Also, a great way for spammers to harvest real email addresses. But I'm not sure that AllJobsMatch was created to be that kind of service. Like AllJobs says, an employer will have a hard time resisting a read when a candidate's match probability is high. That's only going to be true as long as the CV read meets the expectations created by the high match probability. Otherwise, employers will start to see the AllJobs mails as spam and treat them as such. AllJobs may not care since they're being paid by the candidates and not the employers, but unless the candidates get results, they'll stop paying.

Being only NIS 39 per month, it's not a huge risk. In the US, resume blasting services have become very popular. There are probably 10 companies offering this service. These companies charge between $50 and a few thousand! They will blast your resume to 2,000 recruiters. Small amount of money but I would says it's almost always money down the drain (I know somebody is going to tell me it worked for them). My point is, you are better off investing your time in doing your own research, to get to the right job/recruiter, than paying even a small amount. (A small side note, if someone is trying to charge you to actually find them a job, the first rule is to run the other way) Todd Porter H.T. PROF Executive Search H.T.
