where to post job openings?

my company is looking to hire an account executive position. I'm still so new to hiring, i'm a little nervous to put the job description on a career builder or monster. It's an advertising agency - so i did post it on the local ad club job boards - but i thought i would check if anybody had any other ideas? Thanks!

Why are you nervous to put on CB or monster?

Have you considered linkedin.com? I see postings there all the time.

Local university have a job posting site (for alumni too)? What about doing a temp-to-hire, through an agency?

I also agree with PP... why the nervousness? Does management not want it posted with the company name? Can you say "no walk-ins" on the ad if concerned?

Although seeming outdated... what about the help wanted ads of a newspaper?

Also, do you have to put the WHOLE job description in the ad? What about a short-n-sweet condensed version for an online ad? You can always provide the fuller description at the interview.

local trade papers or trade website

Thanks ladies! "nervous" because it's my company and this is only the 2nd person i've had to hire. The first one i only posted on the local ad boards and received about 40 applications. I guess my concern with monster/career builder is i would get so many resumes. The whole hiring process is still a little overwhelming to me to be honest! thanks for the advice though - i appreciate it!

So you get a lot of applicants. They should be pretty easy to cull.
