Fortune 1000 Employers: Research, Jobs, & Internships

December 12th, 2010 by Susan P. Joyce

In 2010,  96% of the Fortune 1000 employers post their jobs on their Websites! (Only 4% don’t.)

And, we found internships posted on more than 60% of the Fortune 500 company websites (we didn’t check for internships in the entire Fortune 1000 this year, but we will next year).

Most employers see the value of  having those job postings on the corporate website.  A link directly to “Careers” or “Employment” is often in the top right of the home page or in the housekeeping links at the bottom of every page.
