I have found listings out of date.
Cumbersome to navigate
Do nothing to present what it's like to work at the firm
Are inconsistent wigth the firm's marketing message
Do nothing to sell.
Don't treat the reader as a customer.
A recent article on ere.net, College Graduates Criticize Outdated Career Websites, focused on the experience of college graduates.
Let me add one more issue:
Who receives the responses anyway and how are they handled? Too many organizations put responses into the hands of administrative assistants or the least experienced recruiter to discern value--and often they aren't experienced enough to actually decide.
