Job boards are more than just a place to post job ads. They also serve as resume databases by encouraging candidates to upload their resumes. Instead of posting an ad and waiting for incoming applications, they allow recruiters to search resumes online using multiple filters such as location, skills, education level, and combination, which instantly find matching profiles without posting an ad on the board itself.
