I had a chance to talk to Derek O’Neill about his new recruitment web site launched recently TxtAJob.ie. It is a first Irish site to offer a free jobs advertising to employers, and charges job hunters for receiving the job advertisements via the SMS messages. Here is what Derek has to say:

EmployIreland – €149 (includes CV Database)
LoadzaJobs – €280
Jobs.ie – €390
Irish Jobs -€950
The last two sites Jobs.ie and [...]

More companies also are adding job postings and career centers to their Web sites, [...]

Irish Jobs had the approach ‘If you can’t beat them, buy them!’ for many years now. Then Worky came. With most likely slightly too big price tag for the current market. Remember Worky has the global ambitions.

Who says there is no such thing as a free lunch?

I got a mail this morning from Jobs.ie web site. They are offering me a 100€ career workshop.

A study by Irish jobs website MyHorizon has found that 94 percent of Irish people are not working in their dream job.

Silicon Republic, Ireland’s leading technology news web site published a nice review of Jobs Blog:

Jobs Market works for you!
There are three fundamentally bad aspects of the jobs boards:

2. The job board has effectively restricted access to [...]

Worky is a Recruitment Social Network. Kind of like LinkedIN, but a few years later. Worky has no people in it jet, but has the pricing model – a bit steeper than LikedIN.
What is wrong here:
RecruitIreland goes FREE and in the same month Worky is goes live more expensive than LinkedIN, that Irish [...]

If you are a recruiter in Ireland I am guessing you would like your jobs to be advertised in real time in as many publications as you can afford.
