The End of Jobs (.co.nz)

This week we were greeted with the sad announcement from Jobs.co.nz that they had placed themselves into voluntary liquidation. Sad, from a few different angles really. A product that caused barely a ripple on the Australasian market dominance of SEEK ultimately failed in its' bid to change the prescribed and traditional way…

Is Twitter Really a Recruiting Tool?
