I find this to be interesting because it is not a significant improvement in the method of the traditional job boards, including the one that Bill Warren started.
The crux of this new system will be to have a system where firms will have their own unique URL with the .jobs suffix tied to their job site. For example, Dollar General would be dollargeneral.jobs.
That makes some sense, but the model falls apart for me when you see the cost of entry. Large employers will pay $15,000 for all of the “bells and whistles” while small employers will be allowed to line up at the back door for a about $125 per year. The site also give mention to the fact that small employers can “work through their state employment agencies, which post jobs online at no charge.” Big Deal! Why do they need this system anyway?
Job boards are passe’. Smart jobseekers are using social media to find their best roles and they are engaging in conversations with employers to do so.
Monster, Careerbuilder, Hot Jobs and other like minded job boards are the “Betamax” of the employment market. Some people will continue to go there, but the best and brightest will use the power of social networks, especially LinkedIn, to find the best jobs.

There was a time when jobseekers pored over the ” Recruitment / Hiring ” sections of newspapers, searching for suitable jobs, for hours-on-end.
Then, with the arrival of internet , came job-portals, which were amongst the earliest websites.
Whereas considerable refinements have taken place in respect of resume-posting and resume-searching, job-searches have largely remained the same – with the jobseekers having to spend an enormous amount of time online.
I have tried to simplify and speed-up job-searches thru Magic Cube Job-Search on http://www.CustomizeResume.com
No “ Rocket – Science “ this !
Sooner than later, someone is bound to come-up with even better ” Geodesic Job – Search” which will have jobs listed on hundreds of faces against only 3 of Magic Cube !
