Credit system for job board. Bad idea? Good idea?
employer must purchase credits in order to post jobs. Other sites have a
system whereby you simply select the type of job post ad you want, and
post it.
In my opinion, the credit system adds another level that can frustrate employers who want to get in, post a job, and get out.
I doubt many employers will ever stock up on credits, because everyone is
spending only what they need to post… Continue

Job board software – competition is good
Back in the early days of job boards, technology was fairly straightforward – you hired programmers, told them what you wanted, and they created it. As we moved past 2000, many job boards were adding
features piecemeal, updating their sites occasionally, and generally
moving forward in a hodgepodge fashion.
Job board software vendors first appeared around 1999, when Jobbex introduced its first pre-packaged offering. As the decade progressed, more vendors moved in, and at…

The problem of duplicate job postings
You know what gets a job seeker truly steamed? Clicking on a link for a job posting – and discovering that it’s exactly the same job he looked at a few seconds earlier. Same job, different listings =
unhappy job seeker.
How does this happen? Well, any job board that allows 3rd party recruiters to post their open positions runs the risk of duplicate postings. Let’s say that ABC Company has an listing for a mechanical
engineer. The HR person posts it on their…

When the card owner discovers the… Continue
