A few years ago if a new job board company were to request a meeting to discuss how their services would be of value to corporate and agency recruiters, they’d likely have a slim-to-none chance of being heard out.  A few years ago a good job board meant a huge following of candidates.  Today with the online recruiting space rapidly evolving, these startup job sites are exactly who we want to be talking to as their integrated technology comes with far more targeted intelligence than our industry is used to.
