Today's episode is special to Cohosts Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter as we take a moment to mark the passing of good friend and industry icon, Art Koff of RetiredBrains.com. Art passed away days shy of his 88th birthday, peacefully and at home. We will miss him, but he left the world a better place.
Our guest today, Tobias Zimmermann of The Stepstone Group, is one of those rare people who are both passionate and have tremendous expertise for the job board / recruitment marketplace industry globally. He shares with us what he sees coming over the coming months and years in various markets. Spoiler alert: he's optimistic.
We also dive a little into the recent news about Google killing its Job Ads product before it could even get into beta and discuss the importance of keeping Tobias well-hydrated with some delicious beers local to Dusseldorf, Germany.
Well, what seemed to be a pretty uneventful day in the world of job boards and other recruitment marketplaces has proven to be anything but uneventful.
Google has yet to confirm the news, but those in the know are reporting that it is killing the product-like ads that it was testing adjacent to the Google Jobs interface.
Join Cohosts Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter for this breaking news episode of the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast to learn what we're learning in real time. We don't think that this will be a date that will live in infamy, but it will be a date that those in our industry will be talking about for a long time.
One of our cohosts, Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group, is home in warm Orlando, Florida while the other, Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter, chose to work remotely from working remotely way up in northern Minnesota on the shore of Lake Superior. Which one is the wiser? Perhaps neither.
Today's guest is Jelmer Ziudema of Roadtrip Agency, which helps employers and other job advertisers save money by better understanding where their best applicants are coming from. Clicks from a job board / recruitment marketplace to the job on the ATS are nice, applications are better, and applications that are moved forward in the ATS are even better. With Roadtrip, employers have that data at their fingertips, and can share that with their media partners so they can do a better job of sending better qualified candidates to their employer clients.
Chances are that you've at least considered attending at least one industry-related conference this year, whether you're new to the job board and recruitment marketplace industry or a grizzled, old veteran like our Cohosts, Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter.
Each event has its pros and cons. Some are primarily attended by those who are local to the venue while others attract attendees from around the world. Some focus on the content delivered by the speakers while others emphasize their exhibit halls. Some are low-cost, low-budget affairs while others are expensive and held in swanky venues. And the focus can vary from being just about our industry to the broader talent acquisition technology industry to the broader recruiting industry or even to just about anything related to human resources.
But which are the best? In today's episode, our Cohosts talk candidly about why they go to some, and why they avoid others. Some of what they share may surprise you.
In our last episode for 2023, Cohost Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site is joined by Jobrapido's Ani Sargsyan, Sales Director - North America and Strategic Partnerships.
Ani's years of experience in our industry and work with one of the few global aggregators provide her with great insights into the growth and decline of our industry, players in our industry, and products sold by those employers. What caused the 2023 recession in our industry? Are we now out of it? Does that differ in different areas of the world? And why does Jobrapido use a fundamentally different way of matching candidates to jobs than its competitors?
Just when you thought the holiday season couldn't get any better (worse?), along comes a show about job boards / recruitment marketplaces full of predictions for what our industry will experience in 2024.
Will it be the best of times? Will it be the worst of times? Will we be sued by the estate of Charles Dickens? No one can know, until they watch the episode, that is.
Join Cohosts Peter Zollman of AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter as they do their best, which shockingly may be good enough, to peek around the corner and reveal what we can all expect over the coming year.
Huge news from Indeed, the company that popularized performance-based pricing for job posting ads: effective December 18th, it will cease selling postings on a cost-per-application (CPA) basis.
Cohosts Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter are joined by Jeff Dickey-Chasins a/k/a The Job Board Doctor, for what promises to be a lively and perhaps even informative discussion about why Indeed is reversing course and the ramifications for them, the industry, and other stakeholders.
Richard Collins is a serial HR / TA Tech founder and investor with three successful exits: Jobsite Worldwide, R21media, and ClickIQ. His new venture, CV / Resume Wallet, is a talent marketplace.
Job seekers use a blue tick verification to prove their credentials and have ownership and control of their personal data. Recruiters programmatically source and invite qualified applicants to apply to jobs.
Job seekers are rapidly adopting generative AI, CV data can no longer be trusted, matching tech is failing, and employers are being overwhelmed with floods of generic-looking CVs. To solve these issues, Richard's team is building trust through verifications of skills, qualifications, and experiences.
Cohosts Peter Zollman of AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter also learn how that entire, core, programmatic sourcing product will be automated: advertisers will simply provide a feed or API of their jobs, budget, and how many qualified applicants they would like on each.
Anna Maybank is the CEO and Cofounder of Breakroom, a UK-based, VC-backed, job search platform for frontline workers. Without a doubt, she brought the discussion with Cohosts Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group (Marketplaces / Classifieds) and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site to a much higher level.
Since 2020, 700,000+ employees have rated 5,000 UK employers on the site. Breakroom uses that data to help candidates understand what a job might really be like before they apply and supports employers in communicating and distributing their employer value proposition.
If learning more about frontline employment and Breakroom's impending expansion to the U.S. isn't interesting enough, wait until you hear about how Breakroom is seeing wild success on TikTok.
Before Breakroom, Anna sold her last startup, an editorial software company, to Condé Nast and co-founded Bethnal Green Ventures, one of the first impact VCs in Europe.
Google Jobs just released the most significant change to its user experience in seven years. The impact on the organic traffic that Google delivers to job boards will likely be massive and, to many, not the news they were hoping to hear.
