A new look for Job Board Doctor
Hey folks – it’s a new look for the Job Board Doctor! I’m now on the Thesis framework (thanks, Eric) and – although it’s not done – I’m inching toward a final revision. Haven’t quite figured out how to integrate my logo – it may not be possible, given the design, but we shall see. So…what do you think? Likes? Dislikes? Suggestions? Comments? Let me know!

Monster’s Financials Better Than Expected; Year Ahead Brightens
Were it not for one-time expenses in the not-yet-completed HotJobs purchase, Monster broke even in the 2nd quarter. But even considering the $5.2 million expense, the recruitment advertising company still managed to do better than the consensus of Wall Street analysts. Analysts expected a loss between 3 cents and 5 cents a share on revenue of $216 million. Monster, which reported its financial this afternoon, came in at break-even on earnings per share and $214.9 million on revenue. Counting the... ERE Job Boards -

.Jobs Expansion Is On Internet Board’s August Agenda
The Internet’s naming authority will take up the controversial plan to expand the .jobs addresses at its Aug. 5th telephone conference. The agenda of the board of directors of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers was released a short while ago and includes consideration of the proposal. Also on the agenda for the three-hour meeting is the even more controversial proposal to approve a .XXX extension for porn sites. For obvious reasons, that request has garnered wider public...

Taleo Grows Revenue; Beats The Street
HR software vendor Taleo grew its revenue and customer count during the second quarter of this year and though it also grew its net loss, the company beat Wall Street’s earnings estimates. The company reported this afternoon that it lost $1.4 million, up from just $113,000 in the same quarter last year. Stock options and costs relating to previous acquisitions totaling $6.9 million were responsible for the loss. Not including these expenses (which analysts don’t include in their... ERE Technology -

Looking for a job as a chef in the Antarctic? Try looking here. Or if you’re a recruiter looking for an experienced vuvuzela sales person, then this South African job site is one place to start.

SimplyHired added South Africa and Argentina to its roster. Indeed added 24 countries. In five years the two job... ERE Job Boards -

How to make money – revenue models for job boards
I’ve been cataloging job boards for the past two years (for obvious reasons), and frankly, I’ve been surprised at how many sites rely on candidates for their primary revenue stream. Making money, of course, is always a primary focus for job board operators; after all, job boards are businesses, and if businesses don’t turn a profit, they disappear. So inevitably, anyone entering the industry will ask: “How can you make money with a job board?” The... Job Board Doctor -

Privacy, Transparency Being Addressed By New Facebook Sourcing Tool
I had an informative, and reassuring conversation this morning with the founder and head of BranchOut, a Facebook app that I wrote about yesterday, which has a potentially valuable future as a sourcing tool. Rick Marini, an entrepreneur with an impressive pedigree, was concerned enough about the transparency issues I raised in the post, that he pinged me to clarify a few things. What he said was encouraging. “We are very aware of the privacy issues,” he said at the outset of our conversation... ERE Job Boards -

Being social isn’t enough
Sorry to tell you this – but job boards are businesses. They make money. They produce results. Why are these statements such a shock to social media enthusiasts? Just like Apple and Google, job boards rely on customers who pay for results. Perhaps there’s the rub – most social media tools and sites are free (at the moment). Since job boards aren’t free, they are by nature less lovable and effective than (insert the name of your favorite social media... Job Board Doctor -

Hundreds of Comments Flood in as .Jobs Comments Close
If the sheer number of comments decided the matter, the proposal to expand the use of .jobs addresses would be DOA. In the week since opponents of the plan launched a campaign against it, more than 200 comments were posted to the public forum run by the group that will decide the matter. Not all the comments opposed the expansion; however, most did. The majority appear to stem from an email campaign launched by the International Association of Employment Web Sites, the trade group for the world’s... ERE Job Boards -

Fear
Many job board operators are fearful of the .jobs expansion. The value we provide to job seekers and employers flows through our domains whether we like it or not. Many of us chose those domains long before we knew what we were doing or where our businesses were going. But we know domains are important. And we care deeply about anything so central to our businesses because this is our livelihood. As entrepreneurs the health of our businesses shape our lives and our kids lives and last but...
