2008 Prediction - A Year of Change and Disruption in the Online Recruiting Marketplace
2008 is the year where we have finally reached the tipping point. The point where the promises of these past Net recruiting solutions are shown to be out of favor with new methods emerging as forces in the marketplace. To those of us in the online recruiting strategy role this change has been underway for a few years now, but has yet to surface in the mainstream press in a big way. Plus we must face reality: the online recruiting marketplace is a multi-billion dollar business that feeds not just the employees of each online entity, but also the self-proclaimed gurus and media who are fed via speaking fees, advertising, etc. It is in the interests of several key groups to keep the multi-billion dollar recruiting industry beast fat and full of corporate cash.
Here are some of the factors which I believe will finally force the change:
Here are some of the factors which I believe will finally force the change:
- The results are so bad on many web 1.0 technologies (due to interstitial ads, bad candidate treatment on part of job boards and corporations) that no amount of spin can compensate. Corporate America is dropping the big board mega contracts.
- Tracking is here, and unlike the 90's, employers can more accurately calculate ROI
- There are other more cost effective choices - Indeed, SimplyHired, JobCentral Network to name a few and the traffic to the aggregators is rising 100% a year.
- The promises to Wall Street of mega profits by several players forces them to once again raise prices on a declining industry - even HR folks eventually "get it" that they are being had.
- The recruiting 1.0 folks have lost their cache with the Sr. Leadership of Corporate America - today the buzz is about Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn - not some job board created in the prehistoric 90's.
- The Employers are talking - not to their Recruitment Ad Agencies - But To Each Other!
I and many of my industry colleagues look forward to having a very public discussion this year of just how poor several of the the top branded sites work....






Hi Ray
Firstly - Great Blog - looking forward to engaging as 2008 plays out.
You're definately on the money wrt the major job boards and their incredible arrogance in light of the traffic trends. From my viewpoint - one of the reasons for this is employers inability to measure their various media spend/placement. Any thoughts on the best solutions for tracking & analysing this data?

I dont think so that this perdiction is going to be true in future, recruiting market is going wel still now.

yes, i like the way you express the matter. but the perdiction was not got true.

All celebrity PAs, with only a very few exceptions, have started as humble PAs and have demonstrated drive, ambition and dedication. Then they have risen through the ranks, going from being a PA to someone in the lower ranks, to being a PA to senior management.
However, many PAs have also started their working career in the music industry, whether working for record companies or in TV radio. They may start off in very lowly positions and then when a vacancy for a PA comes up, managing to secure the position. From there it is easy to get noticed, spotted or recommended and next thing you know, Madonna’s team are on the telephone, asking you to be a PA.

Wouldn't it me more effective if corporate recruiting sites would cooperate with universities? We should be aware that fresh graduates have serious problem into adapting to the real labor market and I think such a cooperation would only lead to positive things for both sides.

Thanks for the post. It's great

Your suggestion is excellent. With such collaboration fresh graduates will have so much know information and knowledge before entering into real world.

I liked all the tips offered. But personally I find them not complete enough to help a person modify his page content. If you really want to perfectly know the ABCs of webdesign, you can find some books here: http://www.picktorrent.com. Read them precisely and then get back to managing your blog content. Believe me, Netcipia is worth it!

Consolidation in the maturing on-line recruitment industry is inevitable. I agree, the weaker service providers will be found wanting & will be forced to exit.

I have always enjoyed recruiting, and while I believe that the industry has changed drastically, our concept is still like that feeling I got when doing a placement. When you hear that someone posted a resume on your social network and got a job, or an employer saved enough money using recruitment that they were able to pay the higher salary to an employee because they now saved that money in their budget by using our site, or that a recruiter was able to work with a company that they never could if they weren’t part of our job board

Many changes have taken place the past 12 months in recruiting, a close friend of my was a recruiter on contract in San Francisco and the market is in shambles - not enough work to justify a full time income plus the need for professionals have dwindled - the SEO industry is outsourcing all they can get, with little space for full time hires. We hope that 2010 sees a turnaround.
