Job Board of success?

I was listening to radio broadcasts online recently and was surprised to hear publicly the founder of a large job board that only 12% of jobs through job boards met.

Not that this money was a surprise to me, both as a recruiter or a professional resume writer. E 'was easy to say that the owner of a job board, who has been with us employment in the sector has experienced.

Job Search

If you start a jobResearch, and his well is a bit 'you've done, it is easier and the new way to get. jobs boards, there are several advantages over old-style newspapers are:

greater variety of jobs
More Employers
You can spot / avoid recruiters

Well, all that is true. But the market reality of job search is that:

A third of the positions are never advertised: you are met by internalPromotion
A third candidate is met by the well-known work: they are either people from existing suppliers, business partners or rivals. This is the largest growing sector employment by companies that offer incentives for current employees to find new recruits, but that is about 8% of the labor market
GFCI third system satisfied by some form of job ad: by recruiters or 'networks of employers directlyAdvertising Jobs

Therefore, grabbed almost half of all market shares potentially available in about five years shows the success of the labor market on board, but had to be a disadvantage.

Jobs man cards?

As an application and verified by the system input is not made more of a human interaction, the average candidate an opportunity to others, all others are restricted. Therefore, the probabilityrejected above.

Many companies recognize the problem of human interaction with some form of experimentation in the appeal on the basis of a form of psychological theory. The idea is that only the type of people, both show the right skills and that, consistent with the organization's culture, to get the point in the process if the applicant interacts with an employee of the company.

Even if you are using psychological tests andScreening of what he says a company that wants to hire people, but he asks, only with computers, if they want to join them?

Jobs Board business model

The second major problem is the card business model work. Since the market is fairly easy to give - € 2,000 / $ 3000 or less - competition is tough. The result is that the model of a big deal, the product has survived where job seekers and, therefore, are offeredService for free. The money is part of the applicants from recruitment agencies and employers paid about access to the database of open-work profile and advertise.

However, because the competition is tough so the cost of advertising has been declining steadily, and then panels of the process owner needs new techniques to make more money. One of the simplest is to repeat the advertisement, or the number of "Buy One, Get X Free". Both techniques encourage advertisers always the same ads over and over and toss again.The result is that in a recent survey of regional labor markets, less than 20% of the text ads were both still open and the only copy of it.

Able to obtain the

The result of these two problems as the market was and the owner of the job board short, is that only 12% of jobs job boards are filled up. Job Board should not be dismissed from the job search, but maintain the possibility of beingused when you press the "click-to-Send". There are better ways and faster than one that used the best returns of 12%.

Good luck!
