Jason Goldberg kicked off the 2006 ERExpo with a look at what Jobster sees as the future directions of online hiring.  You can watch the video from Jason’s talk here.

In the future, we believe that job search and advertising will shift towards being:

1. More targeted (search based, and contextual targeting)
2. More distributed (on thousands of websites, not just job board destinations)
3. More social (rich communities, online referrals and networking)

These shifts create opportunities for a new breed of technology driven employment services that provide alternatives to traditional “classifieds style” job advertising.
