I can’t say that this post will relate to employment in any way, but I’ll try…
Thus far today I’ve done very little work myself, instead spending most of my time gathering fishing equipment, putting some 6-lb. test on my girlfriend’s light-action fishing rod, packing a bag and doing some laundry. That’s “kind of” working, but […]

Alumwire, a site dedicated to networking among college students and recent graduates, is taking the vertical approach to networking just one step further, a “vertical within a vertical,” if you will. Everyone knows about MySpace, Facebook and LinkedIn, of course, so the jump to a networking site for job seekers and employers isn’t a big […]

Tough decision, right? Nah…
My Dad invited me to play golf today at the *illustrious* Diamond Ridge golf course, a mere 5 miles from my house, so I say “what could be better?” A 10 minute drive will get me to the course, it’s about 75 degrees out right now and sunny, and I just got […]

I am an entrepreneur and have been so for the last 10 years. With my trusted partner, we’ve been through several business models, traveled many paths and experienced various levels of success and failure. Both of us worked in the “real world” for a very short time - roughly two years - and our business […]

The answer is that they are still out there, but they are fading fast. The most recent player to drop out of the free job postings game is The Ladders, which I just mentioned last week. Joel Cheesman is speculating that they are likely to open their formerly free job postings up to clients for […]

It seems like only a year ago that we started blogging at Insourced - and that’s exactly how long it’s been. We’re still feeling our way around this growing and dynamic industry, but we’ve also made some great progress with the development of our job board and search engine. We are rapidly approaching 200,000 jobs […]

At Insourced, we knew that having a free job board would invite many spammers and scam artists to post fraudulent jobs and other “work opportunities” that are ultimately designed to con responders out of their money. We were notified today of one in particular (thank you, Patricia) that we’ve actually encountered outside of our job […]

Well, Insourced has undergone some changes recently. Yesterday marked the launch of the new job search portion of the site and, for those who read the blog, you’ll have noticed (I hope) that it’s undergone a re-design. Still some things to work out with IE, because every time I try to use a background image […]

Just a quick note to those in the market for either a hosted job candidate management application or one that you can install on your own servers. The application itself is so-so, but more troubling, in my opinion, is that lack of access you truly have if you go with the hosted option. Tech support […]

What will 2007 bring to the job seekers, employers and recruiters who make up the little corner of the world sometimes referred to as the “Recruitosphere”? Tough to say, but perhaps some late Christmas presents (or Hannukah, Kwanzaa or “Insert Holiday or Non-Religious Celebration of Choice Here” presents) will be delivered. For Joel Cheesman, whose […]
