A job portal is a website that connects job seekers with employers, allowing users to create profiles, search job openings, and apply for positions. There are various types of job portals, including general, industry-specific, government, internship, freelance, non-profit, and remote job portals, each serving different job markets. Job portals offer benefits for both employers, such as targeted searches and easier candidate selection, and for job seekers, including increased opportunities and convenience.
