It’s been a while since I’ve written - ironically, it’s probably because my own work-life balance is out of whack. Not that I’m slacking, mind you - just been working very hard on other projects! I don’t think anyone would say that this concept, i.e. - the “work-life balance” is particularly new, but it’s certainly […]

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 […]

I was on Jobster yesterday and noticed “free job postings” and, sure enough, read today on Techcrunch what exactly is going on over there. The move is being hailed (by Techcrunch at least) as a move to target Monster.com, the job board behemoth on the block. With $50 Million in funding and a CEO who […]

An article in the NY Times talks about job boards targeting older candidates. I found the first blog reference to these new boards at Secrets of the Job Hunt. The Times talks about the emerging trend of targeting job candidates who are looking for late-career opportunities or who have retired and are interested in easing […]

As just about everyone who’s looked for a job recently knows, there is a proliferation of specialty, niche job boards out there, as well a number of job sites that focus on specific geographic regions. What is happening in the process has been a “squeeze” of the “Big 3″ job boards - Monster.com, CareerBuilder and […]

Since the beginning of the mainstream use of the Internet, newspapers have watched from a distance with mixed feelings. At first, when it was suggested that the Internet would overtake the newspapers, executives laughed. Now, they may just be crying. Though some were late to pick up on the trend, the major newspapers eventually got […]

Monster has been under attack for some time now, with perhaps its most vocal detractor being Jobster’s Jason Goldberg. Joel Cheesman, blogger and HR Internet marketer extraordinaire also likes to point out the beleaguered job board’s shortcomings. Lately, however, there is yet another Monster goof that has nothing to do with its bombarding job applicants […]

Much is being made in the recruitosphere about the post in TechCrunch assailing the state of online job search and how very little has changed or improved since the first job boards arrived almost a decade ago. A second post at Recruiting.com explains that recruiting is a difficult business requiring human interaction and social skills […]

Job boards are growing, and one mechanism for that growth is to go “niche”. Whether geography- or industry-based, there’s a job board out there for just about every sub-category and niche job type imaginable. JobLoft.com, which I’ve just recently seen for the first time (better late than never, huh?), is a job board focusing solely […]
