College Recruiter

William Tincup is one of the most knowledgeable people in the human resources technology industry, which includes the world of aggregator, general, and niche job boards.

Many know him from his years of work at RecruitingDaily. Others know him from his current venture, the WRKdefined podcast network. It hosts all three of College Recruiter job search site's podcasts: Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast, High Volume Hiring Podcast, and From Dorms to Desks Podcast.

Today's Job Board Leaders' Monthly Roundtable featured William as our guest, with the conversation focused on how job boards can use content such as podcasts, events, webinars, and blogs to build community. The community we want to build may be with candidates, employers, or others but there are mistakes to avoid and opportunities to seize. William helps us see the way.

We're taking a little trip down memory lane on today's episode of the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast. One of our cohosts, Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group, is unavailable and so our other cohost, Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site is flying solo.

Steven talks with Jeanette Leeds, COO of College Recruiter, about applicant tracking systems (ATS), recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) organizations, and whether they used to and currently play nicely with job boards.

Do they view our industry a complementary, or competitive? Are those feelings reciprocal?

If there's one thing that never changes about job boards it is that they never stop changing. Our businesses, at a very high level, are pretty much the same as they were when our industry came into existence in the 1990s. But, scratch the surface, and almost nothing is the same.

A change that some believe is imminent is the replacement of the written job posting, resume, or both with something else. Could that something else be voice? Instead of searching a job board for postings and applying by uploading a resume, will candidates instead be called by AI, go through an automated screening process, and be hired in a few days instead of a few week?

Prompted by the recent acquisition of Ben Groves' ApplyCall by Tom Chevalier's Tink AI, our cohosts, Peter M. Zollman of the AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site debate.
