Strange behaviour is starting to emerge from niche job boards. Who would have thought we would see the day when a job board states that a job has been sourced from another job board? This example below is one of 100 or more jobs currently appearing on Teen Jobs
http://www.teenjobs.com.au sourced from JobsJobsJobs
http://www.jobsjobsjobs.com.auTeenJobs has a brand new user interface which looks like a clone of Hippo
http://www.hippo.com.au Here are some questions to Teen Jobs from a employer/advertisers perspective
- Is TeenJobs getting paid from JobsJobsJobs for advertising the job or by the number of applications it provides?
- Dose the client (original owner of the copy) know about this arrangement? If not, why not - they are the copyright holders of the content.
- If I advertise my job on JobsJobsJobs first, will it automatically be syndicated to Teen Jobs?
- The job board demographics is teens but there are many jobs require qualifications and experience?

However I am aware of a number of companies that syndicate jobs content between jobsboards, and yes Thomas they often work on a pay per application or per unique CV basis. Some of them talk about paying per the "quality of the CV", but this is of course a very grey area (Recruiter can happily say each CV is rubbish, pay only a little, then place what is actually a good candidate!).
Of course, to make such a syndication system work with niche boards, you should be sharing out relevant jobs otherwise you're effectively damaging the appeal of the niche board to their user base.
