How job seeker behavior affects job boards

As anyone who has tried to lose weight or exercise regularly will attest, changing your behavior is hard. You’re fighting years of mental and physical conditioning – and (unfortunately) many times the old habits win out.

That was the challenge that job boards faced in the mid-90s – how to change the ingrained behaviors of job seekers, to move them from searching want ads in the newspapers…to searching want ads online. It took many years, but eventually job seekers did change their… Continue

bad karma on twitter for entrepreneurs

At first, I thought Twitter was foolish, then, I tried it and became enamored. About six months later, I lost all respect for Twitter. A few months more, and I can finally see its strengths and weaknesses in balance.

The strengths are pretty easy - meet and interact with new people that interest you, market yourself, get to know your "friends" better, know what's going on right now and eavesdrop on conversations you'd never be privileged to hear in any other… Continue

What is an API

ou may have heard the acronym "API" before, so what is it, and how it is used in recruitment. An application programming interface (API) is a set of programming instructions and standards for accessing a Web-based software application or tools. Software providers can release their own API to developers/clients/users, so they can develop and design products powered by the remote service.

An API is a software-to-software interface - NOT a user interface. With APIs, applications talk to… Continue

Job Searching via Twitter

Job searching has evolved from newspapers to job boards, and now evolving from job boards into social networking sites including Twitter. Job seekers can use this medium thanks to new content aggregation sites such as TwitterJobSearch, HashJobs and various other sites.

When users post a tweet, they can add a hash tag with more information. These hash tags can be used by the Twitter Search to search for content. Hash tags relating to jobs include: #job, #jobpost, #naj (need A Job?),… Continue

The Twitter job boards

First came Twithire, then Jobshouts and now TweetMyJobs.

All 3 sites rely on twitter for traffic. This latest site attempts to be more comprehensive than both by creating Twitter feeds based on location and industry. After trying it out I discovered that not all locations or industries were represented. They ask people to "suggest" categories which I dont like. You… Continue

Hello to everyone :-)

Just wanted to drop a quick note to talk about our project over at JobShouts What started out 2 weeks ago has been somewhat overwhelming. From the start we wanted to be disruptive. Taking on the large boards, and their inflated costs, Jobshouts was formed.

I found my way to this site via google and seeing who was talking about us. I had no idea that there was a job board community. how cool :-)

The site is open source board software from… Continue

Twitter + Job Board = Jobshouts

This is an interesting site. JobShouts is a web 2.0 job board that combines twitter and jobs. its a little different than Twithire which just retweets the job url.

Jobshouts lets you post the entire job and provide an email address for people to apply to. Then it posts the job to jobshouts.com and tweets the job title to Twitter.

Interesting concept (its free) and starts to make me think… Continue

Using Twitter to push jobs

While at the ERE in San Diego this past week I discovered Twitter. I had heard about it before and even took a brief look at what's going on there but never thought of using it as a way to promote my job board postings. Until I saw a job board feeding it's RSS feed through a service called TwitterFeed.

It is was not that hard to setup and it works really well. Twitter users are used to micro blogging 140… Continue
