Simplyhired is never the biggest aggregator. Indeed.com is the biggest now. And I don't think Jobster qualifies as one of the "larger players". <a href="http://www.hitwise.com/press-center/hitwiseHS2004/us-11012007careersites.php">http://www.hitwise.com/press-center/hitwiseHS2004/us-11012007careersites.php</a> Both of them were not in the hitwise's list.

I added them to the original post. I think Jobster qualifies because the Hitwise stats are from before the major launch of the free service. So that's why I grouped them into the larger players. We will need to watch how the free service moves ahead if they should retain that position. I guess they are not really part of the aggregator category either anymore.

There is a site called CareerTours www.careertours.com which uses word of mouth marketing tools to get jobs out to the passive job seekers by tapping into their social and business networks. (full disclosure- I am part of the company). As a former recruiter I believe this is the future of recruiting and the evolution of the referral model.
