Is LinkedIn a social media site? Job board? Both?

In 2021 and 2022, Jeff Dickey-Chasins a/k/a The Job Board Doctor and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter were cohosts of the Job Board Geek Podcast. Each week, they would discuss how job boards bring candidates together with employers.

Recently, Jeff and Steven sat down with Shelley Billinghurst of Hire Value and Serge Boudreau of Career Beacon, the cohosts of The Recruitment Flex Podcast. TRF is the most listened-to recruitment-related podcast in Canada and one of the most in the world.

The discussion was wide-ranging, including how job boards fared in 2023; whether 2024 will be the year that Google for Jobs finally becomes significant; thoughts on the new job search added to X (formerly Twitter); and a fun, spirited debate as to whether LinkedIn is a social media site, job board, or both.
