Job Boards Don’t Work

We KNOW this. For the past 13 years, we’ve known marketing clients didn’t have time to sift through job board applicants, or determine who was qualified and who just lied.

Needle in the haystack

In today’s San Jose Mercury News, the former president of Monster.com, one of the leading internet job search sites, admits employment websites are too expensive for clients and isn’t fruitful for applicants. Bill Warren is now listening to his clients and starting from scratch on a new job search concept. The problem: it’s still an automated web-based system that relies on exceedingly busy clients to narrow the search using technology.

People work with people, not web-based search results. And there is no software yet that can detect real human chemistry… or b.s. Until then, clients will gladly pay high-touch firms like High Tech Connect to find exactly the right professional for the job.
