  • Using data to reach a passive or pre-passive audience

    Using data to reach a passive or pre-passive audience

    Today's guest on the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast holds a patent related to what we now know as programmatic job advertising. Jason S. Gorham is the co-founder of TalentXi-TalentXtended Intelligence, which is bringing consumer-style, true programmatic advertising to the world of job advertising. Cohosts Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site and Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group talk with Jason about how TalentXi takes a job posting ad, converts it into a display ad, hyper targets candidates on consumer sites such as Amazon.com, and takes them from pre-passive to passive to engaged to applicants. If all of your employer customers are receiving more than enough well-qualified applicants to all of their roles, they probably don't need TalentXi. But virtually no employer does, and that's probably why they're working with you, and might also want to work with TalentXi, either directly or through you.

    Len Ward, founder of Commexis, joins the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast to share his vision (and a few fun historical and military analogies) about how AI is and will continue to impact our industry, including the candidates and employers we serve. Unlike many AI experts, Len is bullish on the ability of the smallest sites to not survive and even thrive. Sure, the small guys have always been the most nimble but Len says that their future prosperity is not just about being nimble. Cohosts Peter M. Zollman of the AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site dig into how AI is and will help and hurt job boards of all sizes. If you're wondering what your next steps should be in this new world, Len has the answers.

  • ATS and RPO: Friend or foe?

    ATS and RPO: Friend or foe?
    2026/06/11
    We're taking a little trip down memory lane on today's episode of the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast. One of our cohosts, Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group, is unavailable and so our other cohost, Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site, is flying solo. Steven talks with Jeanette Leeds, COO of College Recruiter, about applicant tracking systems (ATS), recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) organizations, and whether they used to and currently play nicely with job boards. Do they view our industry a complementary, or competitive? Are those feelings reciprocal?

  • Will voice apply take over the world?

    Will voice apply take over the world?
    2026/05/28
    If there's one thing that never changes about job boards it is that they never stop changing. Our businesses, at a very high level, are pretty much the same as they were when our industry came into existence in the 1990s. But, scratch the surface, and almost nothing is the same. A change that some believe is imminent is the replacement of the written job posting, resume, or both with something else. Could that something else be voice? Instead of searching a job board for postings and applying by uploading a resume, will candidates instead be called by AI, go through an automated screening process, and be hired in a few days instead of a few week? Prompted by the recent acquisition of Ben Groves' ApplyCall.Jobs by Tom Chevalier's Tink AI, our cohosts, Peter M. Zollman of the AIM Group (Marketplaces / Classifieds) and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site debate.

  • State of the AI art in recruitment marketplaces

    State of the AI art in recruitment marketplaces
    2026/05/14
    Cohost Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group is home from Budapest, Hungary, the site of their 2026 RecBuzz conference. By all accounts, it was a tremendous success. Peter shares some of the highlights of the discussions with cohost Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site, including the shift away from traditional metrics of success such as traffic, listings, and applications and to placement rates. SEEK, for example, is saying that it is now the source for 36 percent of hires in its home market of Australia. Driving much of this shift in metrics is the shift toward the use of AI for matching, screening, and even selection. Will job boards / recruitment marketplaces continue to play a major role over the coming years?

  • Why we need to treat candidates as participants, not inputs

    Why we need to treat candidates as participants, not inputs
    2026/04/30
    Today's guest on the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast is Saïd Eastman, a 20-year industry veteran and former executive at Monster and CareerBuilder. Cohost Peter M. Zollman of the AIM Group is in Budapest, Hungary for its annual RecBuzz conference, so our other cohost, Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site, talks with Saïd about how the stealth start-up that he is leading is aiming to bring much needed improvement to the industry by providing the tools and incentives so that candidates become active participants instead of products. Saïd and Steven discuss how there's no simple solution. Some of what is required is a change to how we think about the process, and some requires some technology such as blockchain to validate credentials and engagement.
