Hmm - Ferretly, Prepper, and Recruitroo seem to indicate a resurgence in slightly silly names in our industry. At least I think so. Last time around we saw news from Jobindex and this time we get some more news from them. So let's dig…
After a decade-long warm-up -finally -AI is affecting job boards. As I've written earlier this year, generative AI has some obvious use-cases for job boards and ATSs. In fact, if you take a darker view, generative AI may do away…
