New approach to aggregating job content launched

Hi all

Our business partner and long time development friends, Arturo Suarez Martin and Luis Gervaso, have launched a new blog and a new web site service, called Find Jobs In.. This is a beta site, getting ready to be a platform for other technologies such as SEO tools, with a focus towards recruitment.

I am really looking forward to working with them and watching the next generation of tools, such as our website in Holland, Kangarooster, all take shape over the coming months.

Well done guys.

CNN Article, part two

Just saw a link on one of Bill Vick's many on-line spaces, "5 steps to let your dream job find you"

Bill has kindly quoted me from the CNN article - thanks Bill.

If you haven't looked at Bill's writings, you should. He is a real thinker and leader in the recruitment community. In fact, if you look to the right to the ExremeRecruiting streampad, you can listen to some of his excellent 'one minute' interviews. Or head off to the ExteremeRecruiting site.

CNN article on interactive CVs

Well, now it's confirmed. I am an international expert :-)

I was interviewed a few days ago by Kevin Voight from the Hong Kong bureau of CNN's digitalbiz section on the impact of online recruitment. A wide ranging interview, which I hope will end up with some follow up conversations.

Naturally, as soon as the article appeared, I pored over it to find my brilliant quotes - most of which did end up on the cutting room floor (or whatever the editorial equivalent is). Some really good comments from Matt Burney as well. Great to see two UK based experts make it to the world stage.

Would love to see the follow up focus on the web 2.0 career sites.

Al