Learn about the changes and their likely impact on your business in this breaking news episode. Cohosts Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter are joined by Alex Chukovski, Founder of crypto-careers.com; author of the forthcoming book, "ChatGPT Undressed & Unadorned"; and consultant to employers, job boards, and job board software providers.
Albert Bielinko is a Partner in Australia-based Telstra Ventures.
Telstra's mission is to invest in market-leading, high-growth technology companies. They target innovative companies that: (i) are typically in the enterprise SaaS, mobile, cloud, marketplace, analytics, Fintech, cyber security, IOT, media, consumer, etc sectors; (ii) are managed by lighthouse entrepreneurs; and (iii) typically have between $2M to $50M in revenue. They have invested US$700M+ and generally invest US$3-12M per deal.
In today's episode, Cohosts Peter M. Zollman of the AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter learn why Telstra has taken positions in several companies in our industry.
Radancy, one of the world's largest employment advertising agencies, is continuing to evolve into more of an HR tech company.
Over the past four years, it has acquired programmatic job ad distributor, Perengo; employee referral program, Firstbird; candidate relationship management (CRM) Ascendify; and today virtual career fair Brazen.
Cohosts Peter Zollman of the AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter discuss on this breaking news episode the impact of Radancy's moves on the job board / recruitment marketplace industry.
The company has been operating in the online recruitment market since 2006. In its 17 years of existence, the company has gone from a startup founded by students Roman Prokofyev and Eugene Sobakarov to a global employment platform, a search engine where all vacancies are collected in one place.
Similarweb ranks Jooble in the top 10 websites in the world in terms of traffic in the Jobs And Employment segment.
Dmytro Gryn is CEO of Job Aggregation for Jooble. In today's episode, he shares with us the trends he sees in job aggregations and what plans Jooble has to further grow its business in an already highly competitive space.
Oh, and you'll love his answer to Cohost Peter M. Zollman's question about when Jooble will overtake Indeed. Well, at least Cohost Steven Rothberg did, but he thinks you will too.
Appcast, arguably the world's leading programmatic job ad distributor, purchased on July 10th Bayard Advertising, one of the world's leading employment advertising agencies.
The acquisition sent shockwaves through the world of employment advertising agencies, as suddenly many found themselves relying on technology controlled by what had been a software company but was now also a direct competitor. Appcast, however, brilliantly reached out to every one of its employment ad agency customers just prior to the announcement to explain it and offer three-year contract extensions under the same terms.
Yet there was silence from Appcast about its job board customers who also used the same software to buy traffic from Appcast the same way. Why? Sometimes, silence speaks volumes. If you've been wondering why Appcast was silent to its job board customers, this is an episode you can't miss.
October is widely known for a few things: when the seasons change, pumpkin-spiced flavored coffee at Starbucks and just about everywhere else, and conferences. Lots and lots of conferences.
Your favorite Cohosts, Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter get together in this episode for a chat about all of the great recruiting conferences that happen at this time of the year, and some of the conferences that somehow happen at other times of the year.
If getting together with your friends and peers at other organizations sounds appealing to you, then this is an episode that you won't want to miss. And, speaking of missing something, which conferences do you like?
Cohosts Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter welcome today's guest, Kaare Danielsen, the Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and original programmer of Jobindex, the leading job board / recruitment marketplace in Denmark.
Jobindex is an outlier. While almost every site in our industry wants more, organic (free) traffic from Google either through its traditional, search results or its Google for Jobs interface, Jobindex is fighting Google to try to stop it from including in its search results job content from Jobindex.
In today's episode, Cohosts Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter interview Louise Grant and Louise Triance, Co-Founders and Directors of Job Boards Connect.
Louise and Louise share with us a little about their backgrounds and how they came to partner together on the London-based events. We then discuss how the relaxed, chill atmosphere is deliberate so that attendees don't feel that they're constantly being pitched to by vendors and potential partners. Finally, we have a good discussion about what to expect at this year's annual event, which will take place on October 12th and that, at the time of the recording, only 10 tickets remain available.
In today's episode, Cohosts Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site welcome Brad Boggs, formerly of Diversity Jobs Group and Circa, a part of Mitratech, and, for the past 1.5 years, College Recruiter.
Brad talks a little about his career journey; why College Recruiter has chosen to take a more global, programmatic approach than many of its competitors; and what we can each do to make the industry work better for both of our customer groups: candidates and employers.
Dan Quigg is the CEO of Public Insight Corporation, which provides strategic market insights that optimize talent acquisition strategies and improve employer recruiting effectiveness.
Public Insight provides to staffing and recruiting firms, talent acquisition professionals, and career and workforce development planners the data to obtain a 360-degree view of the most recent job market data across job postings, resumés, market skills and education, compensation surveys, employer ratings, and educational programs.
In today's episode, Cohosts Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter discuss with Dan questions such as the role of market data in recruiting and recruitment technology and how much of the publicly available data is unreliable due to poor methodology.
Adam Yamada-Hanff, the Founder of newly launched GreenJobs.com joins Cohosts Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site to talk about launching a new site, including how to identify the target audience, pricing models, brand, domain name, and more.
Adam, like many (most?) new site owners, chose to license his software to minimize the time and capital required to launch. We've interviewed several solution providers but not Adam's choice, which was AlphaPlex, Inc. - Designers of MarketGrabber Classified Ad, Job Board and Directory Software.
This is a must-watch episode if you're trying to figure out whether to launch a new site, have decided to do so but are not yet live, recently went live, or work with owners of new sites and want to better understand the decisions and struggles they face.
