Why job search is broken

Job boards a/k/a recruitment marketplaces are mostly double-sided marketplaces, meaning they have two customer groups: (1) employers and other advertisers and (2) job seekers. To succeed with one, you need to succeed with the other.

Yet many argue that searching for jobs in general and via job boards in particular is broken. Some believe that it has always been, is, and always will be broken until something fundamental changes. Others believe that job search need not be broken and that the solutions are at hand.

Today’s guest on the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast is Cory Kapner of Recruitics and he falls into that last group. Yes, job search is largely broken but we can and must fix it. Our Cohosts, Peter M. Zollman of the AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter, unpack these issues with Cory and, together, help reveal Cory’s vision for a better future.
