In the face of the recession and economic crisis of 2008, IAEWS was born. Time and time we had been told that job boards were dead. We spent the last 7 years defeating that false claim. When people say that today, (have you noticed you don’t hear that very often anymore) it kinds of rings hollow, because people have recognized that job boards have changed. I liked the recent article I saw in the XXX that said is LinkedIn still a job board, after the acquisition of the learning company. The same editorial that once claimed job boards were dead, now recognizes Linkedin as one of the most successful job boards.
Its no coincidence that back in 2008, the primary focus of the IAEWS conferences was social media.
