I’m At Your Imagination on 22 W. 27th Street attending Ultra Light Startup’s Online Recruitment Panel, tonight.

A plug for New York Blog Academy starts off the session.

There’s only a minute for each pitch and way too many to write down, so’ll only note something when it stands out to me.

The first photo (last at the bottom of the post, is of Leticia Colon, who’s plugging  www. getmeajobtoday.org site). After the pitches and 2 slices of pizza, here we are.

Recruiting Riddle: have a 100K job, go to recruiter or go to job board. Even though it’s more than 100 times more expensive to use a recruiting service than, say, Monster.

Pretty interesting panel with our own Charlie O’Donnell (Path101) and 3 others.

Who benefits from this business model?

1. Hiring Manager (write job description, post job, post the job externally, interview prep, negotiate).

2. Job Seekers Needs (rewrite resume, career guidance).

3.publishers: Monetize Traffic (job boards, etc).

Path101- helps you figure out what to do next. What else is there for me to do. Crunch data, sounds similar to Monster’s Career Benchmarking tools. Path101 allows you to figure out your own path.

Ihavearec.com is a social network for recruiters. MAD-G to do next geration applications.

Jobscout.net tries to find the best job for a job seeker.

Urgentcareer.com helps job seekers and employers find the right matchup.

What I got, so far, that if your business model depends on the economy and finding a job, it’s problematic, now.

Charlie O’Donnell from Path 101(see Path 101 Raises Additional $200k; Total Raised $550k)

mentioned that some of the churn now is companies letting people they don’t think are worth keeping on.

One thought is the quality of applicants are very mixed, especially now.
