> That is true of Indeed, but true neither of Monster nor CareerBuilder. CareerBuilder sell a lot of HR software, as well.
Actually they all sell additional HR software (I know this intimately well but unfortunately I can't legally go into the details) but just like Google they make most of their money by selling advertising space.
> Generally one pays for the latter and not the former, in fact.
Originally aggregators were like that but Indeed changed that later on. Actually the major difference (and I didn't want to go into it before) is the pricing model. Aggregators charge similar to how Google does.
They have promoted search results and charge based on impressions/clicks.
Job Boards charge like traditional advertising. A flat fee for placement for a certain amount of time.
One thing is for sure none of them provide things for free. The free job postings on Indeed is on the way out (I mean it will always be there but its not how they make money nor does it work that well).
(as a friendly note I recall people do not like when you use the code feature (ie space indentation) for quoting comments.. I don't mind though)
