Poll: JobStreet vs. JobsDB

Haven’t been to any job site in over 4 years now so the last time I had a discussion about them, I was a bit clueless of their current status. I thought maybe I can just ask my readers here what they think of the top two.

There were a lot of paid back in the early days of the net. I specifically remembered Trabaho.com because it’s where I landed my very first job in 2000.

jobsdb jobstreet

Today, it looks like only two paid job sites remain active — and . The fact that these two are part of regional job site may have helped them survived the paid world of online services.

Which of the two is better? Which one do you use more?

I’ve added the new poll on the sidebar for you to cast your vote or you can also share your comments below.

  1. i find jobstreet more user friendly that jobsdb.

  2. i am currently looking for job as a multimedia artist and registered to both sites.

    however, jobsdb offers more choices for my chosen field. So i’ll go for jobsdb.com!

  3. jobs.db has faster feedbacks from employer compare to jobstreet.

  4. There’s also bestjobs.ph

    :-)

  5. Trabaho.com is still active :)

  6. Why just JobStreet vs. JobsDB? I love Sulit! =)

  7. jobstreet. parang may mga hoax sa jobsdb. may spam jobs akong nareceive sa email ko after i signed a long time ago

  8. I would prefer JOBSDB.COM ang bilis ng feedback nila compare sa JOBSTREET.COM

  9. Gwapito loves Jobstreet!

    1. More user friendly. JobDBdoes not work in Firefox.

    2. I love the job matching system of JS.

  10. ill go for jobstreet

  11. go jobstreet!

  12. The reason why feedback is faster on JobsDB is because there are less applicants. As an employer, we have a better selection of candidates with Jobstreet.

  13. Both are good for me.

  14. we use jobsdb in the office to find sales staff.

  15. Mas maraming corporate tie-ups ang JobStreet as far as I have observed*.

    *at least on my experience.

  16. Both serves their purposes. Isa pa, halos lahat naman nang company nagpopost on both sites =p

  17. E2 ang mas maganda

    Vonremy Career Services
    http://www.vonremy.com.sg

    just kidding.

    I’ll go for Jobstreet. More jobs posted sa Jobstreet.

  18. e2 ang mas maganda
    http://www.vonremy.com.sg

    joke lang.
    Jobstreet ako. mas maraming nakapost na job sa jobstreet.com

  19. i dont use both of them like 4 years already, like yuga… hehehe

  20. jobsdb.com offers more job than jobstreet for IT, so i do prefer jobsdb.com

  21. I prefer jobsdb I like how they present the jobs simple exact to the point

  22. From what I’ve observed, JobsDB is for IT people, Jobstreet is for the rest, especially for people looking for call center jobs.

    I still prefer Jobstreet, though, based on the interface.

  23. As a recruiter, I prefer JobsDB. I like the add to cart feature. Their pricing is fair.

  24. I had several interviews from abroad before because of jobstreet especially from singapore, but I got my current job in china from monster.com

  25. As an employer I’ve tried both and JobsDB is the winner hands down. The pricing is fair, the account managers are very attentive and the candidate pool is huge.

  26. hey!

    i prefer jobsDB…for its always updated, always have fresh job post, wider scope… i recommend this to everybody…check it out! you’ll see the difference ppol!!

    love and peace!

  27. definitely JobsDB.com more companies subscribing I’ve more choces in job availablity

  28. As an HR Director, I go for JobsDB. They delivered great applicants to my company. Also, With the current partnerships with both private corporations and public offices (i.e. DOT and TESDA,i am confident they already outrun other competitors. Try to search Alexa.com and compare both with regards to number of hits.

  29. Pareho naman nakakatulong ang dalawang websayts sa mga aplikanteng pilipino. Na sa kabuuan ay mabuting bagay.

    Pero napansin ko lang na mas inaabot ng JobsDB ang mga aplikante miski hindi sila “tech savvy”, kasi nakita ko sila sa mga baranggay job fairs at mga job fairs na ang nag-buo ay PESO.

