What do you get if you can’t articulate what you want? Sometimes you get a surprise, as in: ‘Just get me something that tastes good’, and you are presented with ‘liver an onions cooked 7 ways’ (apologies to those liver…

It is actually a bit insane how much has happened since my last news roundup! Recruit/Indeed seems to be bingeing on acquisitions, money is being raised by many at a fair clip, and Google is playing with the jobs stuff…

Note: The Doctor is recovering from the holiday (and too much house painting!). Enjoy this still-relevant post from last year: A fundamental challenge for our industry is discovery: how do candidates and employers discover each other? You can argue that job…

Starting today, job seekers will no longer be able to import their profile to apply for a job on JobScore. Our Import with LinkedIn feature helped set an industry standard: it’s been live since 2008 and has been used by nearly half a million job seekers! Here’s what’s up: We’ve formalized and are extending our […]

Although I’m hardly a LinkedIn fan-boy, I’ve found their strategy since acquisition by Microsoft quite interesting. As many predicted, they’ve become enmeshed with Microsoft’s various enterprise products. But they’ve also continued to grow their own product via what I call incremental…

This is starting to feel like World War I: ‘Great’ powers, aggressive tactics, and a desire for world domination. Yep, I’m talking about the recruitment marketing industry. In case you didn’t hear, Recruit bought Glassdoor last week. Many incisive analyses…

We’ve been working with customers who do business in the European Union to meet their GDPR compliance obligations prior to the May 25, 2018 deadline. We’ve just updated our articles on how JobScore is helping employers prepare for the GDPR and our GDPR checklist for recruiters and HR. We also just launched a self service […]

The post GDPR Compliance appeared first on JobScore.

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. Sites like Monster, OCC, LinkedIn, Indeed,  HotJobs, and CareerBuilder. They sought the #1 position and told…

Here in the northern hemisphere the grass is finally getting green and (occasionally) we have a nice sunny day. What’s it like where you are? Well, regardless of the weather, the growth of the recruitment marketing industry continues. Let’s see…

Hey folks, in a few months I am heading off to the Jobg8 Job Board Summit, July 26-27, in Nashville. Why? Well, they invited me to put together the agenda and speaker list – so I kind of thought I…

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…
