From the linked article:
> CareerBuilder + Monster also agreed to sell its software services business for federal and state governments to Canadian software company Valsoft, and the military.com and fastweb.com websites to Canadian media company Valnet.
I'm wondering what the regime will do once they figure out that Federal and Civilian Military job information is going appear to go to Canada?

Turns out when you reject everyone, no one uses you anymore. And this is why we have hundreds of millions of degree holders world wide unemployed because of not even being even given a chance. In the golden years, everyone was employed regardless of experience.

It's your own fault for not getting a masters degree. How can you expect to be hired as a dishwasher with only a bachelors?
Kids today. So entitled.

So, where does everyone go now? Is there a single best choice, or is it just a fractured mess of AI spamming AI sites now?

Indeed, LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter and the dozens and dozens of other affiliate, clone, mirror, white labelled sites that operate today. It's a real mess out there.
Feels like job hiring has gone the way as travel bookings with Sabre where you have a couple big database systems with the actual information and then dozens of sites that just provide front ends for the same group of listings.

I know that jackass is your first language, but perhaps you should spend some time boning up on English. Work ethic has no correlation with wanting a canonical list of openings.

Sorry, your old boys network view is very dated. Make phone calls? WHO THE FUCK IS PICKING UP THE PHONE TO TALK TO STRANGERS? No tech company will hire you. But hey, who wants to work at Netflix/Google/Apple/Microsoft/Amazon/OpenAI/nVidia/etc? If you're coming to the job market not willing to adapt to modern times, I question your work ethic. You're not virtuous...you're the laziest fuck I've ever heard of...shaking your fists at people doing what is expected of them today instead of what people did in the 80s and early 90s. No one cares about effort, only results...working smarter is always better than working harder.
Also, you're assuming people aren't asking everyone they know. Everyone I know is. Here's the thing...you only know people you know...and people in top jobs?...they don't socialize a lot....big tech employers do what they can to isolate their employees. It's not like the late 90s where you'd meet them at conferences.
Everyone I know from top employers I know by accident, or they're former coworkers....I was very active in the open source scene local user groups and conferences...I met a lot of people from shit employers there. Once I got a job from a top employer, they stopped paying for me to go to such things and I had to work on proprietary frameworks, so the stuff at conferences and user groups became a lot less relevant....like everyone else who upgraded their employer, I stopped going.

Hey grampa, take your meds and a nap. None of your "advice" has been valid for years, if not a decade. Most companies refuse resumes handed in person, they will tell you to apply on their site/job posting. The reason is they will filter it to see if it has a high enough score with their keyword list, and the other reason is for your sweet sweet private information. A lot of laws are being written that companies need your permission/have a business relationship with you for this behavior, and applying for a

When I was job searching a couple years back I noticed a lot of sites were just scraping job listings from all over and providing their own search engine on top. Applying would just take you to the original listing on Indeed or wherever else. Of course, they would slap some ads everywhere and bingo, you're a job search engine.

I've encountered the same which is why I suspect there has been consolidation on the backend, like we have a bunch of data middlemen and all these front end search engine sites. The whole thing feels like a scam sometimes with these no name sites.
