A major online employment website and job search platform that connects job seekers with employers. Also used generically to describe resources or activities that advance one's career.
Compound of 'career' (from French 'carrière' meaning racecourse, later path of employment) and 'builder' (from Old English 'byldan'). The website founded in 1995 popularized this compound term.
CareerBuilder was one of the first major job sites to harness the power of the early internet for employment matching, fundamentally changing how people search for jobs. Before online job boards, most positions were found through newspaper classifieds or word-of-mouth networking.
