ERNIE, please use the form on the
linked page. In spite of our predisposition to view them as a mindless juggernaut,
these items all indicate that a new thing is happening. Monster is
actually and effectively redefining the industry for the rest of the
world. The price one pays for industry leadership appears to be an
educational tax. Monster is single-handedly carrying the educational
freight and making the rest of the world more interested in using our
services. They are growing the industry and making it into something new.
Ten Million single page resumes would be a stack of paper over a mile
high. Laid end to end, they would stretch 1700 miles. In a database, where
they represent 7.6% of the workforce, they represent a fascinating data
mine that creates the opportunity to measure and predict some amazing
things. With a database that large, you could start to anticipate the
likelihood that candidate X was about to have a "CareerQuake" (as our
friend Phil Wolf like to call them). If you could figure out something
that 50% of the database would buy for $100, you could get rich.
A database that size is a lot like a swamp in Louisiana....murky,
stinky, full of alligators but very likely to sit on top of an oil well.
With brave persistent guides, the thing can be mined, mapped and built
upon. It represents a landmark occasion in our industry. It's good for all
of us.
Look who's gone
local!
There is an established job board making new waves in the online
recruiting industry. CareerWeb.com, a subsidiary of Trader Publishing
Company, is poised for strong growth. Careerweb.com is the online
companion to The Employment Guide, a localized print publication with a
weekly circulation of 3 million papers. Using the Employment Guide as
advertising, Careerweb.com has grown to a sizable site with over 100,000
job searches per day. So why use CareerWeb.com instead of Monster or
Hotjobs?
CareerWeb.com is building a network of localized sites. Recruiters can
post jobs locally. Similarly, job seekers will find only local jobs. The
local site idea is appealing to job seekers who lack the time to search a
monstrous job database, and who are not willing to relocate for a "hot"
job. Jobseekers like that search results are more specific to their needs.
Check out the first three of these local sites at: OrlandoCareerWeb.com, RaleighCareerWeb.com, and ChicagoCareerWeb.com.
Your Lifeline to Medical Careers HealthCareerWeb.com is
CareerWeb.com's first industry-specific site. It is devoted to the booming
Healthcare job market. If you are a recruiter for the healthcare industry,
this site is an indispensable tool.
