Hmm - Ferretly, Prepper, and Recruitroo seem to indicate a resurgence in slightly silly names in our industry. At least I think so. Last time around we saw news from Jobindex and this time we get some more news from them. So let's dig…
Indeed changed its mind. First it said that its U.S. clients had to convert to the CPA model. Now it says that actually, they can still use CPC (although it has a new name, of course - 'branding'!). So what…

It's the end of the year - but not the end of job board industry news. Strange thing, that - the clock just keeps ticking on, doesn't it? In addition to a confirmation that Jobs on Facebook is really, really dead,…
In 2023, any employer that is using Indeed (and let's be honest, that's a lot of employers) will be using the pay per application (PPA) model. Why? Because Indeed says so. OK, it's a bit more complex than that, and…
