ELFA officially launched their new job board today in an email to the membership.

Being a member recruiter I wasted no time in signing up for an account and posting some openings in Southern California that we are working on. (I have some excellent opportunities there)
The interface is simple and functional and I enjoyed the process. Although I was confused about how to take advantage of the code they listed that doubles the length of the ad and resume search the customer service was eager, friendly and resolved the issue (my bad) in no time at all.
The job search function is smartly engineered and I think they will see some traffic there. You can also search the jobs without registering a resume which allows for confidentiality for the candidate so it should be highly effective in attracting visitors to look at the jobs posted.
The resume search function (which is enabled once you create and pay for a posting) is also easy to use. There were only 9 resumes posted there right now so it was not effective for me today. However I do have high confidence that this will be a valuable resource for attracting talented individuals from and into our industry.

I will be interested in the marketing that they do with this. I am sure they will market it to conference attendees and their membership lists. I personally offered to market this through the NAELB. EAEL and UAEL for them but there was never any follow up from them. (I intend on marketing it anyway because I do believe it will develop into a good resource)
My hope as a recruiter is that the new ELFA Jobsite will have global exposure and also compete with the Monitor as a place for companies to post their jobs. (The Monitor currently sells job postings to companies but does not allow other recruiters to buy ads)

I will track the development of the site (especially the number of resumes added over the next 60 days) and blog on it as it develops for those who have an interest.
Below is the announcement for those of you who are not members of the ELFA.


This was announced today and there are 41 jobs posted already.
