The numerous responses to the announcement of the Crunchboard Job Site show that the blogosphere, not surprisingly, recognizes the value of what some are calling Jobsearch 2.0: highly targeted, community focused job boards.

Rafe Needleman at the CNET blog writes on the value for professionals in the Techcrunch community:

the value of this job board is not the number of its posted jobs nor its features (there’s no search or even geographic filteringý yet). Rather, it’s the fact that what you’re likely to find on this site is nothing but cutting-edge tech jobs. You won’t find those boring, stable, reliable-paycheck enterprise IT gigs here.

Nik Cubrilovic sees a great opportunity for startups to advertise their openings:

Crunchboard is a great opportunity for startups (like Omnidrive) to post their job listings, we spend almost $1000 on advertising for each position we fill, so at $200 having your job listed to the Techcrunch audience is a steal.

Finally, Aneil Weber at PostBubble writes:

I really like these niche job boards that are starting to pop up, it really gives employers a new way to find quality talent. I for one would rather hire a TechCrunch or 37signals reader then take my chances with Monster or Craigslist. At least you know the person you’re hiring is up to date on the latest and greatest.

Postbubble adds:

The site needs a few more social features and needs to provide more utility for job seekers and companies alike. It would also be nice if job seekers could either pay to put up their resume up or do it for free. If I was looking for a job I would not have a hard time spending a little money to get in front of that crowd. I might be looking for too much out of a job board, but I think it is time for something to be created that actually makes it easier for employers to find employees and vice versa.

The bigger question is whether jobsearch 2.0, as demonstrated by the Crunchboard, is something that is only of interest to tech startups and tech geeks, or whether with the right enabling technology it is concept that a wide variety of companies, professionals, and community oriented sites could take advantage of.
