I'm looking to put together a list of job board blogs. Add a link to yours here.
Blogs are a great way to make announcements, news or just talk about the industry. Its also a must for SEO. If your board doesn't have a blog, start one today.
We have a blog for JobsintheMoney, which is focused on career-related news & advice for finance and accounting professionals. It's found at: http://jobsinthemoney.blogspot.com/. Traffic to the blog is much smaller compared to our main news section, but it's growing quickly. We launched it about a year ago.
Each and every Jobing.com location has it own blog. For example, the Phoenix, Tucson, San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside, Las Vegas, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Orlando, Palm Beach, Tampa Bay, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Milwaukee, New Mexico all have blogs for respective cities. Do you dare list them all???
MinnesotaJobs.com Blog informs Minnesota job seekers and employers about employment trends (local and national) and issues with online job search and recruiting.
Hey Chris, please remember to send me the link to the list when you are ready to publish. I'll stick on RecruitingBlogs.com -
I think though it is important that people with blogs remember that just having a blog that promotes your own business is not really a blog as far as I am concerned. You need to link to others and write about things for the most part that have nothing to do with your own company but rather the industry that you operate in. for instance, there is a blog someone listed here that does nothing other than to promote itself (99% of the time). Then you can look at Toby Dayton's blog Diggings and it is full of stuff that has nothing to do with his own company - That is a real good thing an keeping in line with a blog. I suspect this is why it has been nominated for one of the best recruiting blogs of 2007
I have not looked at the rest of the blogs listed here in this thread but I will now. - Blogs help business. You should all start one.
I have had a blog since March of 2005. It is a challenge to post things frequently, but I do my best put something up at least once a week. I have found that I tend to blog about leadership issues more than anything else.
We have a content portion of our site that we had custom built to hold interviews, news, trends, studies, podcasts, etc. We are about to put it on a wordpress platform to make web 2.0 interaction better without having to pay to recreate the wheel since it's already dialed in. Fantastic!
Sunoasis Jobs has a blog called the Sunoasis Joblog that keeps up on what is going on in the publishing world. It links to interesting articles and has some comment. It's at: http://www.sunoasis.com/jobblog.html
