Employers WANT Military!
Over the years I’ve experienced many companies who have successfully tapped into transitioning military talent pools. Veterans need jobs and companies want to hire them. So what’s the problem? 1) The language barrier: Military occupations in many ways are similar to civilian jobs although civilians don’t understand the military jargon and transitioning military unfortunately do not know how to appropriately package their skill sets, training and experience. Companies should... The Chad -

.jobs: Who does it benefit?
It’s back!! Yes, just when I thought I wouldn’t write about it again, the .jobs proposal has returned. If you’re not familiar with the .jobs initiative to create ‘a million’ new job sites, go here. In a nutshell, .jobs is a top level domain (TLD) originally created to serve employers’ needs – simply buy your .jobs domain (for example, www.jobboarddoctor.jobs), then use it to consolidate your hiring needs. Only one problem – out... Job Board Doctor -

Will ICANN step on a land mine with .jobs?
Ever since SHRM started pushing the benefits of allowing Employ Media to launch http://diversity.jobs, I feel differently about the .jobs expansion initiative. Why would SHRM pick on my small company? Over the years, my company has advertised in SHRM's magazines, on its website and exhibited at its conferences. So, why would SHRM want to throw my company under the bus? Our flagship websites are LatPro.com (for Hispanic and bilingual jobs) and DiversityJobs.com. Apparently SHRM thinks it can... InternetInc -

Opponents Launch Campaign to Stop .Jobs Expansion
As the clock counts down on the public comment period regarding the expansion of the .jobs Internet address, opponents this morning launched their campaign to stop it. Since this is being written on Friday, I can only tell you what’s supposed to be happening today: posts discussing the proposed .jobs changes should be appearing on blogs; tweets are going out to followers of some job board leaders; others are sending messages to their LinkedIn groups, updating their status on Facebook, while...

Disaster will strike – it always does…
I am an optimistic pessimist. In other words, I expect the worst to happen, and when it doesn’t, I’m pleasantly surprised. In fact, I usually try to act on my pessimistic outlook by planning ahead for disaster. This approach has served me well over the years in my roles as a marketer, product developer, company manager, and now solo consultant. But inevitably, disaster will strike. It struck my business recently – and I wasn’t prepared. Geez. You may have... Job Board Doctor -

What no job board wants to talk about…
As you might guess, I’m a great believer in the fundamentals of job boards. I’ve seen the emails from happy job seekers and employers extolling the many ways job boards can save users time and money. In essence, for many people, job boards work. But…there are things that job boards often shy away from – topics they don’t want to touch. Why? Because sometimes job boards don’t work. Perhaps there were unrealistic expectations. Perhaps there... Job Board Doctor -

The Ladders Begins Offering Sourcing Service
With the latest Business Roundtable survey of CEOs saying 39 percent of America’s biggest companies plan to hire in the next six months, recruiters can be forgiven for thinking of it as a mixed blessing. On the one hand, recruiters get to have fun again, doing what they do best: recruiting workers. On the other hand, it means downsized staffs will have to cope with increased workloads. Today, The Ladders, the job board for $100k minimum jobs, begins offering its contract customers a sourcing... ERE Job Boards -

Monster Offers Broader Features for Its Career Ad Network
Tens of millions of searches are conducted on the job boards every month. These are the active job seekers, drawn to one or another or, as is usually the case, more than one job board because, as Willie Sutton never said, that’s where the jobs are. But for every active seeker, there are many more who, if they learned of the right opportunity, might just be convinced to kick the tires. Reaching those millions of others in order to find just that one, perfect candidate, is a recruiting goal... ERE Job Boards -

How important are candidates?
Are candidates important to job sites? You’re probably thinking, “He’s kidding, right?”. Sadly, I’m not. For many job site operators, the focus is almost exclusively on employers – what they want, how they want it, how much they’ll pay, and so on. In a way, this makes sense – after all, for the vast majority of job sites, employers pay and candidates don’t. But step back for a moment – why are employers willing to pay... Job Board Doctor -
