Comments on: Porter’s five forces model view of the job board industry http://destinationtalent.com.au/blog/2009/05/27/porters-five-forces-model-view-of-the-job-board-industry/ A portal for all things recruitment in Australia Wed, 14 Sep 2011 09:52:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Carey Eaton http://destinationtalent.com.au/blog/2009/05/27/porters-five-forces-model-view-of-the-job-board-industry/comment-page-1/#comment-1822 Carey Eaton Tue, 16 Jun 2009 04:58:27 +0000 http://www.destinationtalent.com.au/blog/2009/05/27/porters-five-forces-model-view-of-the-job-board-industry/#comment-1822 The latest Neilsen traffic figures which show the top two players at an all time traffic high. Don't have access to the hard data that some of the ATS providers have, but I think you'll find applications per job ad on job boards are the highest they have ever been in history at the moment. This data probably doesn't support your thesis that number three is the weakest link here. Probably the metric you're looking for is 'exclusive audience' rather than 'audience' - hard to measure in the social arena, but it doesn't look like there's a migration to social or other experimental models at the expense of job boards which ever way you look at it.