  38. Very user friendly ang JOBSDB..Very updated sila when it comes to job opportunities and very mabilis pa ang response. Jobsdb is more professional than Jobstreet. Naiirita nga ako sa Jobstreet kasi it keeps on sending me emails about jobs that I dont even care of. Actually puro jobstreet na ang laman ng isang email ko..Go for JOBSDB.

  39. Both serves the purpose, but based on experience,JobDB has more quality.

  40. JobsDB is great!

    _clearly number one jobsdb

  45. I vote for JobsDB just because of the quality of jobs they offer, not that they only offer jobs, they also make sure that jobs offered are fit for the one you are looking for.

    As for Jobstreet… Mailing system is one hassle system to use… Not to mention website is really a bugger to use.

  46. before graduating in college i already started looking for a job..and maybe because of the popularity of jobstreet i immediately logged in to it but to my surprised i havent heard any job alert that is related to what i have finished so then my cousin introduced to me jobsdb..
    so i created my account there and i immediately got job alerts that is related to what i have finished.
    i even enjoyed the comfort of using their career card an electronic resume card..
    so in other words and much further a do i deeply support JOBSDB. :)

  47. i like jobsDB better. very fast ung response d gaya ng jobstreet na 48 years.. puro flood pa sa mail..

  48. I applied for both sites but jobsdb’s feedback is the fastest.. : )

  49. Yun oh

  50. naka bintaha gyud ang serbisyo sa JOBSDB, mas nindot sila mo dala ug clients, naka try naman pud ko sa serbisyo sa jobstreet pero medyo dili sosama ka nindot sa jobsdb. nakakita ko ug work gud pina agi sa pag search sa jobsdb ug pag padala nila ug job alert, im from bohol ug naka kita ko ug work sa cebu tungod sa tabang sa jobsdb… mao saludo ko sa taga JOBSDB.COM

  51. Money wise may we just say Jobstreet. Pero Quality and Career wise kay Jobsdb ako.. Just that simple.
    As an HR Consultant for 6 yrs. naexperienced ko na kumuha ng subscription kay Jobstreet kc sobrang Cheap pero i didnt get the right candidate. Nauubos ang oras ko kay Jobstreet. Unlike Jobsdb mejo higher ang price but the thing is i got a lot of candidate that matches my openings as in Quality Candidates and they have a great aftersale service mula umpisa at kahit tapos na subscription mo, as in hustle free..

  52. Since 1995, JobStreet.com has grown to become one of the leading Internet recruitment websites in the Asia-Pacific, revolutionizing the way recruitment is done today. Through utilization of JobStreet.com’s comprehensive suite of interactive services, international and local Asian corporations recruit from JobStreet.com’s ever-increasing pool of top talent and manage their recruitment process via the Internet through uniquely developed software applications.

  53. I like jobsDB they have many service rather than jobstreet. All service is very unique and hustle free.

    Go JobsDB; Proud to be no. 1 in recruitment process!

  54. dati jobstreet ako,una kasi sila nag papadala sa akin ng alert, pero ng tumagal di na maganda service nila, padalhan kaba naman ng alert na di naman para sa iyo ang work,siguro ala na silang mapadala na vacancy, kaya i happen to discover the greatness of jobsDB,sa help nila naka kita ako ng work…THANKS to JOBSDB…

    its not about the site guys, just go for what you think have the best for you.. what you think can give you the best is more important… and can serve us and give us the right job that is fit for you…

  61. Oh my gosh, it’s so obvious that JobsDB people are spamming this entry by discrediting Jobstreet! Comeon, the entries are posted minutes apart from each other with most sentences starting with “for me… ” lol! Plus, the comments have no content and is CLEARLY from one or two persons only!

    I’m just a normal jobseeker looking for the right website to go to and want a more fair view of both services, but clearly jobsdb look a little insecure :P More comments with content that helps please!

  62. uhuh…ur a jobstreet people. Well, jobsdb is the no.1 career portal in asia pacific. I salute for jobsdb coz they have the quality service rather than the quantity of amount in money. The more expensive of jobsdb the more high quality!

  63. who cares to be in the jobsdb jobseeker?

