Www.beyond.com is the main portal for the Beyond Career Network, a network of niche career and employment sites.
The company has acquired hundreds of small job sites which catered to specialized fields, and then consolidated their backend operations and their job databases. From the main portal, job seekers can search the combined job databases of these affiliated sites, or upload their resumes for potential employers. A minor annoyance is that you must give your name and email address before you can begin searching. While the job search feature on this site is functional, it is somewhat prone to giving irrelevant results, and there are many advertisements which are mixed within the results. The better way to use the Beyond site is actually to browse the jobs through the “Channels” feature, which will lead to you to various affiliate sites in its network. While many of the channels have more than 20 websites listed in each channel, it is relatively easy to home in on the few websites in job areas of particular interest to you. While this site is not as big and polished as the larger sites such as Monster.com and Indeed.com, there may still be some value to searching on this website, especially for jobs from small and medium sized companies or specialized jobs in niche fields.
