SHRM Minutes Show Concern With Secrecy
From the beginning, SHRM’s .jobs advisory council agreed to veil its meetings in secrecy, withholding its minutes and cloaking the names of speakers with numbers. The minutes, released Wednesday, also show the council wrestled with the reasons why Employ Media, the registrar of the .jobs domain, was looking to expand its use and what value that expansion might offer the HR community. However, if the council at any time actually enumerated the specific benefits of allowing non-company names...  ERE Job Boards -

The recession’s legacy for job boards
Ding dong, the recession’s (not quite) dead! Every day I hear from another job site that their numbers are up, that more jobs are being posted, and that the general feel from employers is positive. Folks are breathing a little easier. So what effect has the recession had on the job board world? Fewer competitors: Those job boards who were overextended, underfunded, or just poorly run have gone by the wayside – which is ultimately a good thing. More competitors: Huh?... Job Board Doctor -

How Microsoft Does Social Recruiting
How does Microsoft find the talent to do cool things like develop a gaming platform, or perhaps make that platform operate without a controller like Project Natal? Marvin Smith, Talent Community Evangelist, talked with a group of approximately 80 recruiters in eastern Washington in an event organized by Rob Dromgoole at Pacific Northwest National Laboratories in Richland, Washington. In his presentation, Smith, true to his job title, spoke highly of being part of the recruiting community. He emphasized... ERE Technology -

.jobs domain expansion - all over but the clapping
Now that the ball is in ICANN's court, you can consider this a done deal (great reporting by John Zappe). ICANN has been trying to launch new TLDs like .books, .games, etc for ages. Their goal is to maximize the number of domains worldwide - that's how they pay their salaries and that's why .jobs domains like diversity.jobs are on their way to our neighborhood. Confusion in the marketplace between domains like DiversityJobs.com and Diversity.Jobs is not ICANN's concern. Five or ten years from... InternetInc -

.Jobs Expansion Program Includes RFP, Auction Sale of Names
The expansion of the .jobs Internet address has been given the go-ahead by the Society for Human Resource Management, paving the way for the launch of what could be hundreds of thousands of new job boards. SHRM made the announcement this morning. While the 7-1 vote by the SHRM advisory group and the subsequent ratification by SHRM’s executive committee are crucial milestones, the ultimate decision is up to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. ICANN, as it is known, is... ERE Job Boards -

Innovation Step 1
“Step 1: Get out of the fetal position!” I am asked on occasion why companies talk feverishly about innovation but hardly ever (if ever) put solid innovation schemes into play. FEAR is my answer. Pick whatever flavor you like: Fear of failure Fear of loss of standing Fear of risk Fear of conflict and the list goes on… The fear I’ve seen lately is fear of progress. Obviously progress is NOT bad, quite the contrary, although progress may impact current revenue structures... The Chad -

CareerBuilder Lets Job Seekers Know How They Compare
A few weeks ago, after President Obama announced new hiring rules for the federal government, ERE members worked him over pretty hard for insisting that job seekers be treated with courtesy. After 45 comments, the community settled down into camps: Group one is on the side of communicating with job seekers to at least acknowledge receipt of their application and to tell them when they are no longer being considered; group two seems to believe it would be a nice thing, but it’s too much trouble. No... ERE Job Boards -

Fundamental changes…or tempests in teapots?
People get bored. This is the number one reason that anything ‘new and shiny’ captures our attention. We get frustrated that what we’re doing is, well, kind of repetitive and doesn’t work the way we imagined it would. Then something new comes along and we think: Maybe this time things will be different! Maybe that software will really work. Maybe this really is the magic bullet. Or, maybe not. Honestly, I fight this type of thinking all the time. I’ll... Job Board Doctor -

Play Nice
Have you been kind today? Make kindness your daily modus operandi and change your world. –Annie Lennox I recently finished reading the book The Power of Nice. I especially liked this book, because not only was it written by two very successful women, it was written by people who work in the advertising industry. I work in the advertising industry, specifically in the niche area of human resource communications. As I was reading this book, I felt reassured in knowing there are people who...

Indeed's new crib
By virtue of living in Connecticut I get to mingle with some of our industry's most prominent executives and companies: Indeed.com, Jobtarget and Weddles. Last night in Stamford, CT Indeed hosted an open house to show off it's new offices... Its a very open space with few offices and no cubicles. Instead there are long rows of work stations where everyone sits. Lots of glass and sunlight permeate their 6th floor HQ. The local paper did a story on them la… Chris Russell -

The Recession’s Lasting Legacy for Recruiting
As the nation and the world emerge from the depths of the recession, labor economists tell us that this recovery will be slower and bumpier than most Americans living today can remember. Like the Great Depression of the 1930s, this one will leave its scars on the economy and the national psyche. Employers will feel its consequences rippling through their workforce and their recruiting efforts, with effects lasting for years, if not an entire generation. What are the consequences for employers?... ERE Job Boards -

The impact of freelancers on job boards
The length and depth of the recession has led to an increase in freelancers in many professions. In fact, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics claims that the number of people who became self-employed as a result of the downturn has more than doubled, to 1.2 million people. This trend has significance for job boards, and for several reasons: Many of the self-employed simply don’t use job boards anymore – they’re not looking for a job (they’re looking for...

Jobvite Offers Free Tool for Distributing and Tracking Job Posts
The last time I wrote about a product I found useful I got worked over pretty well. So you’ll pardon me if I’m little hesitant to say much about Jobvite Share. In fact, I’m pretty sure if I say how it can help you distribute and track the results of your job postings for free (really for free), someone will cite that as proof I’m in Jobvite’s pocket.

SHRM Mag Ad Promotes Posting Jobs to .Jobs Sites SHRM Group Is to Decide
The comment period to collect opinions on the future of the .jobs domain closes Friday. But a two-page ad in the recent Staffing Management magazine from SHRM seems to say the decision has already been made. The ad promotes the use of the planned series of job boards by the DirectEmployers Association. Against a snowy mountain backdrop, the ad lists a sampling of 18 of the planned “thousands” of job sites, among them Tokyo.jobs and Governmentconsulting.jobs. “Coming soon!,”... ERE Job Boards -
