When I sold the domain name Recruiting.com to Jobster
two years ago or so, I never really thought I would see the day where
the opportunity may present itself to maybe somehow buy it back.Now I have no indication at all from Jobster that they are looking to
sell the domain name but they know that I am interested in getting that
name back and into the hands of RecruitingBlogs.com.Jobster has really changed since they acquired the domain name 2 years
ago or so. It’s quite amazing to see the transformation. As a
shareholder I’m disappointed and as the former owner of what was
Recruiting.com, I am blown away.It’s obvious that the way Jobster utilizes Recruiting.com brings them
absolutely no value whatsoever. One may even consider it a parked page
where the “revenue”? goes to those pumping it with self-promotion and
not to Jobster. Yes I do it sometimes but I am not nearly as guilty as
others. Again, Jobster gets nothing from this at all. The domain name
goes up in value so yes Jobster benefits that way but I don’t think
this is the business they want to be in. The way Recruiting.com was set
up brought no industry marketplace awareness to them.Jobster seems to be trying to regain focus and bring some understanding
in the marketplace to what it is they actually do. That’s a good thing.
They have a new CEO who is not from the online recruiting industry but
has a good track record. I had a conversation with him about a month
ago and I got a good feeling from him.

Thanks for mentioning this. I started buying domain names in 1997 and it has turned out to be real good decision so far. I read your blog all of the time. Thanks
