Forty-eight percent of corporate recruiters posted their job opportunities to the Web last year, according to June 1999 survey by the Society for Human Resource Management. Sixty-two percent of aspiring senior managers say they'll use the Internet to search for their next job, according to a recent Watson Wyatt Worldwide survey. Just a few years ago, career sites were largely experimental. In 1995, when Craig Newmark founded Craigslist, a virtual community that posts employment and housing ads, event announcements and other classifieds for residents in the San Francisco area, he never dreamed he'd make a living from the grassroots venture. More than 90 percent of Internet jobs in the San Francisco area are placed through job sites, Newmark says, which explains why Craigslist has been able to cash in on the trend with little effort.
