According to an eBay blogger, job listings are going to be a part of Google Base.

Might be time to push that panic button at Monster … and every other job board in the country.

Also, more on this at Bambi Francisco’s blog.

And will continue to be a major advertiser if Google allows PPC ads to be seen on their new offering.

Maybe Indeed should change their name to Indead! Goodbye over priced job boards……

Peter-

Great one, indead, WHAT is their product? A mess and duplication of jobs from all over the net………give them 6 months…….

On Google, I have posted before on their brand, depth and the potential they have to dominate in all sorts of niches.

BUT……..do I think it will be an immediate shift of budget and ad spends from Monster and other boards, print, job fairs, billboards to Google……not so fast. Finding candidates and or finding people to BUY a product requires a marketing mix……..this is why Monster and several of the niches will drive value for years.

Monster has a great brand and apparently from their earnings report (surprised not one person from Jobster or on recruiting.com mentioned this), they are doing pretty well with expected growth into ‘06.

Thanks
