Yahoo! HotJobs.com, Ltd., headquartered in New York City's Silicon Alley, was founded by Richard Johnson in 1997. The Internet Business Network (IBN) in Mill Valley, Calif., cites HotJobs.com as one of the Top 5 recruiting web sites in its category of over 3,500 competitors, and awards the company the 1997 Excellence in the Electronic Recruiting Industry (EERI) Award. By excluding headhunters and agencies from our site, we provide real jobs from real companies. This means a job seeker is more likely to find and apply to appropriate jobs.

Corporate recruiters post jobs by themselves and receive direct responses from job seekers.
