Pricing of job ads/CV database access

Hi All, Just reaching out to everyone to get some opinions of what all you job board owners consider to be the future of paid advertising/resume database access. Obviously there are arguments for and against charging advertisers for job ad posting and/or resume database access but I'm curious to know if the boards that do currently charge feel threatened by the new wave of social media (tiwtter etc). Anyone care to share their ideas? Continue

And then there were 2: Monster buys Hotjobs

Well, well well. The big 3 are now the big 2. Monster is buying Hotjobs. For us niche job boaders this is good for us. One less national site to compete with. Overall I think the bigger that Monster becomes the harder it is for them to compete with the small niche sites. But in the short term its a good acquisition for the boys in Maynard to expand their brand. Here's the press release: Monster to Acquire HotJobs Business and Enter into Multi-year TrafficAgreement with Yahoo! N… Continue

Online advertisement on shoestring budget

Finding the right advertisement platform and spending the right limit has been extremely challenging in this economy. I have been actively exploring to limit the marketing spending within the limited budget to gain the right return. May be a new trend of viral marketing practice has to be introduced, which should be based on the "on demand concept" and it should be easily adoptable by even startups or small business etc .

Are you Ready to Capture the New Talent?

January & February months are typically known as peak job-hunting seasons. Besides the unemployed candidates who were sadly affected by the recession in the last year, many other quality professional candidates will join the job hunting market in the next few months. Are you ready to snatch up the new talent before your competitors do? It is a known fact that many employed candidates either resign from their jobs at the beginning of the New Year or actively start pursuing lucrative… Continue

Does social media eliminate the need for job boards?

Does social media eliminate the need for job boards?

For the past 15 years, job boards have been a standard part of the job seeker and employer ‘tool kit’. And why not?: job boards have proved to be an efficient way for job seekers to locate hiring companies, apply for jobs, and get a resume in front of potential employers.

But now the onset of… Continue

Does your job board need a logo?

There are thousands of job sites out there. If you spend much time looking at them, like I do, you quickly realize that many lack ‘brand identity’. In other words, they’re forgettable. Try it yourself. Go to JobBoardReviews or Google “your favorite industry + jobs” and see what you find. I’m betting that (after you get past the aggregator and Big 3 listings) you’ll discover niche sites that look and feel, well, anonymous. So ask yo… Continue

Contextual Resume Parsing Software (Follow-up Query)

I'm still searching for anyone who can shed light on the "next generation of resume management software." An article written many, many months back [don't remember by whom, and unfortunately, can't find] outlined how resume parsing software uses a points system to analyze and grade resumes. A jobseeker holding a bachelor's degree or a certain amount of work experience for example would be given points. Those points were then calculated and the software would present the best candidates in the s… Continue

job boards and country domains

Hello boarders, Just wondering about country domains and some of the benefits for acquiring them. For global, industry-related, niche job boards is it important to acquire country domains? If you have 5-10 country domains does it make sense to re-direct them to the .com? What effect does this have? (Assuming the job-board is operating in English only) Or, should new pages be built for each country? and perhaps with new languages? I would think the local country domains can potentially… Continue

Death of Cheezhead

Managing the 2-job employee

The era of the two-job employee (let us call him “Sam”) has emerged as a result of the global recession. Sam is a new breed who developed entrepreneurial survival skills to battle the recession, and learned how find and keep a second job. You, the employer, do not need to be too alarmed if Sam takes on a second job as a baker, or a mechanic, because this would require Sam to be physically present at that location. However the situation is more complicated if Sam takes on a second job that he ca… Continue

Omne ignotum pro magnifico

Everything unknown is taken for magnificent. - is how it translates from Latin. In this context, I just read about it in The Red Headed League, Chapter II, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. But what is interesting besides the quote is that in the paragraph following, one Mr. Jabez Wilson, who is a pawn broker, - the date is 1890. The fascinating part, he is explaining how he runs a pawn shop, as the proprietor, he states, “I have a small pawnbroker's business at Coburg Square, near the… Continue
