Download: Integrated Employment Branding Presentation Room 4 Improvement 2 (March 27, 2006) As we set about pulling this series together, it seemed a smart idea to gather input from bright minds around the industry. We asked a fair number of our colleagues to voice their opinions on the issues raised in the opening article. We'll be peppering the series with their responses. The first came from David Hurst, the publisher of OnRec, the hub of information about our industry. Located in the UK and having a thoroughly British slant, David is a powerful antidote to the leading edge dominated thinking here in the States. As in this case, he's often a soothing voice of reason.
David offers a powerful reminder that our universe is young and still developing. Monster has earned its dominant position by tirelessly educating customers. Only a very small portion of the available pie has even been sliced. The most widely heard complaint about Internet Recruiting technology (outside of the insider's knowledge that most commercial ATS installations are failures...see DubDubs) is the "firehose" question. It's a simple notion, really. Job boards produce such enormous response volumes that recruiters on the receiving end are overwhelmed. It's anecdotal but very widely cited. Old friend Don Ramer (CEO of Arbita) offers this insight:
We're tempted by a slightly different view. Job boards, per se, do a middling job of moderating the imbalances in supply and demand over the course of the business cycle. In a way, it's not their job. When the economy is weak and there are more job seekers than jobs, recruiters get buried in resumes. When the economy is strong and labor is scarce, recruiters get buried in resumes that seem to be from less qualified applicants. Our take is simple. Job boards are one tool in an arsenal. Tomorrow, more about the flood of applicants. . - ; PermalinkDon't forget to check out the blogs on bert.
