Let's talk about revenue-oriented job boards for a second... I've seen a lot of posts lately claiming "job boards are dead". As someone who works with 800+ orgs, helping them build job boards and optimize them, I can assure you they are alive and well. Maybe the actual story is the revenue-generating job boards are going through a massive repackaging/repositioning. The future isn't pay-per-post. Maybe it's pay-for-performance. Instead of charging upfront fees, the new model could like this: → Post your job for free → Your Network AI Agents find and screen qualified candidates → You only get paid upon application / hire This brings talent acquisition into the world of performance marketing. You get what recruiters provide (quality candidates) without the 20% first-year salary fee. do you think pay-to-play job boards have a role in the future of hiring?

For smaller communities, the best candidates for your open roles might be people who already have ties to your area. "Boomerangs" - people who previously lived, worked, or studied in your region - are significantly more likely to relocate back. Smart companies and economic development organizations are leveraging data to identify these high-potential candidates: ✓ Alumni from local universities ✓ Former employees of regional companies ✓ People with family connections to the area ✓ Those who've previously lived in your market This isn't just theory. We're seeing EDOs successfully use this approach to fill critical roles that have been open for months. The key is having the right data and targeting capabilities to identify these candidates before your competitors do. Instead of casting a wide net and hoping for the best, focus on the people who are most likely to actually move and stay. Your next great hire might already know and love your city, they just need the right opportunity to come back. And your org needs the right data to identify your high-potential boomerangs.

Regions that achieve their full economic potential will be those that can attract and retain the best talent. It's what the members of your chamber depend on. Every open job at a company represents lost revenue. Every day a role stays unfilled, that business is losing money and productivity. Regional groups like chambers and EDOs need to take a scalable and monetizable approach to talent attraction, The most successful EDOs and Chambers are shifting from generic business attraction to strategic talent placement. They're helping their member companies reach their full economic potential by solving their #1 constraint: finding the right people. Here's what's working: --> Partnering with AI-powered job platforms instead of static/manual job postings --> Focusing on "boomerang" candidates - people with existing ties to your region --> Using data to identify who's most likely to relocate to your area --> Positioning talent solutions as a core pillar economic development strategy --> Working with a job board partner that can help generate non-dues revenue. When you help a company fill critical roles, you're not just facilitating a hire. You're directly contributing to your region's GDP growth. The EDOs and Chambers that understand this will dominate their regions in the next 5 years. Which regions do you see doing this the best?

This week, we brought together some of the sharpest minds in VC/PE talent to explore how AI is reshaping recruiting.
