AllianceQ

Given the amount of new job sites lately that are either not very good, bad, or just plain awful when it comes to being a valuable resource for job seekers, I'm always thrilled when I come across a new and different site that works.

There's a new way for job seekers to get found by top Fortune 500 companies. AllianceQ is a group of Fortune 500 companies that have collaborated to create a pool of job candidates.

Job seekers who register with AllianceQ can be found, confidentially, by leading employers.

Users register anonymously and don't have to provide contact information until they accept a job invitation. In addition, you can block your current employer from seeing your profile.

After you've registered (average join time when I looked was 41 seconds), you create a resume and select your career interests. Then you'll (hopefully) receive job invitations from companies that are interested in talking to you.

Given the competitiveness of the job market, this is a really good way to get your candidacy in front of major employers and it's well worth taking the time to give it a try.

On another new and noteworthy note, if you're interested in finance jobs, check out OneWire. It's another new good site that companies are using to directly access job seekers. OneWire matches job seekers with job opportunities from companies that are a direct fit with their skills and experience.

And for transportation and infrastructure jobs, check out FastLane Hires, which is also brand new.