    JOBSDB is the best for me dahil pag maramin ang tourismo marami din ang trabaho. Pag may problema ang mga tao sa paghahanap ng tao maraming trabaho sa jobsdb. okay! Gusto ko talaga sa jobsdb oi. kay maganda ang mga work doon at marami kang choices like sa akin i don’t know kung saan ako pipili sa company na nagtawag sa akin..okiks.

    Just be friend to anyone okay girls and boys

  64. NIce job JOBSDB PHils. you’ve help a lot of jobseekers in the country.

    God Speed….

    ann

  65. Bitaw, ang jobsdb maka tabang kaayo naku labi na taga mindanao ko. Nanginabuhi ko diri sa syudad. Daghan trabaho diri nimo makit-an. Pas pas ang response sa mga employer ug nindot ang mga trabaho pud.

  66. kebs oi…oa pud mo makareact.both companies had same intentions.but ive seen jobsdb.com in every jobfair like the department of tourism 4th trabaho sa turismo, tesda jobfair even my cousins from mindanao knew about jobsdb during jobfairs their.we need both sites coz they help jobless pipz.for jobsdb n jobstreet i salute u both.keep up the good work. monster.com yung d best oi. oa pud reaction jobstreet.

  67. I love to search for online jobs but JobsDB is the qualified online job research i will choose.

  68. Parang mga jobsdb employee lang ang nasa site na ito..but im a jobseeker, kahit anong site basta may response from emloyer, ok na ako…ngayon, wla pa akong work, sana sa jobstreet or jobsdb ko makuha yung firts work ko……

  69. yeh right, oa talaga mga pips parang mga media na nakisawsaw sa issue nina katrina n hayden kho. this blog is useless if ever jobstreet man ang mag lead o jobsdb coz im sure almost lahat nag vote mga taga jobstreet n jobsdb lang, we dont know…
    useless ang site na to sa exposure nang jobsdb kahit saan. ang nakikinabang lang dito ang ang site na to itong yugatech.im sure they were smilin coz theyre using both site para magincrease yung response nang viewer nang site nila. hehehehehehe…much better i vote nyo nalang yung karapat dapat na president this 2010.

    goodluck guys

  70. kebs na wrong grammar n speeling ko keb keb kebs.

  71. ai mali na naman spelling n grammar hai kebs kebs kebs

  72. i found the best job matches and super effective feedbacks only from JobsDB. I landed on my best job presently to Jobsdb and i highly recommended it to everyone! Thumbs UP to JOBSDB.. Keep up the great work ;)

  73. lol I really don’t care abt either one, jst want some info on each jobsite, but are all jobsdb ppl this insecure?:P Gd luck with the jobhunt on whichever site!

  74. jobsdb

  75. I work as a Recruitment Supervisor for a call center in Manila. I say JobsDB is a scammer!

  76. For me JobStreet is the best

    I also find this one very promising, the site says that it was just launched Jan, 2010
    http://www.philjobspot.com

  77. http://www.philjobspot.com seems growing really fast, considering it was just launched Jan 4, 2010, according to their site.

  78. JobStreet is more user-friendly. Let’s not argue, it’s the number one online job portal in the Phils.

    But then JobsDB rules in more countries across Asia. And I think they have also conquered Australia and the US.

  79. Both sites surely have their own strengths. Choice is good as it allows consumers to get the best.

    Regards,

    TechJobs.com.ph
    No mess. Just jobs.

  80. you may also visit http://www.JobsPursuit.com It’s a new online job portal set to take over the needs of jobseekers. visit the website and sign up now!

  81. based on a 2009 study made by our group, we’ve found out that though jobstreet overshoots jobsdb when it comes to local listings of both jobseekers and employers…

    both lose their credibility at finding appropriate jobs for applicants since most employers (except for the bpo industry) prefer walk-in applications more than those submitted through jobstreet or jobsdb.

    to quote one employer “applications made through these sites are bothersome to read.”

    and it was also found out that companies prefer applicants who are more physically appealing despite the presence of applicants with better academic and professional records.
