Top Ten Survival Tips For Job Boards

I recently had the privilege of guest blogging for Cheezhead.com on a topic of my choice related to the recruitment industry.  This was an exciting opportunity for Beyond.com, and as have been focusing on strengthening our social media exposure since launching our blog, EmploymentMetrix.com in April.

Cheezhead.com is one of the most well-known recruitment industry blogs, so I decided to tailor by blog to focus on tips on how job boards can survive the economic recession.

Here are my top 10 tips:

1. Ensure profitability. 
2. Be aware and avoid seeking funding. 
3. Diversify your revenue stream.
4. Take calculated risks.
5. Understand how job seekers and employers think. 
6. Look under the hood. 
7. Listen and be lenient with your customers. 
8. Build your brand.
9. Manage what you can control.  
10. Stay positive.
