I was speaking the other day with Raghav Singh. Raghav knows about recruiting technology. We were catching up on his visit to HRTech in Chicago. He said one of the most impressive companies on show this year was Recruiting.com. My first reaction was, “Wha-wha?”
I see John Sumser strikes a similar tone to Raghav’s in his post 091018 Recruiting.com. John’s analysis leads me to affirm that while Recruiting.com might make a great case study for a start-up starting over, cool recruiting tools alone rarely, if ever, compensate for lousy internal processes, weak management and a decimated recruiting function.

I believe Recruiting.com has fulfilled its purpose for me and is about to give up the ghost. The so-called recruiting community portal serves no strategic purpose and drives all but no traffic. There is no interesting content that I couldn’t get somewhere else. There are no pictures of Filipino hot babes after all and, quite frankly, the site has turned into a useless waste of blogroll, more irritation than anything else.

I learned yesterday that John Sumser will be vacating the Editor’s desk at Recruiting.com. His going — timed for early May — will mark the closing of another chapter in this seminal site’s interesting history, perhaps the closing of the book.
At this point I have to ask: “Who cares?” John’s throw-away remark at the end of the Recruiting Animals’ Morning After Show referencing his exit suggests he may feel the same way. Who knows? For sure, for those who look within the Recruitosphere’s publishing clique for amusement it will be amusing in the coming weeks, no doubt.
To my own pathethic contribution…hmmm. Recruiting.com has been an interesting place for me to experiment with a number of ideas some of which fizzled out, some of which sputtered along and some of which remain open-ended.
Moving forward, I shall simply plug my Bunsen into the new mixture of gas and hot air on RecruitingBlogs.com, the combustible bloggy-ning thing where I now spend my early mornings. Like you perhaps?
Ah, Recruitopia…doesn’t it just make you sick?

Well, it would be bad sport for me not to at least recognize paidContent.org’s headline having been one of the early adopters of Jobster-related content for a little SEO lift.
With the company’s likely implosion at hand, better to make hay while the sun shines, don’t ya fink?
But then again, hold on — I’m in stealth mode! Am I really ready to start drawing attention to myself?
And what about my beloved Recruiting.com, Jobster’s love-child? We don’t want to tick off the new sugar-daddy, do we?
