Clash of the Career Sites

Career sites are getting a lot of attention these days, thanks to the much-publicized unemployment situation. As thousands of job-seekers upload resumes, search for opportunities and network in an attempt to advance their careers, we wanted to know which ones were the easiest to navigate; had the best feature set and gave users the most intuitive mobile experience.

With that in mind, we decided to make these four job sites the subject of our Q3 Bug Battle competition:

The release is open from Friday, August 6 at noon (ET) until Monday, August 16 at noon. During that time, hundreds of other testers from around the world will search for GUI, technical and functional bugs in the aforementioned websites.

To win, all you have to do is find a bug and submit it to us through our online platform. The bugs must be original - bugs that are already known are not eligible - and because these are publicly available applications, we do not pay per bug like we usually do. Instead, we award prizes in several categories. For more on the rules and prizes, click here.

Once the competition is over, testers will fill out a survey, ranking each app in terms of usability, intuitiveness and other criteria. As with previous competitions, we'll be awarding nearly $4000 in prize money for:

  • Top overall tester (based on quality of bugs and feedback)
  • Top individual bugs
  • Top mobile bugs
  • Top feedback surveys (about the feature set, functionality and usability)
  • And other awards

Happy testing!
