Comment on: Topic 'Has it become a Candidate driven market...Or has it been all along?': IT) side of the fence within this industry and not sure if my niche/industry is the most affected or not but it seems like those recruiters (here with my employer) that are in the Healthcare or Property Management division have no problems and are making the "Presidents Club" already half way through the year. I had great years in 08 and 09 (made the Presidents Club both years) and finally this "recession" caught up to me here in 2010...I am having the worst year since I began this back in 04 when I knew absolutely nothing about Recruiting let alone IT....In fact I think I did better in my first year. ha But the major reason for this "bad" year (in quotes because it could be a blessing in disguise...Trying to be optimistic as possible...lol) was due to declined offers. I have orders, have no problems getting new orders as well have no problem finding the talent and getting them engaged with my client but cant get the deal closed because of this "FEAR"...Or candidates trying to "bait and switch" me which is just pure douche-bagauchery (not to be confused with debauchery). Thank you Sandra, I appreciated your take on it. =)…; Added by Chaser at 3:57pm on August 6, 2010

Topic: Mobile Job Searching: Sex, Pies and Invigulate [sic]: t was immediately clear that JobServe’s new mobile offerings had been well received. However, it was only when a routine review of search terms was performed that it became evident some of the funny and unusual things that candidates are searching for using the job search tools. The majority of the searches for ‘sex’ originated from Australia [Ed: No comment]. Some of the more optimistic candidates were searching for ‘sex’ combined with the ‘jobs near me’ feature. One (presumably) more desperate candidate even put ‘anywhere’ in the search location! For those of you losing hope, one particularly self-assured candidate from the UK searched for a job as a ‘Sex God’ – so there is definitely at least one left out there! Amongst some of the other less fruitful searches, were searches for ‘casheir’, ‘invigulator’, ‘wearhouse’ and ‘midwive’ [sic]. Perhaps one tip for candidates is to at least be familiar with the correct spelling of your key search terms. The search for ‘cooking pies’ was more surprising - presumably either a disgruntled ‘pastry chef’ or someone who got their JobServe and Betty Crockers’ Recipe App mixed-up! With JobServe delivering its first iPhone app in October 2009, its first iPad app in April 2010 and the latest release of its mobile website (http://mobile.jobserve.ca) in June 2010, usage and online applications have soared. Statistics for JobServe’s mobile application suite alone show a constant and strong growth in candidates using the apps/mobile website, and their corresponding applications. The evidence clearly shows that candidates not only search for jobs whilst on the move, but apply as well. The explosion of smart phones and ever increasing feature sets mean that users demand richer mobile experiences, and JobServe is already working on its next generation of mobile apps. Included in these is Mobile Headhunter, JobServe’s mobile Resume Search tool, scheduled for release August 2010. In this fast technological world, JobServe remains committed to deliver both quality and innovation to its customers and candidates alike. About JobServe JobServe Canada was formed in January 2007 as the result of the acquisition of JobShark.com, Canada’s largest independent job board. With its Canadian headquarters in Ottawa, Ontario, and its global headquarters in Essex, UK, JobServe also has offices in the USA, Australia, and Thailand. JobServe was the world’s first Internet Recruitment Service, formed in late 1993 by Robbie Cowling. JobServe is part of the Aspire Media Group.
