6. WE ALSO HAVE NEW LEADERS IN THE ECONOMY
While the world’s
largest companies
used to be from the Oil
& Gas industry, they
are now technology
companies.
7. AS JOB BOARDS CONSOLIDATE, THEY NOW COMPETE WITH THE TECH GIANTS
Will Google choose to
enter the job
aggregator realm?
How will the new
Microsoft-Linkedin
compete with
Facebook?
Advertising
budgets are
moving
Will the job board
industry further
consolidate?

9. Job boards and marketplaces
are losing market share
• Millennials are twice as likely to apply
for a job through the employer’s
career site than through a job board
• Recruitment advertising is
increasingly being spent where the
talent lives: on social media and
messaging apps.
Digital marketing is the new
recruiting
• Companies are reducing their
recruiter headcount in favour of
hiring digital communication gurus
and content marketers
• Investing in employer brand is the
better long-term investment
• Attracting passive job seekers an
effective way to increase employee
retention (reduce churn)
