The world of Online Recruiting
January 8, 2008 by Geoff Jennings
It’s about time I started to write on my own page about what’s happening in the world of Online Recruitment. I am a huge fan of Joel Cheesman’s blog, Cheezhead, and Brett Iredale who recently closed his blog at Nowhiring.
I have enjoyed seeing how much the recruitment industry has evolved over the past decade. I remember working at Fairfax Digital’s MyCareer and having to battle with the print folks. The team at Seek and their very clever marketing in the early days, have changed the way employers and recruiters search for new talent.
Where to from here? Maybe video will be the next big thing?
This blog will endeavor to catch any Online Recruitment news as it happens and report.
Welcome Geoff. Good luck for this. I hope this blog turns out to be a constructive conversation maker!

Looking forward to this… Brett did provide an invaulable service over there on NowHiring so I’m pleased you’ve picked up the baton. I’m sure you’re looking forward to moderating his comments rather than the other way around!
Thanks for the mention Geoff and good luck with the new blog. I will be blogging again along with a range of guest bloggers at our new location on JobAdder.com but I will drop you a line when that happens.
In the meantime cheers and good luck.
Although I’m new to the input side of these things, I’ve been soaking up the output side for some time now, and I’m already missing Brett’s measured and objective views. Thanks Brett.
Love to get a discussion going on aggregators and how the industry views them - I recall an article in the Fin Review a year or so ago where Seek’s CEO was quite dismissive of aggregators. So do they have a future in Australia and could they be a threat to the legacy players?
