Resume Distribution Services

There are a number of companies who will email and/or fax your resume to recruiters and hiring managers.

All of the comments below are based on 6 years experience as a recruiter and a year long test where we signed up for and recieved "all resumes", all categories, no restrictions, from every resume distribution service we could find (over a dozen).

Based on this, using a resume distribution or "resume blasting" service has advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages

Your resume will, indeed, be sent to thousands of recruiters. How many depends on a number of factors, such as what specialties and geographical areas you choose and how many recruiters have signed up with a particular service. Recruiters do indeed know many hiring managers and are in a position to fill many of jobs which are often never advertised.

The resume distribution companies we would recommend:

ResumeZapper.Com - Instantly Distribute your resume to up to 10,000 Top Recruiters! Resume Zapper is by far the largest and most popular resume distribution company online. In a study we did last year, they distributed over 3 times as many resumes as the next most popular company.

Recently, in my work as a recruiter, I signed up for virtually all of the resume distribution companies. ResumeZapper sent out about 5 times as many resumes as the next most popular site!
