FlipDog is a jobsearch site which claims to deliver the largest job collection. They compile job listings directly from employer Web sites and present a fairly comprehensive directory of jobs found on the Web. All the services at FlipDog.com are free of charge to the job seeker, but you must be a registered user to take advantage of the full range of FlipDog.com's services, such as the ability to post your resume, apply for positions, and create automated JobHunt.
The accessibility of the FlipDog site is average, and most users will be able to access the services with little or no difficulty. However, searching for jobs within a specific area can be problematic for screen reader and certain other accessibility technology users. Users must click an image-map of the United States and select specific cities from a list provided via a JavaScript application to select a region. No alternate method is provided. Certain users may be unable to enter any limiting criteria other than certain keywords, making the Job Search section of the site inaccessible.
