Five reasons every niche site should have a job board

Here's an interesting angle: Julian Stopps on the bornpodcast.com blog says that all niche publications should run a job board. We agree - and it is something that Jobshout can be easily configured to do.

A few of his arguments equally apply to agencies and medium-sized companies upwards. It's cheap to implementm, it gets your site found and so can drive traffic to other parts of the site and it's yet another tool to combat the global talent shortage. And of course there are quite a few additional arguments which apply - the kudos it gives, the sense of professionalism that it imparts and, if your job board is really well search-engine-optimized (which Jobshout does as a matter of course), the tremendous web marketing tool it can be - probably the most cost-effective marketing tool you will ever find.

I will now leave my soapbox.
