Employ Media is pushing a huge expansion of .jobs sites—250,000 or more sites—and SHRM conducted a backroom, behind closed doors evaluation of the proposal before recommending it to ICANN, the Internet’s governing board.
This issue will dramatically impact EVERY recruiter who relies on fair, independent job boards as a distribution channel for their job postings and as a fair, neutral, independent source of candidates.
It doesn’t matter whether you agree or disagree with the .jobs expansion, the recommendation process was flawed and serves nobody’s best interests—job boards, associations, staffing firms, employers or job seekers.
Recruiters: Please send ICANN an email RIGHT NOW voicing your concern about the process and asking them to require that the process be restarted and done correctly—out in the open and with full participation by all parties that will be affected.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant: RIGHT NOW please send an email to ICANN simply asking them to take the process away from SHRM and start all over again. It will take you 2 seconds to do this.
Address your email to jobs-phased-allocation@icann.org
Your email should simply state:
RE: DOT JOBS – PLEASE RESTART THIS PROCESS SO THAT OTHERS MAY BE HEARD.Please include your name and contact information in order to legitimize your request.
THE DEADLINE FOR COMMENTS ENDS TODAY. ALL RECRUITERS MUST BE HEARD ON THIS ISSUE BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.
CLICK HERE TO SEND YOUR EMAIL.
Please send this blog post to ten friends!
