Comments on: Filipino Hot Babes http://blogversity.com/recruitomatic/2008/04/21/filipino-hot-babes/ A Contrarian View of Life in the Recruitosphere Sun, 12 Oct 2008 02:02:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Amitai Givertz http://blogversity.com/recruitomatic/2008/04/21/filipino-hot-babes/#comment-1441 Amitai Givertz Mon, 21 Apr 2008 15:03:13 +0000 http://blogversity.com/recruitomatic/?p=165#comment-1441 Andy, thanks for the comment but you are confusing two issues. 1. While Jason Goldberg was a maverick CEO and the architect behind Jobster's failures one would hope that any lessons learned would be properly applied in his new venture social|median. For sure, any investor doing his or her due diligence before investing in a Goldberg venture will certainly know from the blogs what's what. And therein lies the paradox. For all of his faults JGo was completely transparent and -- like him or not -- 'authenticated.' I don't think Goldberg is out to fleece anyone, but then again, who knows? Wolves do come in sheep's clothing, so I'm told. 2. With John Sumser's departure as editor for Recruiting.com it appears no one is driving the bus. If spammers are allowed to hijack it that will not only be a crying shame but an indictment too on the new leadership who have inherited a responsibility to all of Jobster's stakeholders -- that includes recruiting bloggers and readers alike. If incumbent CEO Seely doesn't understand that fiduciary responsibility has to be tempered with social responsibility he'll have a harder time of raising money than JGo will. Andy, thanks for the comment but you are confusing two issues.

For sure, any investor doing his or her due diligence before investing in a Goldberg venture will certainly know from the blogs what’s what. And therein lies the paradox. For all of his faults JGo was completely transparent and — like him or not — ‘authenticated.’ I don’t think Goldberg is out to fleece anyone, but then again, who knows? Wolves do come in sheep’s clothing, so I’m told.

2. With John Sumser’s departure as editor for Recruiting.com it appears no one is driving the bus.

If incumbent CEO Seely doesn’t understand that fiduciary responsibility has to be tempered with social responsibility he’ll have a harder time of raising money than JGo will.

Trouble is, now one spammer has found it, that will be the end of its credability, as more are sure to follow them!! Such a shame as Jobster had so much potential at one stage - until the overhyped, egomanic CEO went mad and thought he could walk on water!! (bet you can't tell who I am talking about can you??!) I see he is now trying to fleece a whole new investment community over on the East Coast!! Andy Good spot Amitai,
