I do wonder when enough is enough in the niche/regional job boards arena but I guess we are not there yet as Jobsreel seems to have completed a very soft launch. I say soft as I’m not really sure they have launched, they only have 1 job listed, and it’s one of their own.
They do have a twist to the whole job board thing, more video interviewing.
You create a video profile (resume) which is kept online for 12 weeks (hmmm not sure about that) and be available the recruiter or employer of the jobs you apply for. The second part is the ability for the recruiter/employer to ask applicants up to 5 questions which they have 30 seconds to respond.
If an employer wants to ‘interview’ you, this can also take place online using video.
Nice idea, but not sure it will take off.

I think the idea is a good one and will eventually take off.
Check out the founders profile…nice boardroom attire. He started the site because of being rejected 83 times??

The thing about most niche boards is the fact that they produce better quality candidates then general job boards and employee referrals.

I have checked it out and signed up as a member to see what benefits there are for me. It holds a content management system style layout with clear options for me to use as a member. I can record my profile, save jobs and very easy to change my details if required to.
It definately doesn’t seem as cluttered as many of the other job sites out there. Can’t wait to see what it will be like when there are jobs posted.
The director really needs to change his photo though.
