Jobboard Finder’s opinion
Summary: Trovit is a job aggregator, now based in 53 countries; but it could also be categorized as a classifieds website since they specialize in advertising homes, car, jobs and sometimes products. Depending on where you are, Trovit doesn’t necessarily reach as many people and you can’t always be redirected to other job boards. These countries only use Trovit as a search engine: Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, Venezuela.
Design: The layout is very similar to Google’s, which makes sense because they aim to offer a similar service: gathering information from all over the web relating to specific topics and helping fit the adverts into organized sections. A few pop-ups, but they aim to keep that to a minimum.
The job board objective: Simplifying job searches. There is a huge emphasis on understanding the users and the data that helps stay on top of what the people want.
Recruiter observations: --
Jobseeker observations: Being able to access many job offers from all over the web in one location makes Trovit a mini-Google.
The job offers: The large array of jobs are sorted by the profession, the region, the contract and the work hours (full time/ part time).
Reactivity: No country will let you post through Trovit.
Special features: Personalized alerts for job searches, centralization of different classifieds and job offers, personalized web addresses for each version of Trovit (depending on the country), icons to help navigate around the website.
Verdict: If you are a jobseeker, go ahead: it’s a practical search engine. If you are a recruiter, you can’t use Trovit other than to see what the competition is up to.
