Hi Kyle-- we use many sites including the Oakland Consortium-- in
fact I've called them a few times over the past six years to ask
them to rid the site of outdated listings-- but they say it's the
individual school district's job and each district varies as to how
soon they perform that task.

Our group has grown by word of mouth from about five people to over
350 since we started in 2006. I know of no other totally free
service as this one. I'm just happy to "Pay it Forward" as they say
in the movie. We currently have had 323 hirings of some sort since
06. Some individuals have been hired two or three times while in our
group-- some find jobs from our leads while others find them on
their own. And some just get lucky.
