We are the people’s job platform
August 7th, 2008 in Random musings
Information has value … not when in isolation but only when its aggregated. That’s the premise to which wikipedia and many other aggregator businesses (e.g. mobile, newspapers etc.) has developed it value.
Translate that to the networks of people you know. We can aggregate all of that to provide a compelling database of candidates to employers. That’s what we are trying to do.
Imagine all the revenues and advertising money headhunting firms that build large candidate databases (that gets dated might I add). Since we own all that information, a significant part of the value of these companies should ‘technically belong to us’.
Hmm… perhaps I should pull out my dusty consulting skills and try to put this point down on a pretty powerpoint slide. Anyhow who wants to see that?
