Make yourself the face of your job site or recruiting technology (member only)
I got off the call today with a consulting client who started his job board in February 2013. Its in the ‘work at home’ category. He asked me how to get clients. Part of the answer, I told him, is to make himself the face of the company. People do business with people they know…so…

Should your job board have ‘featured jobs’? (member only)
