QUICK QUESTION ...

We are debating some statistics in our office, and you might be able to help us.

HOW MANY RESUMES / BIOS ARE CURRENTLY IN THESE DATABASES?

1. Monster
2. CareerBuilder
3. HotJobs
4. Dice
5. Ladders
6. LinkedIn

For each database, the answer is a simple number, like "X million."

In December, Sherman Hu of LinkedIn said that LI now has 34 million bios. I have a ton of respect for Sherman, and he should know. But perhaps someone could add some color to Sherman's number. IE, Shally is pretty good at noting duplicates, etc.

Kind regards,

I'm very interested in the other numbers as well.
MagicMethod has 1,256 members. It's a GREAT PLACE to find a sourcer!
