Full disclosure: I worked at Dice (now DHI) from 1997 through 2000. I don’t hold DHI stock, and have only fleeting contact with DHI personnel. Also, I’m not too excited about the DHI logo. So DHI, parent company of Dice,…

The results are in! Nearly 200 job boards, recruitment marketing companies, and related businesses responded to this year’s survey. As always, I think you’ll find their answers interesting and useful. Here are a few of the findings: Lack of candidates…

It’s been an interesting few weeks in the recruitment marketing industry – LinkedIn has been making moves, ZipRecruiter found some new funding, and…yes, there’s more. Something about AI. Let’s take a closer look: pymetrics raises $40M:  pymetrics, an enterprise SaaS…

Although most of the attention in recruitment marketing these days is on Google, Facebook, and Indeed, there is another big player: LinkedIn. In fact, long before we were shaking in our (virtual) boots over Google’s or Indeed’s latest moves, LinkedIn…

It’s been a while – but not too long – since I’ve looked at new sites and services in the recruitment marketing world. New ones roll out all the time, so I thought it was worth a look at some…

If you are like me, you sift through 150 or so articles a day about the HR and recruiting industry, looking for the ones that seem most relevant to our corner of it. Who got funding? What new product was…

So it’s the end of the summer and not much is going on in recruitment marketing, except a new CEO at CareerBuilder and an UpWork IPO and…well, maybe there are a few things going on! Let’s take a look at the latest:…

We’ve made a change in that may cause a hiccup for some of you. The unique number to identify jobs in JobScore was called a Requisition ID, and it looked like this: Today we renamed “Requisition ID” to “Job ID.” We made this change because soon well add a feature called “multiple openings per job” […]

Note: The Doctor is on a much-needed vacation this week. So enjoy this post from 2017 – and get ready for fall!   Since the beginning of the year there have been dozens of recruiting startups, mergers, and acquisitions. Google…

NOTE: A year ago the Doctor was on the verge of heading to the hospital. Afterwards, he wrote this. Today, he’s doing fine. But he thinks the post is worth a re-read! I almost died on Tuesday. Let me explain.…

News this month from players big and small. Every time I think the recruitment marketing industry is starting to slow down, it gets busy again. I guess I should just get used to it! At any rate, let’s take a…

Soon we’ll begin working on the approvals feature in JobScore. A key aspect of approvals is to have “pre-approved” offer ranges… this means your CFO could say that you can hire a Marketing Manager provided their base salary is between US$60,000 and US$80,000.

I am by nature a skeptic and contrarian. In general, these tendencies have served me well in my various careers. But they also can result in situations where I am surrounded by folks who are making big claims, and who…

To paraphrase a well-known movie/book, conferences are like a box of chocolates – you don’t know what you’ll get until you try one. Or something like that. The Jobg8 Summit last week in Nashville was a nice mix of old…
