Getting jobs from an employer and onto a job board has been a challenge from the earliest days of the industry. Initially, the only way to do so was manually – the employer filled out a web form and submitted the job ad to the job board. Needless to say, this method (which, of course, is still widely used) was time-consuming and provided many opportunities for typos, dropped information, and other inaccuracies.

Needless to say, job…

I wanted to share with you things I've learned to do and what not to do when it comes to starting or upgrading your job board.

What to do

• Research - This may seem like a no brainier, but very few actually do research on the industry that their job board…

For those looking for something other than your traditional job search or career book, take a look at my new novel called A Multitude of Hope. 

The book tells a tale ripped right from today’s headlines.  It involves three out-of-work Baby Boomers and a shadowy online group of workplace activists practicing “economic disobedience” against the vulture capitalists of American business.

There are underground databases, corporate moles, coded messages and anonymous threats, as well…

Every so often, along comes a bad actor to the job board industry. HireHealth.net created a new parasitic scam. The president, Jay Tokarz signed a contract on behalf of Hirehealth.net to cross post HireHealth.net's jobs on TopUSAJobs.com for an agreed cost-per-click price.

Between December and February 2012, Hirehealth.net accrued expenses of $45,000 and then refused to pay, and became unreachable by phone or Email. In February, we discovered that many, if not all…

The 2011 IAEWS Benchmarking Survey was a huge success, but don’t take my word for it.  Visit the IAEWS home page (www.EmploymentWebSites.org) and take a look at the video that’s posted there.  You’ll hear from the survey co-chair, Matt Hoffner of Jobg8.com, and from two IAEWS Members who participated in both the survey and the discussion forum on its results.  Steven Rothberg of CollegeRecruiter.com and Andy Hibel of HigherEdJobs.com provide…

Almost every week I see a blog post or tweet claiming that job boards are dead or dying.

We’re talking about the top source for hiring outside of employee referrals here. A tool that almost every employer uses to locate some or all of their job candidates. A fixture on the recruiting scene for over 15…

Last week I attended the IAEWS and ERE Expo in San Diego. Here's what I learned.

Here's my blogpost about the layoffs:…

I'm a stingy S.O.B. and I don't like to pay for anything, the versions that I use are all free!



I have used a LOT and I MEAN A LOT of Twitter Apps over the last couple of years, I've spent hours, no! Days on some of them. All in all it's been a great experience. I…
