    And so it ends...

    In this episode, Jeff Dickey-Chasins of JobBoardDoctor and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter say goodbye to the JobBoardGeek podcast. You'll have to listen to find out why it's ending but (hint) it's not because we didn't have fun! We did! Occasionally, so did our guests. Jeff talks with Steven about his new podcasts - that's right, two! - and they pull back the curtain behind creating a podcast, and why it takes a bit more time that you might think it should.

    From Wall Street to a job board network that helps a diverse audience

    In this episode of JobBoardGeek, we talk to Roy Baladi of JobsForHumanity. Roy's start as a Wall Street quant gave little hint of his eventual role in founding JobsForHumanity, a network of job boards that target underserved and diverse candidates. Jeff Dickey-Chasins of JobBoardDoctor and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter discover how Roy's initial experience in founding JobsforLebanon led him to refocusing on a bigger audience: the candidates around the world that traditional job sites overlook. Jeff also takes aim at a questionable article using iffy data, while Steven chimes in with his usual sage advice.

    A multi-national job board software company that gives customers the high touch treatment

    In this episode of JobBoardGeek, we talk to Martin Lenz of Jobiqo, a job board software platform.

Jeff Dickey-Chasins of JobBoardDoctor and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter discover how Jobiqo went from customizing everything for every customer, to focusing on a more product-oriented approach while still investing heavily in their search technology. Jeff also talks about government regulation of classifieds and job boards, while Steven focuses more on the authoritarian control of news in some places.

    Which conferences should you attend - and why

    In this episode, Jeff Dickey-Chasins of JobBoardDoctor and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter talk about which conferences a job board owner or employee should attend - and why. They explain the differences between a HR-focused conference and a job board-specific conference, and why both can be valuable. Some of the conferences discussed include: JobBoardsConnect, TAtech, RecBuzz, HRTech, SHRM, and RecFest. The two job board geeks agree - if there was ever a job board conference out there, they probably went to it - many times!

    Is video worth a thousand job postings?

    In this episode of JobBoardGeek, we talk to Brian Forrester of Lumina.co about how his company turns text job ads into videos - at scale. With job ads often running to 300 words or (much) more, candidate engagement can be difficult. Jeff Dickey-Chasins of JobBoardDoctor and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter discover how Lumina turns those ads into videos that can increase engagement - and applications. Jeff also puzzles over JobIndex's complaint against Google for Jobs in Europe, and Steven (as always) has answers.

    How social media built this diversity job board's brand

    In this episode of JobBoardGeek, we talk to Elizabeth Willetts of InvestingInWomen, an U.K. job board focused on part-time and flexible work for moms.  Elizabeth was frustrated with employers that didn't support part-time positions, and so she built a site that focused on those companies that offered those types of jobs. Jeff Dickey-Chasins of JobBoardDoctor and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter discover some of the challenges she faced (such as buggy software), and how she's managed a site with both high- and low-touch hiring solutions. Steven finds a listing by Indeed for their internal development team's white-label job product; Jeff feels like it's deja vu all over again.
