About a year ago, I offered a guide to conferences for recruitment marketing folks. Now I’m packing up to go to another conference, and it made me wonder: why go to conferences? Why not just stay home and keep working?…

Geez! I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since I did a round up of new recruiting sites and services! So many services have risen, fallen, and been renamed. Well, I’m still going to give it a shot –…

Another month, another round of changes and action in the recruitment marketing biz! We continue to see companies try on new names and new identities, players big and small working hard to expand into new markets, and – of course…

You’re in a crowded saloon. The biggest, baddest gunslinger is lounging at the bar, regaling his compatriots with stories of how big and bad he is, about his millions of followers and billions in revenue. Then the door swings open.…

Over the years I’ve worked with a number of clients who are thinking about the next step. Sometimes that meant an acquisition. Sometimes that meant new staff, or additional marketing. But it usually meant – at its core – growth. These…

Operating a job board or recruitment marketing company can sometime feel like putting out a never-ending series of fires. Employer A’s jobs aren’t doing well. There aren’t enough candidate signups in Singapore. The job wrapping system suddenly broke – or…

The weather isn’t getting much warmer, but activity in the recruitment marketing biz certainly is. We’ve seen new rounds of funding, launches, and acquisitions – and that’s just in the last 4 weeks! So let’s get to it: Addeco buys…

How much do you know about your clients? I mean, really know? I was recently reading an article about Larry Smarr and his attempts to completely document himself and his health. He carries it to an extreme that no one you know…

For the past couple of years, I’ve been keeping a list of job board and recruitment marketing industry ‘transactions’ – in other words, when companies have been bought, sold, or merged. (And in case you’re wondering, I’ve counted 5 since…

Note: The Doctor is recovering from a bout with the flu – so this week we revisit the most popular post from 2017. Enjoy! Remember Google Base? Joel Cheesman does. “The company launched Google Base in the mid-2000s to much…

It’s been a busy month in the recruitment marketing biz (when isn’t it, actually?). Acquisitions, investments, and launches as usual – plus Monster’s exit from APAC. Let’s take a look at what happened: iCIMS acquires TextRecruit:  iCIMS, one of the major ATSs, acquired…

If you read much recruiting and HR press (like I do), you inevitably run into something odd: do employers actually care about retention, or not? On the one hand, there are tons of articles extolling the gig economy (maybe it…

A long time ago (no, I’m not going to tell you how long), I was give some excellent advice. Before buying a tool/car/software/etc., determine what you hope to do with this product. If you’re planning to write the great American novel, you…

JobScore has always been pretty good at detecting duplicates. When you try to add a new candidate we do our best to make sure they aren’t already in your account so everyone on your team can stay on the same page. That said, we’re not perfect and duplicates do happen. A few years ago we […]

It’s 2018 – do you know where your job board is? Oh, excuse me – your ‘recruitment marketing solution’ or perhaps your ‘sourcing solution’ or…well, you get the picture. I suspect that in 2018 we will see the continuing fade-out…

Note: The Doctor’s writing fingers are currently frozen in the deep freeze enveloping his home state…so here is a replay from March 2016. Enjoy! Seems like everyone and their donkey does a ‘what’s coming next’ post around this time of…

JobScore has always sent confirmation emails to candidates after they apply and we’ve given you the ability to customize the email. Some of you however, have been listening to your grandmother’s advice and want to customize the messages you send in confirmation emails per job. Good news! Now you can do that. To customize the […]
