Did you think that just because it was February oozing into March that our industry would slow down? Well, if you did, you were wrong! Acquisitions and funding continue apace, and companies from outside the industry (think WeWork) are moving…

I was in Barcelona last week (I know, the life of a Doctor is hard :-)) attending and speaking at the RecPlus conference. It was an eye-opening experience – and one that I highly recommend. The content was top-notch, the…

Note: The Doctor is away at RecPlus this week, so enjoy this post from last year! As long as I’ve been in this industry, there have been the ‘big boys’. The companies that have grabbed attention, market share, and investment.…

One of the recurrent features of my consulting life is someone – a close friend, a new acquaintance, or a potential client – asking me: ‘So what exactly do you do?’. If I say, ‘Well, I’m a consultant’, that often…

Let’s face it – most of us in the industry are NOT LinkedIn, Google, Facebook, or Indeed. We just aren’t. Perhaps we’re on the road to getting much bigger (looking at you, ZipRecruiter) or perhaps we hope we’ll be acquired…

Forward Candidate is one of the oldest pages in JobScore. The page is not widely used, but those of you who do use it, love it… and have been asking us to make a few improvements for a while. Your primary requests are: Forward candidate templates that pre-populate text to use at different stages of […]

Apparently the Polar Vortex – although causing great misery in the Doctor’s neck of the woods – had no effect on the recruitment marketing industry. There have been sales, funding rounds, layoffs, and much more. So what happened? Glad you…

Sometimes you need to hire multiple people at the same time for the same role – say 3 customer care representatives for a call center. Until today, to do this in JobScore you’d visit the hire candidate page and click to “keep hiring.” JobScore would create a copy of the job; move the hired candidate […]

A couple of times a year I do a guest lecture in a college class at my alma mater that focuses on creative and non-traditional careers. It’s always interesting because it puts me in direct contact with some very smart soon-to-be…

First movers define categories. This is a given in marketing, and we have seen it over and over in our industry. The ‘classic’ job board is defined by Monster of the ’90s and ’00s – chock-full of job ads, interstitials,…

We recently added the ability to create, send and e-sign offer letters through JobScore. As we’ve been helping you add offer letter templates to JobScore we bumped into a problem. Many of your offer letters are complex documents with entire sections of text that you add and remove on a case-by-case basis. For instance, depending […]

Back in October I took a look at some new and interesting recruitment offerings. Well jeez, that was last year! So I figured it was time to take another look at what has been popping up in our industry. In…

Welcome to 2019! This marks the JobBoardDoctor’s 10th year publishing news, opinions, and providing consulting services. It’s been fun – and I hope (occasionally) informative. Here’s to another 10 years! In the meantime, our industry continues forward. A survey came…

Ah, conferences – fighting with hotel Wifi, getting lost late at night trying to find your room, or reaching the free food table just a few minutes after they take the goodies away. Yet still we go because a good…

It seems that 2018 was the year that – once again – job boards failed to die. However…they certainly did evolve. And although there was a lot of startup activity as well as developments with established niche sites, it was…

Note: It’s the day after Christmas and the Doctor is undoubtedly asleep with visions of sugarplums dancing in his head…or are those programmatic ads? This is a replay from last year. Enjoy! It’s impossible to escape holiday music. Radio stations…

It’s the end of 2018 – so are things slowing down? Well, not exactly. Money continues to be raised, a site goes down, and some other sites are expanding. Let’s take a look: Jobindex revenue up: Danish job board Jobindex reported…
