The EERI Awards VI
The EERI Awards V
(January 31, 1997):Master Sites are the current backbone of job advertising distribution on the Web. The 1997 Electronic Recruiting Index covers and compares their features and pricing in great detail. Although it is confusing to have so many tools available, a job hunt will involve reviewing the material at some or all of these sites.
The January 5th edition of 1st Steps In The Hunt offers a single page that allows you to submit resumes and review job postings for each of the Master sites.
Master Sites
The competition is extremely fierce in this segment. It's liable to get more so. Basic features usually include job hunting advice, pointers to other Job Hunting resources, resume posting, corporate profiles, banner advertising, Job listings from other services (USENET), automated job matching "agents". These are the "one size fits all" offerings. Sometimes, a meager graphic interface hides a powerful job hunting tool.
Pioneer's Award
Margaret Riley's Job Guide is like the first Lewis and Clark maps of the great Midwest. We've given her a separate place in the hierarchy of EERI awards.
Best Job Seeker's Tools
Next week, we'll be announcing two additional categories of award: Job Seeker's Tools and The Best in each Category. One site insists on "sticking to its knitting" and only functions as a job seeker's aid. In spite of its emphasis on the San Francisco Area, Job Smart wins our nod as the best Job Seeker's tool on the Web. If Margaret Riley's Job Guide is the map, Job Smart is the user's manual.
The EERI Awards IV
(January 30, 1997):Two of the trends covered in the 1997 Electronic Recruiting Index are the formation of Recruiting Networks and the rapid "internationalization" of the industry.
Recruiting Networks
We're terribly excited about the possibilities of Network Recruiting. Essentially, companies band together under an umbrella and optimize the synergy of the whole. So, Entertainment Recruitment Network is a collection of Hollywood companies who consolidate their Electronic Recruiting efforts under one banner. What makes the arena interesting is that a band of small to medium sized companies can position themselves as an effective competitor with a larger entity. It's somewhat contrary to standard Recruiting practice with its focus on exclusivity and secrecy. The best players in this game use the resources of individual member companies to develop a pool of tools and candidate information that no individual player could develop on its own. If you're looking for solid clusters of job openings, try these Network Recruiting operations.
International Recruiting
It's easy to forget the there are non-American players in the game. Some of the major innovation in the industry happens overseas and is then appropriated in the States. If you're looking outside of the US, check these sites out:
The EERI Awards III
The EERI Awards II
(January 28, 1997): We're devoting this entire week to the listing of winners of our EERI (Excellence in the Electronic Recruiting Industry) Awards. Today's Items are from third party recruiters and corporate HR Departments.
In evaluating the various (over 1600) corporate HR sites, we found many dismal failures and some bright spots. Generally speaking, there is a qualitative difference between Recruiting done by technical firms and non-technical (service and manufacturing) companies. This discrepancy reflects both the demographics of the Web and the pace at which the various Industrial sectors embraced the technology.
So we split both corporate HR efforts and third party recruiters into Technical and Non-Technical sectors. The best recruiting sites, determined by our reviewers and juries were:
Corporations, Technical
Corporations, Manufacturing and Services
Recruiters, Technical
Recruiters, Non-Technical
The EERI Awards
(January 27, 1997):
A central component of developing the 1997 Electronic Recruiting Index was a detailed a disciplined review of the 3500 Websites in the Recruiting Industry at the end of 1997. Each site was reviewed against 10 criteria and given a grade.
At the very top of the heap were 100 sites that demonstrated Excellence in the Electronic Recruiting Industry (EERI). The Top 100 fit (sometimes neatly, sometimes not so neatly) into 15 categories. In each category, we will name a "Best In Class". This week, we're going to showcase those sites and their categories.
The award process was juried by a team of seven reviewers and four judges.
Educational Institutions
Often the very best place for a job hunter to begin using the net to find work, the Educational Institutions are an interesting category. Some are direct activities directed by career resource offices; some are commercial operations that provide services to colleges and universities; one used to be a part of Stanford's operations and appears to be becoming commercial. Given that simple description, the best Educational Institution sites are:
Industry Suppliers
An easier overall category to define, Industry suppliers are the firms that serve Recruiting companies and Recruiters. If you want to inderstand how recruiters (corporate and third party) think, take a look at these sites. The best entries are:
During the rest of this week, we'll lay out the other 85 of our Top 100.
