As I mentioned in the April 28 issue of The Pinnacle blog, the "Job Javelin" job order posting service is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, June 1.  Job Javelin will replace Top Echelon's current job order posting model, which is being discontinued, in large part because the job boards with which we had agreements no longer wish to work with the contingency model.  As we've stated previously on more than one occasion in this newsletter, we decided that we needed to create another model, one that would still help recruiters make placements.  The result was Job Javelin, which is a "pay as you play" model.

The last day that you can post a job using the current contingency model for job order posting is Monday, May 31.  (Although that's Memorial Day, you can still post a job on the holiday.)  This also means that you can begin to use the Job Javelin tool on June 1, if you so choose.  Remember, it's not mandatory for you to use Job Javelin.  This is an optional service, just like job posting is now.

Job Javelin currently posts jobs to approximately 250 job boards.  Some are niche-specific, some are industry-specific, and some are geographic-specific.  Job Javelin has forged a relatioship with some of the larger boards like Simply Hired, Indeed, and JuJu, but it's done the same with specialty niche sites like www.MechanicalEngineer.com and regional sites such as www.HotAustinJobs.com.  Based upon the information contained in your job order, Job Javelin will post your job to those sites that are the most targeted and that have the best chance of bringing you placement success.

Please note that we have built a little leeway and flexibility into this transition from the current job order posting system to Job Javelin.  Your jobs will continue to be posted in the current system until Wednesday, June 30.  At that time, that system will cease to exist.  If you do make a placement on a job that you posted under the current contingency model, you'll be subject to the brokerage fee associated with that model.  However, remember that with Job Javelin, you pay once for the job posting--up front--and that's it.

There are two more important points regarding the Job Javelin job order posting service:

1. Only those recruiters who are using the Beta/Version 2.0 of the Top Echelon or Big Biller software have access to Job Javelin.  If you're currently not using that version and would like to know more about how you can start doing so, please call us at (330) 455-1433.
2. Recruiters who reside in the state of Ohio will be subject to the standard Ohio sales tax associated with their purchase of the Job Javelin service.

For more information, I invite you to watch a short instructional video about how to use Job Javelin. We're pleased to be able to offer the Job Javelin job order posting service to Preferred Members of Top Echelon Network.
