Did anyone even think of ppc before google started rolling onto it…can u imagine where google would have been without the ppc thingy……

I agree with RealityCheck ,its not to be ridiculed

the biggest problem I face is the amount of unqualified resumes that come in. why would i pay $1 for each candidate when i could drum up a huge bill for poor resumes? i would rather negotiate a low per-job price with a mojor board and then weed through everything. Lets say I pay $100 per ad, and receive 200 resumes, thats only $50 per candidate…. get it?

remember, unlike consumer advertising, we dont want a ton of clicks, but rather quality. i dont want to get charged for a ton of poor resumes. just give me a low per job price and i am happy.

nice name…jobster… lol

The problem is most HR folks dont know PPA from their NDA. I think its an idea that is ahead of its time.

$1 seems reasonable for PPA for a job board…I think Jobster should be praised for trying this as a test…it’s just a test…not ridiculed

apparently, some of Indeed’s customers have shown interest in the model….maybe this will work, maybe not. I think it’s too early to tell
