Abstract
Reviewing the literature on innovative online services in context with recruiting, seven main services for applicants emerged: general job board services, advanced job search services, social and business network services, mobile services, advanced content and Web 2.0 services, notification services, and lead user services. The identified services from the literature analyses were compared with the state of the art implemented services on 100 international job boards. While English and German-language job boards follow the same trends in terms of services offered to applicants, the former are more innovative and have higher implementation rates of innovative services than the latter. Social and business network integration is increasingly popular but most job boards do not make use of dynamic content for company profiles, real-job-previews or employee testimonials. Notification services, particularly job alerts, have seen successful implementation.
