The 2024 Recruitment Marketplaces Annual is here, and it is no surprise to see a focus on AI. But it’s not reshaping recruitment just yet, as the radical improvement in matching candidates to jobs has yet to materialize.

It certainly takes the deep dive, though, into AI and other trends like employers focusing on early career candidates, the rise of skills-based hiring and how the recession is impacting job sites.

More highlights include:

  • Indeed, the world’s No. 1 recruitment site, stumbles badly but backpedals.
  • Google drops a test of job ads before it goes live (and what that means).
  • Glassdoor and Kununu, two large employer review sites, are struggling with questions of anonymity, core to the function of employer reviews.
  • CompuTrabajo, owned by RedArbor, becomes the No. 2 recruitment marketplace globally by visits.
  • We also look at LinkedIn, Seek, Schibsted and other major recruitment companies.

Plus …

  • Top 50 list identifies the largest recruitment marketplace and classified sites worldwide
  • Top 25 by revenue
  • The leading recruitment marketplaces / classified companies in 66 countries
  • And much more
