 2000 Part II
(December 19, 2000) When the dust settle, there will be a number of
winners for a number of reasons. The marketplace was frenzied with new
entrants and new offerings. Tomorrow, we'll run down the big moments that
we think defined the industry this year. Today, we'll focus on the Top 15
events that you might not have noticed.
When Career Mosaic, Monster and the Online Career Center opened their
doors for operation, no one noticed. These operations, which would change
the face of Recruiting, caused barely a ripple in the surface of things
when they opened their doors for business. The important moments often go
unnoticed til years later.
We think that some or all of the following events and businesses have
the potential to reshape the industry as time goes on.
Top 15 Things You Might Have Missed
- The Acquisition of PDI's
Assessment Division by ePredix
placing ePredix at the leading edge in the reinvention of assessment.
- The full force entry of Kennedy Publications into the
Electronic Recruiting Market. Five years into the process, the old
industry stalwart made a fantastic splash this year with conferences and
publications. It's the final validation of the emergence of a new
industry. Nice momentum.
- Hire.com's expansion into traffic
development marks the company's full turn into becoming an advertising
agency.
- Intralect's name change to PureCarbon. The merry band of
Cisco refugees has the "interface thing" down cold.
- NorthernLight's release
of RecruitingShark,
a service targeted directly at online resume research.
- Bridgepath's release of
their Recruiting Exchange.
- All of the companies that prospered in 2000 did so by keeping their
CEO.
- Goodshark launched its
business with the first really valuable
seminar series in the industry.
- CareerEngine pioneered
variable pricing in its advertising purchases and left its REIT
operations in the dust.
- CareerCast opened the
business in a box concept with Pre-IPO Jobs
- HotJobs moved onto the JobFair
turf with WorkWorld
including a marvelous utilization of the San Jose Tech Museum.
- The FlipDog Game (searching
all jobs online) expanded to include Wanted Technologies and GrassIsGreener
- VerticalNet quietly
established the best network of industry specific Recruiting Sites.
- Advantage Hiring
introduced Industrial Strength Online Interviewing as a filtering
mechanism.
- CareerPath and CareerMosaic disappeared.
