TradeMe Jobs API

It seems everyone is releasing APIs at the moment. TradeMe’s public API has been out for a few weeks now and I have finally managed to get around to building some examples. The TradeMe API is built on a simple RESTful standard. It uses HTTP request methods to GET/POST data via XML/JSON.

You Are Here!

Soon, all browsers will support the HTML5 Geolocation API by default. Geolocation is the core function behind sites like Foursquare which can work out where you are located. I have previously talked about using Geolocation services used for sourcing or stalking candidates, but it does have some other uses in online recruitment.

Inspecht Software Directory

Over the last few weeks I have had a new site/service built, the Inspecht Software Directory . Basically a service to help Australian and New Zealand businesses learn about the different options they have for their HR/Payroll/Talent Management/Recruitment/Applicant Tracking systems. Right now there is basic information on over 100 vendors who service the Australian and New Zealand across  seven different major categories: Business Intelligence Consultancy Core HR/Payroll HR Service Delivery Recruiter Tools Talent Management Workforce Management Each free listing provides some basic information about the vendor including: Company Name Short Description Website Major Category Listing Social Media Links Inclusion in the soon to be released API There will be premium listings which allow vendors to take complete control of their listing covering logos, detailed descriptions, multiple category listing, target markets, and tags. While there are other similar services by some of our associations and media publications the Inspecht Software Directory is slightly different. Along with the default features there are several designed to help organisations make their purchasing decisions. Some examples. Users can quickly see who within their LinkedIn network they might know who works or has worked for the vendor. Each vendor enter has multiple method of client reviews, free listings allow a 1 to 5 vote to be placed. Featured listing allow vendors to have clients provide written reviews and testimonials of their products. Which can be rated for their usefulness. Single click to review the least Google news about the vendor. Direct links to company blogs and Twitter accounts if the organisation has them. Share price data for public companies. Initial background information on the vendor from ASIC based on ACN searches. Each of these features are designed to help organisations save time and money in creating short lists of potential vendors. While the service is free to use and place initial listings, access to the premium features do require the vendors to pay an annual subscription.

Workforce Analytics: Following the employees

I ran across an interesting post from the LinkedIn blog, via Steve Barham from LinkedIn , entitled Where did all the people go from the collapsed financial institutions? . The post was looking at the flow of employees between five major financial services companies: Barclays Credit Suisse Citigroup Bank Of America JP Morgan Chase This image shows the amazing amount of data that is available from LinkedIn both via public searches and as a premium paying member, to quote the post: To be specific, other than two acquiring companies (Bank of America acquired Merrill Lynch and Nomura acquired Lehman Brothers’ franchise in the Asia Pacific region), Barclays was by far the biggest beneficiary, scooping up 10% of the laid off talent, followed by Credit Suisse at 1.5% and Citigroup at 1.1 %. While an interesting look at talent movement it got me thinking. A couple of questions came to mind: Do you use external talent movement data in your workforce planning/sourcing strategy planning? Does your workforce analytics program allow you the same sort of analysis? I would suspect most companies would answer No to both questions. The cynical might also ask why would you want this information. So let’s look at a couple of examples: Example 1: Your organisation is experiencing rapid growth in one particular area of the business, so you need to recruit more employees. Access this information would allow you to target the “usual suspects” for new talent but you could also look to see if there had been a major exodus to other organisations that may not be on your “usual suspects” list. These organisations may not be prepared for an all out assault on their talent. Example 2: Can you produce graphs that show where each division of your organisation is getting is best performing employees, covering both internal and external movements? Not a purely LinkedIn example but highlighting similar talent flows. A final note there is no reason why your HR/Payroll/ERP/People Management/Whatever System should not be launching these sorts of features. For example  LinkedIn opened its API up to developers almost 6 months ago.

Do you provide an API?

Every website wants to have the highest number of visitors, and unfortunately this will either cost you lots of money or take you a considerable amount of time building a community. One of the ways you can build a traffic referral network and engage with your community is by providing an API.

TwitterJobSearch mashup with Google Maps

TwitterJobSearch has created a widget with the Google Maps API to provide a geographical representation of the jobs posted. One of the main problems with this mashup is that users are not specifying the job’s location in the tweet.
