in 9 Signs the Online Job Market is Broken on Instigator Blog
Your 9 reasons are good, and of course the real question you ask is, why even have job postings at all?
Free or not, job boards simply do not work.
Surely technology is good enough now to deliver a solution that can simply match the right people to the right openings without anyone having to post a wanted ad, search for jobs, or waste any time.
Most of the new generation ‘recruiting’ website we see today, seem to be designed as a popular online ‘trendy’ destination to capture lots of people, and then they try and ‘shoehorn’ recruiting in around them.
Lets face it, the problem of recruiting will only be resolved when someone first builds a solution to attack the problem or recruiting itself. Think in terms of both the job seekers and the employers, and resolve their recruiting problems.
So my job is simple:
1) To provide a way for working people to anonymously keep an eye out for their ideal job offer
2) To implement a technology that objectively measures every candidate equally, globally, for every search, and only connects both parties when there is a high level of mutual interest
3) To make this technology available to every employer, and make it so every employer can access, use and benefit from it to perform knowledgeable, fair and good recruits, without training or expertise
4) To change recruitment globally

A) The Job Seeker sets their ideal job offer and enters a few basic details
B) The job seeker remains totally anonymous
C) The employer picks from thousands of search templates, or creates their own search criteria
D) The search returns a shortlist of anonymous people who are good matches for the job. It never shortlists a job seeker unless they would consider working for the employer
E) The employer invites one or more anonymous job seekers to talk
F) The employer pays a small fee for the job seekers that accepts their invite
There is a lot more to it in the background, but essentially, in this world of Web 2.0 and what we can now do with technology; there is no need for a job classified, a job board or a job search. Surly two parties can simply state what they desire, and be instantly connected if both the party’s needs are met.
Cheers,
