College Recruiter job search site

Our new Publisher and Account Manager, Ben Groves, will be leading a discussion at the AIM Group (Marketplaces / Classifieds)'s RecBuzz conference in Vienna, Austria in two weeks. Ben's the guy that you'll want to speak with if your organization reaches or wants to reach early career (0-5 years of experience) talent just about anywhere globally. He's the primary point of contact for job boards and other recruitment marketplaces that are looking to buy and/or sell quality candidate traffic as well as non-North American employers, employment advertising agencies, staffing agencies, etc.

In today's episode of the From Dorms to Desks Podcast, we tackle an issue of concern to many of today's students and recent graduates: how to navigate a challenging job market.

Recruiting Brainfood is a once-a-week, recruiting e-newsletter manually curated by Hung Lee. It features content from non-mainstream sources and is delivered via email to more than 38,000 recruiters and other HR professionals worldwide. Hung also hosts a weekly panel discussion on Recruiting Brainfood Live where he dives into time issues related to sourcing; employment branding; diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging; artificial intelligence; recruitment marketing; candidate experience; recruitment operations; and anything else the community wants to talk about. In this episode, Hung and guests Kate Bischoff of k8bisch, LLC; Mike Bruni of Talent Acquisition Strategies, and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site discuss Elon Musk's U.S. Department of Governmental Efficiency (DOGE). Is it a threat to human resources and talent acquisition in the U.S. and, by extension, other countries?

Our founder, Steven Rothberg, recently interviewed Mark Chaffey of hackajob for the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast. College Recruiter's pricing model is pretty standard for job boards: we charge some employers to post, when the candidate clicks to apply, or when the candidate applies. Hackajob, as Steven and cohost Peter M. Zollman learned, doesn't. Instead, employers request interviews with registered candidates and pay when those candidates agree to be interviewed.

Today's episode of the From Dorms to Desks Podcast just dropped...and the topic is timeless: how to ace your telephone, Zoom, or other initial interviews.

What is backfill and why do job boards use it? This month's gathering of dozens of leaders of job boards globally -- our 8th since August 2024 -- discussed backfill, which is when Job Board A sends some of its job posting ads to Job Board B. Not all job boards send or receive postings this way, but almost all of the higher-traffic ones do. There are many reasons why a job board will distribute (syndicate) some or even all of its postings to other job boards, and many reasons why a job board will import those jobs. One is revenue: driving candidate traffic from your site to another can result in getting paid for that traffic, typically per click or application. Another is content: if you have only a posting or two of interest to a candidate, they'll be unlikely to respond to either and even less likely to come back. Should your job board engage in backfill? What are the pros and cons? What are some tips and tricks? A big thank you to Job Boards Connect for sponsoring!

Impact of AI on quantity and quality of job applications Spend any time talking with just about anyone involved in hiring and you'll hear concerns about greatly increased quantity of applications, greatly decreased quality, or even both. We believe that every student and recent grad deserves a great career and that it should be easy and inexpensive for employers to hire them. Our founder, Steven Rothberg, recently talked with Ben Groves, head of publisher partnerships, and Glen Handrahan, head of employer sales, to talk about why so many believe that problems with quantity or quality are due to AI, if that's true, and offer up some solutions. We talked about tools like LazyApply, The Stepstone Group, JobCopilot, JobQuest, ChatGPT, ZipRecruiter, Indeed, JobSync, ATS, and Mercor. Employers are clearly receiving more applications, but is quality actually poorer, or are candidates using tools to eliminate spelling and other clerical errors that used to cause employers to infer low quality?

Today's episode of the From Dorms to Desks Podcast is now available, and it addresses a question that we often hear: how do I get a job without experience when employers all say that they prefer candidates with experience?

Our founder, Steven Rothberg, interviews Michael Ang of JobElephant on today's High Volume Hiring Podcast about the differences between the recruitment marketing done by corporate employers who are hiring at scale versus similarly sized but government and higher education employers.

Our founder, Steven Rothberg, is joined on today's episode of the High Volume Hiring Podcast by his cohost, Jeanette Leeds, and their guest, Harry Wittenberg of Worxweb Solutions. Together, they talk about how staffing companies and direct employers can use technology to improve the hiring experience, both for the candidate and the employer. Harry provides some specific examples of tech that your team can put into place almost immediately that will save your recruiters and hiring managers time...time that they can then spend with the people you most want to hire.
