I recently had one of my articles published on Cheezhead about people boards as opposed to job boards.  Unsurprisingly, the article provoked a lot of reaction…..some negative (from seasoned job boarders I’m guessing) and a lot positive.

My simple and brief definition of a job board is as follows:

1. enables people to promote their skills
2. enables people to publish their availability and references
3. enables people to control how their data is presented and how they can be contacted
4. allows employers to search for people
5. 1-4 MUST be free of charge

Do you agree? Have I missed something from the list?  Let me know…I’ll behappy to debate it.
