Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad Monster?

neal-bruce.jpgWe joined the International Association of Employment Web Sites about a year ago in order to network with our direct and indirect competitors and to have a voice in our industry. One of the benefits joining was being able to meet and learn from some really great people who just happen to work for other job boards. Case in point: Neal Bruce of Monster.com.

Let's face it, Monster has been a favorite whipping boy for quite a while. I suppose that comes with being the leader for so many years. But smart, cordial, thoughtful, and caring people like Neal Bruce make it very hard to dislike Monster. In fact, they make it very easy to respect the work that Monster has and continues to do. Are all of their decisions in the best interest of the industry? Of course not. But what which member of the industry can honestly claim to be any different?

I had the pleasure of sitting with Neal during the presentation by Jason Goldberg of Jobster at last week's ERE Expo in Washington, D.C. It was a real pleasure getting to know him a little better. Until the ERE conference, we've seen each other and knew of each other, but never really had the opportunity to talk. I look forward to getting to know him better at future conferences, perhaps even at the IAEWS conference in Orlando in November.

If you don't know Neal, get to know him. He's got a lot of wisdom to offer.
