heeere’s .jobs

June 19th, 2005

The wait is over. The .jobs domain is a reality.

With the official launch taking place at the annual SHRM Conference today, it is a time of great optimism - and at the same time a day of great skepticism - in the online recruitment community. (My fear is the largest percentage resides in the "Huh?" category - particularly with employers.)

Is it the backbone of a revolution that will bring the current infrastructure to its knees? A moderately successful venture that’s utilized by a relatively small percentage of employers? A total flop?

Only time will tell. Regardless, I predict a fun ride, or at least an intriguing one.

More later … I don’t want to water down this post with excessive opinion.
