  • We were there. What we learned.

    We were there. What we learned.
    Oct 30 2025
    Our cohosts, Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site and Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group get together for an episode with a few tricks and, hopefully, a lot of treats. They talk about what they learned on the fall conference circuit, and it was a lot. Peter discusses promising demos of new AI-powered hiring systems being rolled out by Indeed, LinkedIn, and other giants of our industry. Steven agrees with the promise of those outliers, but focuses more on what the small- and medium-sized players admit about their use of AI when off-the-record and how none of the systems works well unless both the employers and the candidates massively improve the data they're feeding into the systems in the way of job ads and resumes / CVs.

  • AI platform that applies to roles on LinkedIn, Indeed, and ZipRecruiter

    AI platform that applies to roles on LinkedIn, Indeed, and ZipRecruiter
    Oct 16 2025
    Today's guest on the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast is John Marino, the cofounder and CEO of Mashalot AI, a very new entrant into our space with a very different business model. John's vision for the new venture was born out of the frustration that he and his 19-year-old son experienced when applying to jobs on some of the largest job boards. The idea was to use AI to automate the search and application process and, instead of charging employers to advertise their job openings, candidates would pay. As a result, the site targets candidates with more money than time. So far, postings come primarily from Indeed, LinkedIn, and ZipRecruiter. John tells cohosts Peter M. Zollman of the AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site that they're not scraping postings but, instead, using a third-party who has authorization from the job boards to feed their job postings to Mashalot AI. Who that third-party might be is unknown to your cohosts at this time, but let us know in the comments below if you have any guesses. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    On today's episode of the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast, cohosts Peter M. Zollman of the AIM Group (Marketplaces / Classifieds) and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site talk about how buyers and sellers of job boards and other businesses go to conferences not just to learn about mergers and acquisitions, but also create those opportunities. Peter talks about some of the great people that he just saw at HR Tech including George LaRocque, Sarah White, and Mark Feffer. Our cohosts also talk about some of their favorite conferences such as RecBuzz, Job Boards Connect, TAtech, RecFest USA, Unleash, SHRM National, SHRM Talent Management, ERE, LinkedIn, and Indeed.

  • How AI is poised to disrupt online job search

    How AI is poised to disrupt online job search
    Sep 18 2025
    Today's guest on the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast is Bill Richards of WJR Advisory. Bill has worked for several, leading job boards including Indeed, eFinancialCareers, and Reed.co.uk and now advises others, including some new entrants into our space. Cohosts Peter M. Zollman of the AIM Group (Marketplaces / Classifieds) and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site talk with Bill about the impact that we're already seeing from the rapid adoption of AI but, more importantly, what we're likely to see and how we need to adapt. This is far from a Chicken Little conversation as no one talked about how AI is causing the sky to fall on our industry. Instead, the focus was on how best to adapt and prosper in this new environment. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Indeed is reporting interesting shifts in its tech talent research

    Indeed is reporting interesting shifts in its tech talent research
    Sep 15 2025
    On today's episode of the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast, Linsey Fagan, global strategist at Indeed, joins us to talk about its new research into tech hiring. Cohosts Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site talk with Linsey about the overall health of tech hiring (spoiler alert: it isn't great) but how that varies markedly when you look at different segments, such as entry-level versus experienced or even in different geographic areas. There are also some findings that may surprise you, including how many tech workers are happy in their jobs, how many are looking, and how aggressively they're looking. Peter then asks about the many changes at Indeed, both in terms of its leadership as well as its products, and Linsey responds directly to both. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Impact of Google's AI summaries on job board traffic
    Sep 4 2025
    Peter Hoogendijk, the head of product and operations for Aimwel, joins the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast to discuss new research by Aimwel into how Google's new, generative AI summaries above the traditional search results are killing traffic to job boards. Or is it? Cohosts Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group (Marketplaces / Classifieds) and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site discuss with their guest the struggles that many job boards are experiencing, particularly those that, for years, relied exclusively on free (organic) traffic from Google and are now finding that much and sometimes most of that has vanished. AIM Group is about to publish a more in-depth story in its Recruitment Intelligence Report and Marketplace Report, so be sure to read those for more insights. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • From niche to mass niche: Mediahuis' job board acquisition strategy

    From niche to mass niche: Mediahuis' job board acquisition strategy
    Aug 21 2025
    On today's episode of the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast, we learn about mergers and acquisitions from Patrick De Wachter of Mediahuis nv. Mediahuis features 1.4 million newspapers and more than two million digital news consumers per day in Belgium, the Netherlands, Ireland, Luxembourg, and Germany. It's 6,000 employees work daily for its newspaper titles, radio and television channels, and online platforms. Patrick focuses on evaluating potential acquisition targets and divestiture opportunities. That's interesting enough in normal times, but these aren't normal times as technology and business models are rapidly evolving. Some of how he's approaching these challenges may be different from what you might have thought, and certainly was different from what was thought by our cohosts, Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
