Jobs Discussion board

Joel Spolsky has just opened up a new forum on his Joel on Software site for jobs in the software development field. Like all good sites it has an RSS feed.

There have been several posts over the last 48 hours in response to the new dot jobs domain on both sides of the argument. John Sumser from The Electronic Recruiting News provides a balanced view of the new domain and in the end determines that then new domain will not help job seekers. Gerry CrispinContinue reading “More on dot jobs.”

.jobs domain approved

It seems that SHRM has got their wishes for a new .jobs domain. Details of the SHRM release are here. I posted about this in December and had some concerns over the introduction and how it would operate. It will be very interesting to see how things play out in the coming months around registrationContinue reading “.jobs domain approved”

The power of the internet

On Friday morning I posted about Jobster and the misunderstanding many seem to have had about what they are trying to achieve. I also commented in the post that I would like to see what made them tick. About 4 hours later I got an email from Jason looking to hook up and show meContinue reading “The power of the internet”

What is Jobster doing?

The Jobster blog has linked to a item posted by Cote who was questioning the logic and design of Jobster. Jason Goldberg does a really good job of explaining why they are doing what they are doing. That is trying to tap into the passive job seeker. He also explains why they are not openingContinue reading “What is Jobster doing?”

Cost of online recruting?

Joel Cheesman has some interesting thoughts around using web analytics to help develop recruitment metrics. Great idea! Joel sees Google‘s purchase of Urchin as a step in the right direction. I agree with Joel’s view of both the recruiter and ATS’s in this matter. Most recruiters do not understand what can be done with technologyContinue reading “Cost of online recruting?”

Your online presence

Louise from BlueSkyResumes looks at ZoomInfo. She touches on some of the same items I did a week or so ago. What all these services are really doing is providing vertical search. There has been lots and lots of discussions about this in the last few weeks. What I don’t see is the traditional recruitingContinue reading “Your online presence”

Labour shortage will worsen

Hmm, it kind of sounds to me that our government is giving up on the issue, I know the words don’t say this but if I read between the lines it seems that it all might be too difficult. However, China and India will have lots of graduates, maybe all the work will be offshored?

Jobster has gone live

A new recruitment tool was launched overnight Jobster. They have been around for about 18 months and in the process raised $US10.5mil so what are they and what shall we expect from them? Jobster is a new online recruitment service that joins together social networking and your network of contacts. What? Personal referrals basically. TheyContinue reading “Jobster has gone live”
