Not actively looking for a job but hoping that a good one comes along?

Over the past couple of years, we've seen a lot of social networking sites pop up that help professionals get in touch with each other.

Climber.com is one of those, but it's set up for passive job searches. In other words, Climber.com is a site to join when you've got a job but wouldn't mind finding some other opportunities out there.

The site offers anonymous networking and lists jobs only when ones show up that match up with members' skills and needs. Those skills and needs are identified through an assessment process and an in depth profile.

The "anonymous" feature of the site seems very valuable these days. A lot of people are nervous enough about their jobs and aren't inclined to risk what they have by searching for something else. Yes, if word got back to their employers that they were searching for work, that could be bad in this economy -- a lot of people are looking for jobs and getting rid of employees deemed "not loyal" is a relatively easy task right now.

Membership is free, so why not give the site a look?
