Technology, innovation, and procrastination
When you’re in the midst of working, it’s hard to stop. The work can be both addictive and rote – a deadly combination if what you really need is an hour or two of quiet contemplation. Thus, the three words in the title above can often work at cross-purposes, even though each has its place. Specifically: technology is not necessarily the same as innovation. Let’s say that your job board is popular and well liked by candidates and employers alike. Let’s...  Job Board Doctor -

Thinking past dot jobs
With the .jobs expansion moving forward, it's time to think beyond the niche.jobs domain that you might or might not (probably not) obtain. At some point, there are going to be hundreds of new extensions including things like .resume, .engineer, .software, .microsoft and so on. The costs of defensive registrations and trademark infringement related lawsuits and processes like UDRP will be enormous. But, ICANN revenue will explode and the organization will grow (the real bottom line). What... InternetInc -

The Job Board Doctor goes to #truManchester
Thanks to the folks at Jobsite, I will be participating in #truManchester, another in Bill Boorman’s series of ‘unconferences’. Although an unconference sounds a bit chaotic (no Powerpoints, participants can move from track to track at will), past participants say that the meetings are fantastic for absorbing lots of industry information and getting one-on-one time with colleagues and experts. I’ll be facilitating tracks on Job Boards (imagine that!) and... Job Board Doctor -

Kenexa’s Profit In Line With Expectations
Kenexa’s second quarter financial report yesterday was a mixed bag. The HR technology vendor reported that it grew revenue by 14 percent over the same quarter last year, but it cut its full-year earnings per share projection by 7 cents at the top end. The company reported revenue of $44.9 million for the quarter ending June 30, versus $39.5 million in 2009. Profit was $1.7 million, slightly less than last year’s $1.9 million. After adjusting for such expenses as the cost of shares... ERE Technology -

Cool job sites – part 2
A while back I wrote about some job sites that I thought were ‘cool’ – in other words, unusual (in a good way), well designed, and ‘of a piece’. I’m always prowling for new ideas and different ways to tackle our industry’s challenges – so when I find a site that’s different, I want to share. Thus, without further ado, here are the latest round of cool job sites: Genotrope: Uses an ‘affinity’ engine to match candidates... Job Board Doctor -

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 -
