College Recruiter

Jim Durbin of Respondable Recruitment Marketing is known by those in the job board and other talent acquisition technology communities as the Indeed Whisperer.

He's a frequent and welcome attendee of the monthly Job Board Leaders' Roundtable calls hosted by Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site. Today, Jim was our guest.

We discussed the impact AI is having on Indeed, other job boards, and the entire recruitment industry. The benefits are many and significant. But so are the problems. Some lump all into one bucket and call it "fake resumes". And, some are from fake people committing corporate espionage. Others, however, are more akin to AI slop as they represent real people applying to real jobs, but do a terrible job of communicating the credentials of the candidate.

Are the solutions easy? No, but our group today discussed several that should help the industry make progress, even if the outcomes are not perfect.

Our industry may be several decades old, but it seems like the pace of change has only been accelerating over the past couple of years. That change includes technology, but also leadership, investors, and ownership.

Sarah White of Sarah White Advisory and Strategy Lemon joins the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast to talk about some of that change, with a focus on what owners, founders, and leaders should be thinking about if they're considering exiting their business.

Our cohosts, Peter M. Zollman of the AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site share some of what they've seen done well and not so well, and find out why 24-36 months is both important and yet also not necessary.
