about us
Launched in 2009 my most recent project is the JustJobs.com network -- a collection of job search engines developed by my company LatPro, Inc. for the USA. An innovator in the online employment industry, I launched LatPro.com in 1997 when it became the very first job board connecting Hispanic bilingual job seekers with recruiters searching for multilingual and multicultural professionals. LatPro is a charter member of the International Association of Employment Websites.

In 2006, LatPro launched DiversityJobs.com, its first job search engine for a wider audience of minority groups. LatPro's job boards are consistently ranked at the top having won WEDDLE’s User’s Choice Award for 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 – The Elite of the Online Employment Industry.

I have been writing about job boards since 2006 on my blog at InternetInc.com where you can read about my fascination with the free classified movement. JustJobs.com grew from this interest and a strong desire to create more value for job seekers, employers and job boards.

I think that depends on what you mean by successful... the vast majority of job boards in the US are still struggling in my opinion. Revenue is still down significantly at generalist and niche boards. As for relationships between generalist and nic…
