Employers pay $50 to post a job on MBJ. When an applicant is hired, companies also pay 12 percent of the candidate’s salary to the job site.

Here’s the kicker: MBJ offers job seekers cash rewards to remove their resumes from job boards. Most likely job seekers will be reluctant to comply with such a request, especially in such a sluggish economy where people looking for a job want to get as much exposure as possible.

“With MoneyBackJobs.com, we wanted to give people a break from the standard, stuffy, and boring job board,” said CEO Mark Thomas. “Job seekers who use our site get cash for accepting a job, and employers pay substantially less for getting their pick of the talent pool. Both parties get incentives for making their listings exclusive to MoneyBackJobs.com. We’re pioneering a more efficient model for connecting job seekers and employeres that rewards both sides.

The concept of the sides sounds lot similar to NotchUp.com, in which companies pay job seekers for the opportunity to interview them. In this case, job seekers have a couple different ways to earn some extra cash. But does the site offer enough incentive to keep a monogamous relationship between job board and job seeker?

Thomas thinks so. “This will eventually result in a more efficient job market with businesses spending less money to attract the right talent and professionals getting bonuses for finding the jobs they want. When people get used to our rewards structure, it will be difficult for them to go anywhere else.”

“Consumers are inundated with vast amounts of information and often have a difficult time sorting through what is relevant, important or urgent to their everyday needs,” said Alerts.com co-founder and chief executive officer, Pascal Stolz. “Alerts.com is a user-friendly service that helps users aggregate what they want from one secure source.”

Users can log on to alerts.com and customize a profile that triggers Jobster to send job alerts based on the geography and job function the user selected.

The web site also supplies alerts for RSS feed keywords, airfare pricing, events, and birthdays. Earlier this month, Alerts.com announced a partnership with PR Newswire, enabling them to offer alerts based on press releases and other newsworthy content.

Alerts.com plans to remove the beta in late 2008.

The career resources portal will also be offering video production, hosting, and job posting integration to enhance the video component.

Each Monster Video Profile will offer three different video presentation options:

1) Company close-up: an in-depth company profile highlighting corporate culture, benefits, and work environment

2) Company snapshot: a spotlight that highlights one or two aspects of the company

3) Career insider: a video snippet that gives job seekers “a day in the life” of an employee

Monster.ca is also offering the option to have existing corporate video added directly to an employer’s posting.

QuietAgent allows a job seeker to connect with employers by creating a career profile that is then matched anonymously to a company seeking their skill set. Companies pay a fee only when the job seeker agrees to reveal his contact information and to be considered for future positions with the company.

The new Tools and Technology list is also mapped to the United Nations Standard Products and Services Code (UNSPSC) global standard, so now employers can be alerted when a person with the skills and experience they require joins QuietAgent anywhere in the world.

While QuietAgent is not a job board, they do provide links on their website to major job sites all over the world.

The Career Exposure Network, the leading source of niche job sites for women, diversity and MBAs, has come up with a list that they hope will educate and motivate job seekers. Here are their tips:

1) Make every resume unique
Customize every resume and cover letter to showcase why your skills and experience make you the best match for each job.

2) Use broad and niche job-seeking tools
Broad job sites are easy one-stop-shops for job seeking, but don’t overlook niche sites that are tailored by profession, industry, skill set or gender. By using these sites, such as CareerWomen.com, DiversitySearch.com and MBACareers.com, job seekers can connect with employers that are targeting their specific demographic. Who can afford to miss that?

3) Employ virtual and in-person networking strategies
Certainly call and e-mail former co-workers, colleagues and business associates to get connections. You should also join associations or volunteer in your area of interest to create new contacts. Use online networks such as LinkedIn and build connections virtually. Consider jumping into social networks such as Twitter where you can find, follow and chat with people who work at companies or in industries you find of interest.

4) Take a class for content and connections
Staying sharp is one reason for taking a class; however, other reasons could include making new connections by way of classmates or the professor. Classes can also add extra beef to your resume that will demonstrate your commitment to your career and skills.
