Will the new Monster and Indeed arise?
30 years ago, Monster.com emerged, known in the Netherlands as Monsterboard.nl. It marked the beginning of an entirely new market, the job board industry, today worth at least 64 billion dollars worldwide. Monster, owned by Randstad and still a strong brand in the job market, was surpassed by Indeed over 15 years ago, which has since become the global market leader. Indeed is now announcing a new generation of job boards, namely labour market platforms where candidates will be matched more through AI, and employers will increasingly place their recruitment and vacancies in the hands of Indeed. While the entire market is in turmoil over the strategic choices Indeed is making and the impact this has on the Staffing industry and ATSs, candidates are dealing with a completely different generation of ‘job boards’, namely AI.
Indeed is now announcing a new generation of job boards, namely labour market platforms where candidates will be matched more through AI, and employers will increasingly place their recruitment and vacancies in the hands of Indeed. While the entire market is in turmoil over the strategic choices Indeed is making and the impact this has on the Staffing industry and ATSs, candidates are dealing with a completely different generation of ‘job boards’, namely AI.
Indeed, its AI matching and labour market platform will remain decisive and maintain control of the job board industry in the coming years. But the new game changer is ready in the wings. Instead of job seekers searching for and reading vacancies, AI will do that for you. AI will also apply for you and ensure your CV matches the required vacancies perfectly. Only when an employer is interested will you, as a job seeker, consider if it’s something for you. AI is going to change the game.
Below, I have listed the potential new Monsters or Indeeds. But more than 80 are already lurking in these wings (mainly found within TikTok).
