There are 2 major trends in the online job board industry right now – a move toward niche job sites and profile-based matching techniques (as opposed to key word search).

Corporate and independent recruiters are using niche sites to find better qualified candidates faster. According to the a Director of Talent Management at a large government services company, “my recruiters don’t have time to read the large numbers of resumes that are dumped on us by Monster.com and the other main stream job boards. We need more focused and better tools so that we look at fewer, but better, candidates.”

Several job sites are beginning to use profile matching, a technique similar to that used by dating sites like eHarmony and others, to produce better job matches for both candidates and employers.

After several years of development, we have launched a turn-key job site system for niche job sites that incorporates state-of-the-art profile matching technology. An example of our system can be found at GovernmentSupportJobs.com. The Government Support Jobs site focuses on the government and government contracting industry. We are offering to license this system to individuals who wish to develop job sites in other industries. Examples of available industries include health care, information technology, accounting and finance, consulting, construction, public safety, engineering, retail, and others.

What do you get when you license our system? We provide a complete turn-key site with 200 hours of modifications/customization/consultation, tips on how to market your site, and access to our IT and business development experts.

What do you need to provide? You need to have some expertise in the field you have targeted (or have access to someone who does). This expertise is needed to tailor the site to your industry. You also need to market the site. We’ll tell you how and will help you with search engine optimization, but you will need to do the marketing. You will also need your own merchant account to accept payment. We can provide guidance on this if you don’t know where to start. Finally, you need an intense desire to start and run your own business and a passion for helping people find jobs. The system can be licensed for $1599/month.
