Security Community,

I am looking to get the community's suggestions on which approach you think is most effective in designing a job postings site for the IT Security community with an intent to allow security professionals to freely list their organization's openings in aims to bring in fellow professionals as referrals.

I've gone through a few iterations of concepts:

- A site where users can anonymously list and rate their security-specific skills and knowledge; organizations would then be able to submit proposals to those users with opportunities which users can choose to accept or decline, and upon accepting, make the introduction

- A general site, under a high-level domain, with listings, categorized by job type such as Pen Testing, GRC, Audit, Architecture, Technology, Monitoring, Management. The issue I see with this structure is that it could get very disorganized very quickly with myriads of postings. I've got a site up on this concept using a software platform and already have a few postings at itssgroup.com

- Platform Technology-specific sites, under a collection of platform-specific domains, with listings categorized by Platform such as SIEM: RSA enVision, Q1, ArcSight, Splunk; DLP: Symantec, RSA, Websense, McAfee, etc. I've also got a few domains registered for this, and have a few of the jobs replicated, at siemjobs.com.

Please keep in mind that the sites are a work in progress. My goal is not to have this turn into another monster.com, and for the infosec professionals, be a free resource to use for referral services. Any and all feedback will be considered and appreciated, including gripes about current platforms.

Thanks,
Mark
