If you’re currently shopping around for a new applicant tracking system, you owe it to yourself to checkout CATS, an open source, free-to-cheap offering. In addition to being easy on the wallet, the power of open source historically means the addition of new features on a regular basis. I also love open source for [...]

Thanks to Facebook mobile, I finally get it. Microblogging, the art of posting content at no more than a small number of characters at a time (say 200 or less) and made famous by Twitter, was a complete mystery to me when first introduced by the big win at last year’s SXSW.

Over the past few months, my fellow Xtra Cheezhead bloggers and I have offered various opinions about the use of Social Networking sites such as My Space or Facebook to make their hiring decisions. I myself continue to be opposed to the use of such tools as a determining factor for various reasons. I [...]

Earlier this week, Oodle touted their partnership to provide online classifieds to the New York Post’s Web edition. At hearing this, I was taken aback because I seemed to remember others partnering with them for job search. So, I investigated. Here’s a breakdown: Oodle only powers certain online classified categories, none pertaining to jobs. Adicio is the primary [...]
