What is a JobBoard?

I think the term JobBoard has been lost over the years and is now causing some confusion… I would argue that a JobBoard is a business model, accounting for the likes of Monster, CareerBuilder, Seek etc.
They advertise jobs (as a third party) on behalf of clients, be they direct employers or staffing/recruitment agencies and have no involvement in the pay-rolling of perms or temps/flex-workers.
What most of us have on our websites are job listings that we are advertising on behalf of our clients. Most of the time we take a fee for finding a candidate and if a temp/flex-worker we then pay-role that candidate.
