Podcasts about jobster

In dieser Podcast-Folge spreche ich mit Raphael Egli, Gründer von jobster.ch, über Recruiting und warum der Erfolg im Recruiting mit dem Blick nach innen beginnt. Statt auf Buzzwords und altbekannte Worthülsen setzt Jobster auf einen Matching-Ansatz. Dieser berücksichtigt sowohl die Persönlichkeit der Kandidatinnen und Kandidaten wie auch die Kultur einer Unternehmung. Nach über 200 erfolgreichen Rekrutierungskampagnen weiss Raphi wovon er spricht. Er erzählt, ✅ Wieso die meisten Unternehmen gar nicht wissen, was sie als guter Arbeitgeber wirklich ausmacht ✅ Was passiert, wenn eine Firma ihre DNA vor der Rekrutierungskampagne klärt ✅ Warum Klarheit, Kultur und ein echtes Werteversprechen stärker wirken als jedes Benefit-Paket ✅ Wie das Zusammenspiel von Social Media und Recruiting funktioniert und wo die meisten Firmen dabei scheitern ✅ wie ein Bewerbungs-Quiz dafür sorgt, dass sich nur die passenden Kandidatinnen und Kandidaten überhaupt bewerben Links zu Raphael Egli und Jobster: Website: https://jobster-recruitment.ch LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/raphael-egli/ Podcast „Die Jobster Recruiting Show": https://jobster-recruitment.ch/podcast

In this episode, we discuss the acquisition of Pento, a Copenhagen-born payroll automation platform, by HiBob, an Israeli-based HRIS. The terms of the deal remain undisclosed, but the acquisition aims to create an all-in-one solution, streamlining the entire payroll workflow. Founded in 2017, Pento had raised around $54 million. The acquisition is expected to save time for various teams by simplifying the traditionally cumbersome payroll process. We also delve into the latest earnings reports from various companies in the HR and recruiting industry. Recruit Holdings reported a decrease in revenue due to a contraction in hiring activities in the U.S. and Europe. DHI Group, the owners of Dice and Clearance Jobs, experienced a decline in revenue, primarily driven by a decrease in revenue from Dice. Randstad reported a drop in revenue, attributing it to global economic uncertainty. Monster revenue was also down. Despite a roaring U.S. economy, these companies are facing challenges, including upskilling, less job-hopping, and the need for internal networking. In other news, the Biden administration announced a $5 billion investment to support research and development in advanced computer chips. This initiative aims to reverse the decline in the U.S. semiconductor manufacturing industry and boost domestic production of advanced semiconductors. However, companies are struggling to adapt quickly enough to a convergence of tech, generational turnover, and the fast pace of change. About 44% of workers' skills are set to be disrupted in the next five years, and about 60% of workers will require training in the next three years. Jobster, the company behind the world's first predictive job advertising platform, is making a comeback. Jobster, first famous in the mid-2000s, is now back under new ownership. The return of Jobster could signal a new programmatic ad solution in the job market. Lastly, Neon Money Club, a fintech platform, has launched a new dating app called Score, which requires users to have a credit score of at least 675. Users who are denied access will be directed to resources to improve their financial literacy and credit scores. The app has received mixed reactions due to its exclusionary nature, with some viewing it as aspirational and others seeing it as perpetuating class divides. Neon Money Club has raised over $10 million in venture capital and is the first Black-owned tech business to launch a credit card with AMEX.

Do the names H3, Zubka, YorZ, Jobster, Refer.com and KarmaOnef mean anything to you? How about Indeed Crowd? Still no? Well, they're all that created a referral marketplace and eventually called it quits. History does not look fondly on empowering regular people to promote jobs to their networks for money. Draftboard, however, thinks they've cracked the code. CEO and founder Zach Roseman joins the boys on a lively episode of Firing Squad. To say Zach had a mountain to climb is an understatement, but he just may sway the world into his way of thinking. We are all recruiters? Well, maybe ... maybe not. Gotta listen to see if Draftboard survives the Firing Squad.

