An excellent bit of investigative reporting and smart guesswork about our pre-launch product. We just went live about an hour ago. And instead of just using job feeds we are actually looking at all of the millions of tweets every day. We're using...
Recruitment is of course important, but let's not ignore retention, motivation and recognition. I believe Twitter and other social media will prove to offer some long-term value to securing and pipelining new candidates, but the real value, at lea...

TwitterJobSearch.com Launched!

Google exec Brian Bershad on Twitter: Google has no interest in its own version of "real time search."

"There's relatively little data in Twitter," Bershad said. "I think if you could take a Twitter-like service and combine it with a lot of other data sources about the users, you might be able to come up with something more interesting."

That's what TwitterJobSearch.com does. Goes beyond the tweet.

Twitter and the Long Tail of Recruitment

Twitter and The Long Tail of Recruitment


Giles Guest of Enhance Media nicely teed up a Long Tail framework for thinking about recruitment. Here are some of my quick thoughts on how they might apply specifically to the recruitment advertising market. The Long Tail can be a problematic framework for setting corporate strategy but it provides a useful heuristic for looking at markets.… Continue

Thoughts on Enhance Media's - Online Recruitment Conference London

Some quick thoughts on the really quite good - Enhance Media's Online Recruitment - 2009 - The Year Ahead Conference.

Great turnout. With bad news aplenty in the industry, it's nice to be reminded that online recruitment advertising remains a massive opportunity (we still think at least £200+mm in the UK) with many smart people involved. Companies are still recruiting, but to a lesser degree, and there is greater pressure on them to be accountable and to… Continue

Disrupting the Search Marketplace

Danny Sullivan of the search engine land site does a nice job of parsing May search data here. His analysis nets out that in several cuts of the data, Google is continuing to dominate the search business. There is much speculation about whether threats to Google’s dominant market position will bubble up or be met head on.

Our inclination is that it will be a combination of shifting internet usage patterns and a shifting in the notion of what constitutes search. And we’ve always maintained that Google’s utility in some of the verticals that generate large cash flows is not great. In travel, classifieds, and services, Google does not offer a great user experience for either the advertiser or information seeker.
Read Write Web, has an interesting piece looking at 11 search trends that may disrupt Google. In general they are arguing that some of the areas that Google is dominant are very expensive areas to compete in and just not meaningful to end users. We agree.
