Future of recruiting in Ireland
Over the next few years we’ll see a big change in how Employers hire, it’s already happening in the US where employers use
* Social networks as recruitment tools
* Using blogs to recruit
* The emergence of employer video & audio
I reckon in the not to distance future in Ireland we’ll see the end of the endless list of jobs on job boards (where it’s impossible to find a job) and the likes of Social Networks, Blogs and Video will be take over. The Bebo and Facebook generation will change this in the future I can see an explosion of new Web 2.0 sites in 2008.
Careerbuilder is aiming for $2,000 per job posting
Tony Roy is the managing director of CareerBuilder.co.uk, at a recent conference he said he’d prefer $2,000 job postings.
If he had his way, Roy said, each postings on a job board would be $2,000 or so. He pointed out that that recruitment agencies typically charge 18 to 30 percent of first-year compensation as their fee, and print ads often cost much more than $2,000 … there’s no reason online posting rats shouldn’t go up to $2,000 over time.
Of course there was a bit of flack for Mr. Roy but he reminded the audience that online postings at one time were about $100, and now are in the $450 range.
Time to go buy shares in a jobs website or start one from scratch I think.
New Job Hunting Concept
Here’s a jobs website with a difference, the site Tuglink.com is different because job seekers post jobs instead of companies.
The site allows job seekers tell what kind of jobs they want, and let companies find them. It’s a unique idea and something that could work.
Something I’ve always wondered is why Job board in Ireland don’t have a Jobs wanted section where companies can look up job seekers.
