overall my concern is “are these quality jobs and are candidates actually landing them?”

I added the board to my site because the jobs are well above the average. We’ve had it on A List Apart for going on two months now. People seem happy.

Also, do either of these sites offer any kind of statistical tracking or visual job mapping aides?

Great idea!

I think that the immediate job categorization is quite handy. I also look at <a href="www.cssBeauty.com/jobs" rel="nofollow">cssBeauty</a> for job postings. They get interesting postings too.

I prefer the 37signals board. The design is killer, leaner and easier to read. Crunchboard could be any 2.0 website from the past six months in terms of design; it's not as easy to read and I just love those non-breaking spaces, Sheila. OK to hijack the question?

From what I remember, Sports Endeavors Inc. is an incredible place to work. Great atmosphere, great benefits. (I still wish I'd gotten the job!)
