Juicy Tidbits

• Add USA Today's late August story on electronic recruiting to your clipping file. The article cites statistics and cost-of-hire reduction stories to bolster on-line recruitment advertising sales pitches. The article claims that "Twenty-six percent of the 2,900 executives surveyed by Management Recruiters International say they use the Internet to recruit workers".

• US Resume offers yet another resume database. Have your researchers check it out. Tell them to enter "X" in all the blocks on the registration form.

• We're puzzled. We were certain that Respro would be some sort of Resume service. It turns out to be a provider of gas masks for daily use. Our question, though, is why so few recruiting sites use the Respro design style. Given the demographic dip, low unemployment rates and fashion tendencies of the 20 year-old set, we'd expect a more focused outreach to entry-level talent. Is online employment advertising doomed to the tombstone status it inherited from print media?

• JobBank USA has unfurled a major set of new services. We're currently giving them a thorough going over and will report back. Meanwhile, you may want to check them out.

Regionalizing

Again, the idea that the competitive arena in employment advertising can be defined by simply looking at sites with current job listings is extremely suspect. CitySearch offers a platform that is just a sales force away from a solid regional presence. Regionalization is a daunting prospect and needs the kinds of wraparound services that an operation like CitySearch provides.

Netshare

Back In The Saddle Again

We're finishing the research for the 1997 Electronic Recruiting Index which will include reviews and evaluations of over 3500 employment related websites. The market is absolutely exploding. The book (available late-November) will also include an in depth analysis of the changes from the past year, future trends and market opportunities. The 1997 Electronic Recruiting Index will supplement and expand on the material in our earlier publications. We see the project as "Part 2" of an ongoing series. As you might expect, we will be revisiting our ratings of the top Recruiters on the Net.
