JOB BOARDS ARE COMPLETELY USELESS
We have used online job boards for over a decade – you go to one of them, put a few keywords that you feel describe the position you might want to pursue, or the candidate you are looking for, click search….and….nothing. Well, not exactly nothing – the vast majority of the “matches” that you get are only remotely close to what you might want, and you know that finding that right position or that right candidate is like finding a needle in the haystack.
So many times we see the same type of job postings on job boards and newspapers and wonder why employers even bother posting them in the first place. Stating that a position requires X years of experience doing this, and Y years of experience doing that rarely attracts the top-quality people that employers want to hire, and ultimately only adds to the number of unqualified and overqualified applications employers need to process.
