We call them "Job Triggers" and deliver fresh ones each day. Users may get an indicator that a company just acquired venture capital, a new merger, or siginificant revenue increase - which in turn indicate possible hiring opportunities. There's so many indicators to explore and act on. Use job triggers to "warm up" your cold calls when reaching out to a new company. As you mention, creating a personal connection at a company is paramount to increasing your chances of landing a job. We also include LinkedIn integration so you can easily identify a fellow colleague or friend at a company and further warm your approach.

The company of your dreams may not have a position open today, but they may very well have an opening tomorrow. The key is to be proactive. Don't wait for the cattle call. Stay two (maybe even three) steps ahead. Remember, one step ahead just doesn't cut it anymore!

I think people seeking jobs may get discouraged by the job databases, especially if they aren't seeing results. I work for a staffing company in Boston, Hollister Staffing (www.hollisterstaff.com) and work on helping people to find jobs that are fit with. More often than not the best way to find a great job is not on the internet, and it through networking and meeting as many people as you can.
