Yet virtually every job in the world is advertised on job boards, and employers use job boards all the time Just look at all the traffic they get. I think youre missing the boat please admit that theres plenty of evidence the job boards do work Heres the problem with job boards today None of them offer any evidence that they work. What does it mean that they work It means they actually match people with jobs.

But if job boards actually work, they should be able to show they are the cause of hires. Quarkxpress 2015 Serial Key' title='Quarkxpress 2015 Serial Key' />They claim they are, but they offer no evidence. Lets look at Indeed. Digital. Trends. On March 2. Indeed published an article and infographic titled How 1. Million Unique Visitors Use Indeed to Find Jobs. On its face, the title seems clear its going to tell you how people found jobs using Indeed. But the infographic shows nothing of the sort. In fact, contrary to the misleading title, the graphic seems to be very careful not to claim Indeed actually fills jobs. Lets look at the data presented in that infographic click here to follow along. It tells us everything except whether Indeed works 1. Quarkxpress 2015 Serial Key' title='Quarkxpress 2015 Serial Key' />Million unique visitors each month. So what What does tracking unique visitors have to do with actually filling jobs All this tells us is that lots of people go there. Traffic on Indeed has increased by 4. Again, so what 3. Each month, 7. 2 of online job seekers in the US visit Indeed. But, how many get jobs there Theres no mention of that. Im still waiting for how all those people use Indeed to actually find jobs. There are 2. 5 million resumes on Indeed that employers search for free. Those employers could be printing resumes to line bird cages. Where are the stats on how many people they hired All this statistic tells us is that employers might be stupid. Judging from the rising complaints about a talent shortage from employers, it seems free is worthless. Patch Fr Ultimate Spider Man Pc. And employers are indeed sometimes stupid. Job seekers use the 4 million employer reviews to research companies. So what They use Google to do the same. Does Google claim it fills jobsRequestCracks. Request a Crack, Dongle Emulator or Dongle Crack. Dongle Emulation Service for any software. Do we see a trend here Lots of data showing big numbers, which seem impressive by themselves but no outcomes analysis. Indeed searches come from mobile. Yah, so Every marketing program today includes the obligatory reference to mobile. But how many of those searches yield hires There are 1. Indeed worldwide, and 8. But how many are filled by people searching for jobs on IndeedIndeed is available in 5. Perhaps translators are getting jobs. What are the success rates by country The infographic slams us with impressive statistics about web traffic, numbers of job postings and resumes, percentages of job seekers that visit all kinds of data. Indeed concludes that More people find jobs on Indeed than anywhere else. After scanning the clever infographic, you probably believe it. Well, I dont. I think its all b. All I see is that lots of people find job listings on Indeed. Oops, could that be what Indeed really meansIn the midst of all this promotional info there is not one shred of data that tells us how many people actually got jobs on Indeed, or how many jobs employers filled on Indeed. People find jobs on Indeed clearly means they found job listings in Indeed. So what The infographic is bogus. Those numbers do not indicate success rates. Its classic deception by distraction that convinces people to keep patronizing job boards. My challenge to job boards. I challenge Indeed. Show us your job fill rates and the success rates of job seekers who use the service, and point us to your data. Indeeds revenues are not public, but they must be staggering. The company clearly spends a lot on advertising and promotion. Youd think that if Indeed had a shred of evidence that its service actually works, it would be prominently displayed in the infographic. Why isnt it I cant find one word about Indeeds success metrics on its website. Can you Indeed features an Engineering Blog on its site posts about database technology but nothing about outcomes analysis or success metrics. My guess is that Indeeds dirty little secret is that human resources departments dump billions of dollars into an empty hole, and that nobody really cares how many jobs Indeed or any job board actually fills as long as the cash keeps rolling in. The job boards show us the money because theyre making it hand over fist. But they dont show us results. My challenge to employers Ill make a second challenge to employers Pay a job board only after you make a hire through that board. Suddenly, job boards will be able to accurately track who got hired from where. And youll know where your money is going. This is no different from this challenge to job boards that charge job seekers. Funny thing. Every job board executive Ive ever talked to claims that theres just no way we can track actual hires its too complicated. Gimme a break. Web analytics is rocket science today we can track virtually everything you do online and theres no way to figure out whether a job board was the cause of a job being filledWouldnt the very best job service be designed to ensure it gathers the necessary data to prove it works I mean, what are all those data scientists for, anyway I think the truth is simpler Indeed. Certainly, they fill some jobs, but just because millions of people gamble doesnt mean enough of them win to justify the practice. All it means is that the house wins. While you keep job hunting, you generate more visits to Indeed. Do job boards workId love to hear from employers who actually know where their hires came from. Did you get a job through Indeed Whats your best source of hires or jobs.
