when it comes to job opportunities and very mabilis pa ang response. Jobsdb is more professional than Jobstreet. Naiirita nga ako sa Jobstreet kasi it keeps on sending me emails about jobs that I dont even care of. Actually puro jobstreet na ang laman ng isang email ko..Go for JOBSDB.

  53. Ben Bukaneg says:

    Pareho naman nakakatulong ang dalawang websayts sa mga aplikanteng pilipino. Na sa kabuuan ay mabuting bagay.

    Pero napansin ko lang na mas inaabot ng JobsDB ang mga aplikante miski hindi sila “tech savvy”, kasi nakita ko sila sa mga baranggay job fairs at mga job fairs na ang nag-buo ay PESO.

  54. Swooo0sh!! says:

    As an HR Director, I go for JobsDB. They delivered great applicants to my company. Also, With the current partnerships with both private corporations and public offices (i.e. DOT and TESDA,i am confident they already outrun other competitors. Try to search Alexa.com and compare both with regards to number of hits.

  55. myuki says:

  60. blankPixels says:

    From what I’ve observed, JobsDB is for IT people, Jobstreet is for the rest, especially for people looking for call center jobs.

    I still prefer Jobstreet, though, based on the interface.
