Day-9

“Some sites design their agents to tempt job hunters to return. When CareerSite’s agent sends out messages to those who have signed up for its service, for example, it includes only three potential jobs - those it considers the best matches. There may be more matches in the database; job hunters will have to visit the site again to find them - and they do. On the day after we send our messages, we see a sharp increase in our traffic,” says Seth Peets, vice president of marketing for CareerSite."

"Even those who aren’t hunting for jobs may find search agents worthwhile. Some use them to keep a close watch on the demand for their line of work or gather information on compensation to arm themselves when negotiating for a raise. Although happily employed, Redmon maintains his agent at CareerBuilder. ‘You always keep your eyes open,’ he says. Working with a personal search agent means having another set of eyes looking out for you.

这段话主要讲述了一些网站如何通过设计招聘搜索代理来吸引求职者回来，并以CareerSite为例说明了这种策略的有效性。同时，它也提到了即使是已经有工作的人也可以使用这些代理来关注他们职业领域的需求和工资情况，以便在谈判加薪时有更多的信息支持。使用个人搜索代理意味着有另一双眼睛帮助你寻找潜在的工作机会。
