Hey NKT,
Thanks for the feedback.
Great question on how the job site might differentiate itself from dice.com etc.
One of the things that I found difficult with the major job sites was that the inventory of skills was too generic, ie. it was hard to add the skill of having ReportNet experience for example - the closest thing would be 'COGNOS'. Thus you have to type it into the free text area - which means it's a little harder for prospective employers to search.
This new site will provide (amongst other things):
- more product detail for the skills inventory to choose from (thus allowing employers to target prospective job seekers more effectively and vice versa)
- caters for the BI/DW community only
- updated job ads straight to the COGNOiSe news box, so you won't even have leave the COGNOiSe site to keep your finger on the pulse of the market
- these job feeds will only be for COGNOS-related roles (other non-COGNOS roles will be filtered which means less scrolling and visual pollution)
- caters for all countries (not just the US market)...I'm still struggling with the major COGNOS cities for each country so this may be of an iterative nature
Would love your/community's thoughts.
Perhaps you might like to help some of the team in user testing? Drop me a line if you're interested (
email@cognoise.com). I expect we might be in a position for a soft-launch in a few weeks' time.
Cheers,
Jon
