"If I were running a major job board today I would make it a priority to provide value for my customers…both seeker and recruiter. I would build tools and publish information that helped them get a job faster or connect with more quality candidates. I would educate them, I would make them want to come back to the site each day to get what they need."<p>by "crisr2"<p><a href="http://www.jobboardsecrets.com/2017/09/05/the-lack-of-innovation-in-major-job-boards/" rel="nofollow">http://www.jobboardsecrets.com/2017/09/05/the-lack-of-innova...</a><p>Education for job seekers and employers has been a goal in the back of my head when I've considered this project before. There's a lot of information out there already, but it's food for thought. I know that content-marketing is a thing and could be done with educational articles, but as I stated above, I'm not trying to profit off of this, directly. Good educational resources (maybe even outside the realm of articles) would be good marketing, nonetheless, and useful for the audience.<p>One feature that I've been working on, is the "stats" page. I want that information to be clear and available. The page will have things like "Current User Count", "Company Count", "Most Viewed Postings" and so on...hopefully to give job posters an idea on what's "working" and what's not.<p>I'm still considering how filtering will work. It won't be "hard" but I want to get it right. Design-wise, it's hard for me because I've been working on back-end API's most of my career and I've barely touched an interface, besides small fixes/additions. The right interface will make or break filtering.<p>Along those terms, I want job seekers to be able to get updates effectively <i>when</i> they want them. A job seeker in "Atlanta, Georgia" who wants to find work there, should get relevant updates emailed and/or texted to them. It's pretty straight forward and it's been done a thousand times but <i>I</i> haven't personally written a system like that before. It should be fun.<p>Innovation is what is lacking but I'm sure it will come. I plan on releasing "early and often" and keeping track of my progress through Medium articles.
