[...] Update: zojuist lees ik een goede quote in een stuk over Jobsearch 2.0 die ik u niet wil onthouden. Vrij vertaald: “De plek waar je je vacatures plaatst zegt veel over het bedrijf. Als je iedereen wil aantrekken, plaats je je vacature op een general job board als Monsterboard of StepStone. Als je iets wil uitstralen kan je misschien beter kiezen voor een niche community, zoals Marketingfacts of Hrlog. [...]

C.M. Thanks for pointing me to your post re: the interview with Paul Forster. Indeed is a great site and I hope that it gains in recognition among job seekers. They have had an amazing 300% increase in visitors, but I wonder where most of their traffic comes from at this point.

Peter – thanks for the adding your thoughts! Interesting point about *location* being more important than the content. The ability to stand out really allows you to be noticed. Blogging is an example of that. The content might not be great – but just because you are doing it people notice.

Interesting post, a subject I also concur with but see little about; plenty of web 2.0 and the direct search activities, but less about the ‘passive’ searches. I think the job becomes the pollen to make the honey, but what the job holder does to attract the bee will change over time. No more will it be ‘advertise and they will come’.

Getting the job in front of the right people at the right time will become proactive and less reactive; which in itself will be a skill employers will not develop but outsource. The ‘job controller’ will offer their service on a pay-for-performance basis (if they are any good!) making sure they get the brand and the opportunity of jobs (as well as actual jobs) into the right kinds of places such as Blogs etc. Job boards may be right on some occasions, Blogs on others, who knows what else will come!

Bottom line – I reckon location becomes more important than the content as no matter how good the job is, lost on Monster it gets too many candidates who don’t match and for the odd few that do, they struggle to get through; but in the right location…….

[...] EXCELER8ion: Job Search 2.0 – There’s Something Happening Here “…what the blog boards are doing for Job Search 2.0 is flipping the current ‘job search’ model. The ’search’ doesn’t happen on sites dedicated to finding jobs. The audience is no longer the community of job seekers that millions of marketing dollars are spent on to bring them to a ‘Monstrous’ conglomeration of available jobs in any and all areas and industries.” [...]

Great post Shannon. I agree with your assesment and have been thinking about JobSearch 2.0 as well since I’ll be speaking about new job search tools to an alumni group at a local college in October. As part of that I’m in the process of putting together a matrix of JobSearch 2.0 companies.

I actually spoke with Indeed’s CEO the other day, which you might be interested in… http://secretsofthejobhunt.blogspot.com/2006/08/conversation-with-indeedcoms-paul.html

But you’re right it is a new age of jobhunting. I, for one, love watching it unfold.

There ARE interesting people in this community. And just like other interesting communities, our exposure to the new people we meet in them expand our horizons on all fronts. Hey Shannon, does this qualify for the category you coined “Job Search 2.0″?
