  • How to predict hires in the absence of disposition data

    How to predict hires in the absence of disposition data
    Dec 11 2025
    The need to collect and use disposition data has massively increased as recruitment advertising has moved from newspapers to traditional job boards to job boards which are largely performance-basis. But disposition data can mean differ things, and the ways of collecting and using it differ too. Today's guest on the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast is Jennifer Johansson, the founder and CEO of Placed. Since its founding in 2016, it's grown from being a UK-based app focused on frontline hiring to also helping employers with non-frontline roles and also in Germany and the United States. Cohosts Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site discuss with Jennifer why Placed collects and uses data such as applications, interviews, offers, and even hires and where it can be a challenge to do so.

  • Jobs data in the AI era

    Jobs data in the AI era
    Nov 27 2025
    Our industry has existed for more than three decades, yet a still undervalued element of it is the data that almost any job board of any size possesses. And we're not talking about resumes / CVs. We're talking about the job postings. Today's guest on the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast is Patrick Martinchek of JobFront.io, which uses AI to scrape, enhance, distribute, and otherwise manage job data at scale. It's customers include job boards but, more interestingly, organizations who recognize that job data reflects problems and opportunities faced by the employers and might impact their financial prospects. Cohosts Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site discuss with Patrick use cases for the data, some of which have become economically viable because of the plummeting cost of using OpenAI and its competitors.

  • Breaking News: ChatGPT traffic worse than job boards, other sources

    Breaking News: ChatGPT traffic worse than job boards, other sources
    Nov 17 2025
    There's been an widely held belief that users of ChatGPT and other LLMs are better informed and deliberative before clicking to visit a consumer site to buy a product or even apply to a job. That belief seems to be wrong. Today's guests on the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast are Maximilian Kaiser of Grips Intelligence and Dr. Prof. Christian Schulze of the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management. Together, they just published a paper at https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5585812 , which shows that traffic from traditional sources such as job boards and Google convert at a much higher rate than traffic from LLMs, although the gap is narrowing. Cohosts Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group (Marketplaces / Classifieds) and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site ask why traffic from traditional sites converts better, if the impact on career sites differs from shopping sites, and how long it will take for the gap to disappear.
