jobing acquires cheezhead
By Joel Cheesman - Before Twitter and Facebook, blogging was the quickest and cheapest way to create Brand You. So, when launching HRSEO in 2005, it was a no-brainer to blog in order to do those things, as well as create a positive image and maybe drive a sale or two. Any readers would have been a pleasant surprise, as I was focused on building a business and keeping a roof over my head. But readers came. And as they came, sales followed. And thus began how much of the next 4 years would play-out. What started as a simple subdomain on Typepad quickly became the stand-alone site you see here today.

And then, sort of unexpectedly, opportunity came knocking ...

By John Sumser - On September 23 and 24, I'm going to be in Toronto for the second annual Recruitfest. It's the RecruitingBlogs.com conference event. It's unlike any other get together in the HR - Recruiting - Talent Development industry. A regular review of the Recruitfest Facebook page will give you some idea of what's in store. Most conferences, inside and outside of the industry, follow the same old formula. You're either a presenter or you're the audience. Even the less structured unconferences have a hard time with the dynamic. The idea that authority figures have the answers is nearly hard wired. If that's what you're looking for, Recruitfest is the wrong place to find it.

By Chris Russell - Lately job board bashing seems to be all the rage in the recruiting blogosphere. This article is my attempt to set the record straight and dispell the myths and rumors out there. First, lets be clear about the term job board. There are many types of boards...general, niche, local, matching, etc. To classify all them as dying is stereotyping the entire industry. Fact is, there are many niche and local job boards who still have a lot of value to offer employers when it comes to recruiting talent.

31. August 2009
By Rathin Sinha - While this recession has affected many Americans, it has been especially hard for certain segments of the U.S. workforce. Diversity groups have lost more jobs than the average, and unemployment went up for veterans, older workers and workers with disabilities. It has also been very difficult for recent college graduates to find suitable employment. Clearly, there is an urgent need to cater to these special segments of job seekers with relevant job posting content and with the proper tools to find a job. However, there is no clear dominant player to help all these special groups in a meaningful way.

By Vanessa Dennis - Monster.com has tossed out MonsterTrak, their old collegiate stomping ground, in favor of a newly refurbished site that has more jobs, tips, resources, and networking capabilities. According to their website, MonsterTrak is now MonsterCollege. It's being touted as a one-stop-shop and community network for college students and grads. The main features include career tips, a networking community, and access to fresh hiring news. So what has really changed, and what can users expect to get out of the new site?
