 Greetings and Best Wishes for a Happy, Healthy, and Profitable New Year:
How many job boards does it take to result in one great hire? Well, according to Peter Weddle (CEO and Job Board Guru), it takes 7 to accomplish this feat... 2 Generalist Sites (ie. Monster, CareerBuilder), 3 Industry-Specific/Niche Sites (ie. eMarketingSilo, DMA), and 2 Diversity Sites (ie. Women in Tech, Retired Brains)... Peter continues by claiming right now is an opportune time to advertise, regardless of if you're currently hiring or not. "The conventional wisdom-or at least the "wisdom" of the Finance Department-is that recruitment advertising should stop when hiring stops. The organization doesn't need candidates, they will argue, so why bother to recruit them. It's a waste of money when money is tight. This view has that inimitable bean counter logic, but as always, it's terribly shortsighted." Read full article... ClickZ has been keeping tabs on industry layoffs for a couple months. The page below contains an ongoing tally of layoffs and headcount reductions in the digital marketing and ad-supported media sectors. There's recruiters and hiring managers on this mailing list.
