    Have You Joined Your Site’s Trade Association Yet?

    On February 6, 2006, the U.S. Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs will implement a new regulation governing the definition of an online candidate. This regulation dramatically changes the way some job board customers must use job postings and perform resume database searches. These changes could, in turn, negatively affect your business and even the viability of your site.

    This is just one of the issues that the International Association of Employment Web Sites is working on for its members. The Association’s membership includes organizations that are stand alone enterprises, newspapers, professional associations, radio stations and affinity groups. Some operate locally, some regionally, some nationally, and some internationally. They are large, medium and small in size; some have been in operation over a decade, and some have literally just launched their Web-site.

    All, however, are united in their belief that they can:

  • learn from one another through the Association’s Member discussion boards and meetings;
  • gain from the differentiation provided by the Association’s brand and logo;
  • improve through the research and Best Practices distributed by the Association; and
  • support their organization’s mission more effectively through the collective voice and influence of the Association.
