There are thousands of opinions out there on what Google base is really doing, what is not doing, why itContinue reading “Google base and HR”
Job sites rankings update
I am really starting to question the validity of the listing produced in Interbiznet’s Bugler, which is based on the work from TopJobSites. Yes I know on the TopJobSites they have a disclaimer but still to have missed the number 1 job site in India given they make up such a large proportion of theContinue reading “Job sites rankings update”
Job sites rankings
Reading the interbiznet Bugler this morning I saw a rankings of top 180 odd job boards across the globe based on the data from Top Job Sites who are using Alexa traffic rankings for each site to come up with the list.

A $5,000 bounty, but does it work?
Seth Godin is looking for a chief engineer and is offerig a $5,000.00 Bounty (aka referral bonus) to anyone who find them for him to be paid 6 months after hire.
