It feels like job board acquisitions in the US are accelerating. The two primary buyers seem to be Jobing.com and onTargetJobs.com (see interview with oTJ founder and chairman) but other contenders may include Dice, JobServe and Jupiter Media. More recently, Internet Brands has entered the ring. Kennedy Information has also recently compiled a report entitled Mergers & Aquisition Dynamics for Employment Web Sites.
