Joblet is a Japan developed service. Employers submit jobs to the service and these jobs are then displayed on widgets across the Joblet network of web sites. Employers pay for each qualifying resume they receive or optionally - new in the latest release - on a pay per click basis. Bloggers and site owners make money when people clicking through from their site and additionally when those people apply for a job.
The service is naturally a good additional strategy to using recruiters - who although potentially effective charge around 30% of an annual salary - simply not possible for many smaller companies . Job listings sites are also quite expensive and these sites also largely attract active job seekers, whereas the Joblet model puts jobs in front of passive job seekers who are potentially more interesting candidates. Site owners can also customize the widget so that only jobs relevant to their site content are displayed.
Joblet is developed by www.theplant.jp, a bunch of cool people (and good friends of mine) in central Tokyo who are also the company behind www.asoboo.com and have been big supporters of the monthly www.Tokyo2Point0.net event.
Below are samples of two of the widgets available. CSS customization is an option for the latter.
You can also see the widget at www.thejapanjobsearch.com - an experimental site I put together using Google Pages with embedded del.icio.us link roll widgets (so that it only takes around 5 seconds to add sites), listing a large number of Japan job sites and resources along with a Google Custom Search Engine so that you can search all the sites from one place.
