Launched in 1993, Career.com is the first Internet recruiting service. The advantages over other recruiting sites include: more qualified applicants in the database of candidates (at least 75% with a college degree), lower cost per hire, higher recruiter productivity, reduced paper work, and faster time-to-hire (as short as two weeks).
The site's accessibility is poor and it would be very frustrating for nearly all assistive technology users. Though not impossible, navigation is very difficult using anything other than a mouse. Screen readers have difficulty reading the text of the pages in a logical order, and keyboard navigation is very difficult and illogical in most places. Job opportunity details are presented in pop-up windows, which may be confusing for certain users. The site is difficult to use and confusing for all users.
