Can You Recognize This Job Board?
Take a good look at The Loop, it has all the characteristics of a job board, but it also embraced the ideals of social networking by allowing users to connect and collaborate. In fact, it is promoting itself as a networking site for the creative industry.
What doomsayers fail to recognize is the ability of job boards (or the business model) to evolve with the times. Be prepared to see more blending of the traditional with the new.
SMH did a piece on The Loop (Pip Jamieson and Matt Fayle are Co Founders).
It’s a fascinating time to be in the recruitment, blogging, social media and job board space. I am enjoying watching and participating in the evolution.
It seems to be very similar in concept to Penelope Trunk’s Brazen Careerist.
