Ed Frauenheim's Workforce week article, Bank Withdrawal: The Closure of America’s Job Bank, was the best description of the issues leading to AJBs demise I've read to date. http://www.workforce.com/section/06/feature/24/99/21/index.html

 

Time to move on.

 

I'm surprised more firms- especially sites like Monster.com, CareerBuilder and Hotjobs as well as job distribution services such as eQuest have not developed solutions for their client (employer) communities or, if they have, I've somehow missed their announcement.

 

Specifically, I want to see employers able to distribute their openings to the individual employment offices that operate in the communites where the employer is hiring. The service should be very low cost (perhaps as an add on) and obviously user friendly.

 

This isn't rocket science. DirectEmployers is to be commended for taking the lead but where are all those "private industry" suppliers that the critics of AJB expected to take up the slack?
