Part 2/9:
To understand the current dynamics of job hunting on LinkedIn, it is essential to look back at the history of job boards. The 1990s marked the beginning of this evolution, where job seekers transitioned from physical ads in newspapers to the first online job board, the Online Career Center, launched in 1993.
By 1994, platforms like Monster.com and CareerBuilder made it possible for candidates to post resumes online and broaden access to job listings. This digitization of the job search process helped close the gap between candidates and employers, paving the way for platforms like LinkedIn that integrated job searching with professional networking.