Hope Gurion is a seasoned professional with a background in product management, business development, and coaching within the tech industry. As the founder of Fearless Product, she plays a pivotal role in advising and supporting product leaders and teams. Hope's career traces back to the early stages of the internet, where she contributed to shaping digital experiences. She held positions at AOL, Jobster, CareerBuilder, and Beachbody, and she brings a wealth of experience in dealing with various challenges in product development, business growth, and leadership. In this episode of the Unlearn Podcast, Hope joins Barry O'Reilly to discuss her career journey, emphasizing the importance of persistence, adaptability, and shared vision within product teams.The Reach of Shared VisionHope reflects on her experience at AOL, particularly in AOL Shopping. Despite creating a detailed Product Requirements Document (PRD), the disconnect between her vision and the final designs revealed the necessity for shared understanding among team members. This disconnect eventually led to a breakdown in trust. Hope emphasizes that everyone should comprehend the business context and constraints. “It was just a learning moment for me in terms of, do you really have [a] shared vision?” she tells Barry. “Does everybody on the team really understand the business context of what we're trying to do?” This situation was common in the early 2000s tech landscape, Barry says. “There's still plenty of companies living in that world of siloed teams, lack of cross-functional groups.”Jack of Many TradesHope shares a key moment from her professional evolution, recounting a significant turning point when Matt Ferguson, the CEO of CareerBuilder, offered her a position. Hope initially turned down the role due to personal reasons, but Matt persisted, expressing a genuine belief in her potential and leaving the door open for future collaboration. This persistence became a catalyst for Hope's subsequent transition to CareerBuilder. It demonstrates how a leader's perseverance can reshape an individual's career trajectory. Hope's career evolution also highlights her adaptability. She navigated various roles, from AOL to CareerBuilder. Her eagerness to find ways to grow the business and diversify revenue streams led to her role as Chief Product Officer.From Chief to CoachHope's transition from being a leader in various companies to becoming a coach and advisor wasn't a predetermined career move, she shares. Barry prompts Hope to reflect on this shift, asking about the triggers and the unlearning process required. Hope's career shift was triggered by certain constraints she experienced in her role as CPO. At CareerBuilder, she faced the challenge of training and developing individuals from diverse backgrounds into product-related roles due to certain constraints. This experience became foundational for her belief in the coachability and trainability of product leader roles. Her coaching venture was a result of requests for interim consulting, leading to her collaboration with Teresa Torres. Reflecting on her coaching transition, Hope shares, “Knowing what types of skills I think are coachable and trainable, and knowing that was something that I got a lot of satisfaction doing and had seen a lot of different scenarios [of], is what gave me confidence that I could do this to a certain segment of people."Looking AheadHope advises listeners to focus on fundamental questions such as understanding the customer, evaluating alternatives, and articulating the unique value proposition, emphasizing the importance of alignment and shared understanding within product teams to drive forward progression.ResourcesHope Gurion on LinkedIn | X(Twitter)Fearless Product

Raphael Egli ist Gründer und Geschäftsführer von Jobster, eine Social Recruiting Agentur, die ihre Kunden dabei unterstützt, auf innovative Weise neue Mitarbeitende zu finden. Ende 2019 entstand die Idee, Online-Marketing für Handwerksunternehmen anzubieten. Schnell hat man aber festgestellt, dass viele Handwerksunternehmen kein Interesse an Marketing haben. Dafür einen umso grösseren Bedarf an neuen Mitarbeitenden. Fachkräftemangel scheint in aller Munde zu sein – nicht nur bei Handwerksunternehmen. Nach einem überaus erfolglosen Start hat man darum kurzerhand die Dienstleistung umgestellt. Anstelle Kunden zu gewinnen, unterstützen Jobster nun seit zwei Jahren Unternehmen dabei, neue Mitarbeitende zu finden. Die Methode dafür ist ähnlich. Letzten Endes geht es immer darum, das Unternehmen zu «Verkaufen» - an potenzielle Kunden oder Kandidatinnen und Kandidaten.

As far back as he can remember Travis Scott has always called himself a plant nerd. Growing up in a small town in Indiana, he loved spending time outside in nature and in the public library where he would pour through books about plants and science. Travis thought he would pursue a career in landscape architecture but in college, he decided to major in environmental science.  Travis' career has been anything but linear. He has taken several diverse turns along the way into environmental consulting with the Department of Defense, sales and account management, corporate recruitment, and, for the past decade-plus, marketing - specifically marketing and sales operations. The kinds of companies Travis has worked at are equally diverse including startups (Jobster), Fortune 500 companies (Microsoft, Comcast, and Booking.com), and private companies (technology, steel, hospitality, supply chain and distribution).  Today, Travis is the Founder of RainierDigital, a consultancy helping companies solve interesting operational problems in marketing and sales.  In this week's Work From The Inside Out podcast, learn more about Travis' journey: Travis is currently enrolled in Washington State University's Master Gardener Program.   He is the author of Think Differently: How Recruitment Marketing Gets You Noticed Over the Noise.  Learn more and connect with Travis here: https://www.facebook.com/rainierdigital https://linkedin.com/in/travisscott24 https://www.facebook.com/milehighguy https://twitter.com/509marketer www.rainierdigital.com

In this episode, my guest Bitfinex CTO, Paolo Ardoino shares with me the innovations he’s used to improve the Bitfinex platform and prevent hacking. After the Bitfinex hack, I found their decision to spread the loss across their user base through an exchange created token morally questionable.

The problem of jobs looms over much of our national discourse, especially in an election year. It seems that weeks have turned to months and months have turned to years as we’ve been waiting for sustained improvement in the area of employment, with no particular reason to believe that change is coming any time soon. Some pundits are even suggesting that relatively high levels of unemployment are becoming endemic, and that some loss of middle-class jobs may be permanent. In fact we’ve had pundits on this very program make exactly that point. Meanwhile, even as 13 million Americans are officially listed as unemployed, there are millions of jobs that are unfilled and may go on being unfilled for some time. Are we suffering from one or more blind spots when we survey the job market? And if so, what can we do to correct our vision -- how do we start matching some of these people who need jobs with some of these jobs who need people?About Our Guest: Dan Ridge is the CEO and Founder at CATO Services. He is also the Consultant and Chief Star Gazer at 5 Star Consulting Group, a leading talent acquisition, retention and right-sizing consulting firm. Dan Works with established companies and start ups ventures, with a focus on identifying opportunities for clients and delivering solutions that represent best practices and a significant ROI.
