OaklandCrossing is a job reporting and job opening research service.
OaklandCrossing works for you, the job seeker and not employers. We research jobs and provide you with unbiased job-opening research. It costs us a great deal of time and money to research job openings for you and what we do is radically different than any other job site out there. In fact, we are not really a job site and are, instead, a research service for people who want to know about all of the jobs in the market. Other job sites get jobs on their sites by charging employers to appear there. In contrast, we go out and research jobs from every source we can find and put them on our site.

Because we are a research-oriented service, our users on an average tend to be people with high incomes, good educations, and the upwardly mobile. We believe our research is valuable to everyone; however, users of our service are overwhelmingly the highest paid people in society with good educations. Because we offer the most comprehensive research out there, being a member our site is not inexpensive and it is not for everyone. As an advocate for job seekers, we do not have any advertising and we never allow employers to influence our search results. We also make sure that we weed out jobs on our site to show you the most relevant jobs and do not clog our listings with pages and pages of irrelevant jobs seeking your resume instead of advertising actual jobs, for example.

We charge a negligible fee to access our site for 30 days. Sites like Monster, CareerBuilder, Indeed, HotJobs, SimplyHired and so forth are free. If your career is not that important and the sort of job you end up is not that important to you, then we suggest you do not join OaklandCrossing. We will not be worth your money to you. Frankly, we also want people who appreciate our site and what we do and can benefit from our work.

The real advantage of dealing with us is that our fees will never get in the way of people hiring you, or the jobs you will see. The sites mentioned above all may appear "free" but their job is to drive thousands of applicants to each job because employers pay them to post jobs on their sites. In contrast, OaklandCrossing works for you the job seeker. Our job is to find every job in the market and many of the jobs we find have received few if any applications.

Considering that a common recruiting service would charge an employer 25% to 40% of your annual salary for having procured your employment, or a typical job site charges $500 or more for an employer to post a job on it, we think the right career move is obvious when it comes to using OaklandCrossing.

The System is Broken: Other Job Sites Are Not Doing What They Promise

We believe the typical system is broken. Typical job sites such as Monster, CareerBuilder, Indeed, SimplyHired, HotJobs and TheLadders may promise to help you find employment, but these companies usually charge employers to post jobs on their sites—in some cases more than $500 for a single job posting.

Since many employers are not interested in paying these high fees, the result is fewer job listings available for job seekers. In the end, the employer suffers, as a result of not paying for the service. The potential hires too suffer because they never learn about the Oakland opportunity.

In essence, everybody loses.

Not only does OaklandCrossing not charge employers to post jobs on our site, we go out and find jobs from every single source we can find and bring them all to our site. We do not charge employers a single cent to post jobs on our website. Whether it is jobs from every job board we can find in your industry or jobs from employer websites—all of these jobs are there on OaklandCrossing. In fact, there are more jobs on OaklandCrossing than any other source.
