Does a key founder of our industry have the ability to now fix it? | ep95

The earliest job boards, including Online Career Center and TheMonsterBoard, grew out of the pre-web bulletin boards. Our guest today on the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podca is Jeff Taylor, founder of TheMonsterBoard, which re-branded as Monster and was instrumental in creating our industry.

Our cohosts, Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group (Marketplaces / Classifieds) and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site, talk with Jeff about what caused him to found Monster, some of the early challenges, how our industry is still struggling with some of those challenges, and what is coming next.

Jeff’s new venture, BoomBand is set to launch this fall. It promises to push AI/machine learning to map the talent landscape and re-imagine the tools, user interface, and career flows to present candidates and employers with new ways to engage.
