Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast

Uniqueness and potential of Japanese, other Asian markets | ep90 Our guest on today's episode of the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast is Kaori Kido, the Global Business Development Manager of Kakaku.com, Inc.'s Kyujin Box Media Planning Dept., better known outside of Japan as Jobcube, Inc.. Kyujin Box is one of Japan's leading job boards / recruitment marketplaces. In Japan, its customers are mostly employers and staffing companies. A couple of years ago, it began to expand into other countries, including Singapore and the United States. In those markets, it operates under the Jobcube brand using an arbitrage, aggregator model by buying and selling candidate traffic with other job boards. In today's episode, our cohosts, Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group (Marketplaces / Classifieds) and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site explore why Kakaku.com decided to expand into other countries, why it chose Singapore and the United States, and how it is different operating in Japan versus those other countries.

What will 2025 bring to our industry? | ep89 The end of any year tends to bring out the prognosticators and, with them, lists of predictions. Our cohosts, Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group (Marketplaces / Classifieds) and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site, decided not to disappoint those who really, really want to learn what we're thinking about for 2025. In today's episode, we each share our thoughts about how AI will be used by job boards / recruitment marketplaces, the economics impacting our businesses (spoiler alert...the word Trump may have come up), the CareerBuilder+Monster merger (Steven shares an underreported, positive aspect about them), Indeed becoming more restrictive about what postings it will accept (Jim Durbin gets a nice shout-out), and conferences such as TAtech, 株式会社RecBuzz, Job Boards Connect, RecFest USA, Unleash, ERE, and others. Bottom line: we foresee a lot of change. A lot. What did we miss?

Employers need to be authentic and even authenticated | ep88 The Internet brought with it countless changes to society. For example, employers no longer control their employer brand. If past, present, and future employees are largely in control of your employer brand, your job posting ads and other marketing materials be authentic. But job ads from those looking to steal the data of those interested in working for you have also made authentication important. So, now, it isn't just important that you honestly communicate what it is like to work for you, but also important that candidates trust that the entity that posted the ad is actually the entity doing the hiring. Today's guest, Sean Horton of JobsInLogistics.com, shares with cohosts Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group (Marketplaces / Classifieds) and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site the impact on the family of niche job boards his company operates from the increased need to be authentic and authenticated.

Are podcasts good for attracting candidates and employers? | ep87 What do you get when you combine the American Thanksgiving Day holiday and three podcasters? Some bad jokes about turkey...and a few great takeaways. What you also get is a robust discussion with guest William Tincup of WRKdefined, a new network for work-related podcasts; Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group (Marketplaces / Classifieds); and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site. In addition to some jokes about turkey, we discuss what works well for job boards and recruitment marketplaces that have podcasts targeting employers, candidates, or both. What content should they focus on? How many minutes long should they be? Should you also post excerpts to social platforms like TikTok?

Tomorrow's guest will be William Tincup of WRKdefined. Together with cohosts Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group (Marketplaces / Classifieds) and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site, we'll discuss whether job boards / recruitment marketplaces should launch their own podcasts to attract more candidates, employer advertisers, and other customers. Watch here live, delayed, or recorded.

What's the difference between "authentic" and "authenticated" when it comes to employers? On the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast, Sean Horton explains. Listen in when it goes live on December 12.

Breaking news: JobGet acquires Snagajob JobGet today acquired Snagajob, its 3rd acquisition in 18 months. JobGet is an app-first platform for quickly hiring hourly workers. In that niche, speed is key. SnagAJob was founded 25 years ago and was the largest hourly worker site in the U.S. with 100 million profiles of hourly workers. In our interview with JobGet's CEO, Tony Liu, he acknowledged some overlap between users but indicated that much of the data that Snagajob had on those users was not also possessed by JobGet and that roughly half of the users in Snagajob's database do not appear to be duplicative. So, although the deal seems on the surface to be designed to eliminate a direct competitor, there are great opportunities to create a one plus one equals three. Cohosts Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group (Marketplaces / Classifieds) and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site are grateful to Tony for making time for the interview on what surely was a busy and momentous day for JobGet.

Impact of the U.S. Presidential election on the job board industry | ep86 The re-election 1.5 weeks ago of Donald Trump was a shock to some, a relief to others, and sure to bring changes to the U.S. and global economies, therefore hiring, and therefore our job board / recruitment marketplace industry. In today's episode, guest Joseph Stubblebine of Lensa and cohosts Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter discuss what leaders in our industry should expect over the coming months and years. Some, they believe, will be negative, some positive, and a lot uncertain. The election was consequential and today's episode will help our listeners better understand its ramifications for our industry.
