Why job boards need branding

Branding often gets a bad rap – as if there is something inherently bad in trying to create a unique, persuasive persona for your job board. Nothing could be further from the truth. Think about it: most of the truly successful job boards out there have built successful brands. Monster. CareerBuilder. Dice. The Ladders. RegionalHelpWanted. Of course, a brand won’t replace solid technology, good marketing, and SEO. But in combination with these, branding will help push your job board past hundred… Continue

The ‘Slow Movement’ for Conferences! Is technology taking over a ‘face to face’ people connection occasion?

Recently I attended a few conferences, which have been terrific. One was a digital media conference, the other a recruitment and technology related conference, so there was a lot of strong technology flavor. Upon reflection however I have to wonder if I gained the maximum benefit from these conferences thanks to technology taking over my life! While presenters were speaking, I observed that delegates (including me) were on their laptops working away, on twitter, texting and emailing the office… Continue
