Who is reading Recruiting.com?

by Lance Haun on October 3, 2007

Is anybody reading recruiting.com as of late? On the front page right now, the top article has six total votes and there is a mess of single vote articles right now. A large majority of articles are more than one day old as well. According to my count, there were all of FOUR stories posted on recruiting.com on October 3rd (that includes two from the editor).

This is not a slight or some passive aggressive attack on recruiting.com, it is simply an honest question. Looking at alexa, their traffic has tanked.

I guess I am curious as to who is still reading, why the drop off and what big plans are in store for recruiting.com?

I love this website. I don’t end up voting for articles or replying to often so I guess I am more of a passive user. As a Recruiter, I do think there are some great insights.

I don’t read it anymore except occaisionally if I see an interesting headline pop up on my rss feed. I used to read recruiting.com religiously prior to the change in format – I feel like there used to be debate, fire, and interesting topics – it was kind of like the place where everyone went to see the big game. With the new format it now feels like the TVguide channel. Perhaps that’s a good thing, it’s probably driving traffic elsewhere.
