After reading a post by Jason Buss, I wanted
to know if the ERE community thinks that
job
boards
are obsolete. Understandably, this is a sensitive
topic for many recruiters. Ryan Reddy, Amanda Blazo, and Eric Smith
feel that without job boards recruiters would have to do their own
sourcing and question if that would ever happen. David Templeton
believes they are already obsolete since most leads are weak and
agrees with David Boller that you need to look at other tools to
source candidates. John Ruffini sums it up best by stating, “If you
are mining resumes form the Internet job boards and that is your
main source of candidates, in my opinion you are not a recruiter.
There is some value to that, but the art and science of recruiting
is achieved by traditional sourcing and networking, and finding the
talent that your client cannot and will not find through any other
means.”
