100hot ranks
job sites based on the number of page views each receives. To determine the
number of page views, 100hot collects data from sources they prefer to keep
confidential. They sample about 100,000 surfers: 60% from North America and 40%
from the rest of the world. But no need to worry about your privacy. 100hot
doesn't track exact demographic
information.
Note
Brainbench.com actually ranked
4th, but is not reflected below. It is not a job site, but rather a
testing and certification service.

Launching in September 1998, this is a relative newcomer that has
somehow shot up to the top rankings out of nowhere, possibly because of
press exposure and site splitting (each country is a separate site). Sites
are a bit busy and navigation is a tad confusing, but not too hard to
figure out.

They mix recruiter, employer and candidate options on some
pages, which is a little confusing. With so many job sites accepting
resumes for free, the Position Upgrade option is a disappointing gimmick.
