Mark LaneHOST
My guest today is Jeff Taylor.
Mark LaneHOST
Jeff is the founder of Monster.com and helped completely change the way the world finds work.
Mark LaneHOST
Now he's doing it again as CEO and founder of BoomBand, looking at talent, technology, and some of the things we may have gotten wrong about hiring along the way.
Mark LaneHOST
Jeff, welcome to Ghosted by the Machine.
Jeff TaylorGUEST
I've sort of dedicated my life to talent in many different aspects of it.
Jeff TaylorGUEST
And so we'll get into it.
Mark LaneHOST
Well, you've completely changed the way people look for work when you created Monster.com.
Mark LaneHOST
When you look at hiring today, do you ever sit back and think, hey, we saw one problem back then, but somehow created a whole new set of problems? What do you see when you look at the system today?
Tom SchwabGUEST
And he was the example, right? He was a high level corporate recruiter.
Tom SchwabGUEST
And he's like, I can give you 7 billion resumes on monster.com.
Tom SchwabGUEST
Does that help you to find the next great person? Or if I introduce you to three people that I know that would change your world, I'm like, oh yeah, I want better, not just more.
Tom SchwabGUEST
And so we've really focused on that.
Bianca JuarezHOST
You want the suddenly? You got to work diligently and pray fervently.
Bianca JuarezHOST
You lost your job? Get on monster.com and pray.
Bianca JuarezHOST
You had sickle cell anemia or some other medical diagnosis? You got to treat your temple right and fill it with the right food and get medical help and medicine and believe for a miracle.
Bianca JuarezHOST
You're having intimacy issues? Shower before you go to bed, you know? Like, put down the porn, get some therapy, and pray.
Sachin KundraGUEST
So I started looking for a new job, and then I had some friends at Chevron, and I saw this posting for Chevron on Monster.
Sachin KundraGUEST
I don't even know if that exists anymore, Monster.com.
Sachin KundraGUEST
So I applied there, and nobody really made it clear.
Sachin KundraGUEST
I guess my own ignorance, I didn't notice the credit union part.
Tom ErbGUEST
We've literally had meetings where we sat down and said, how are we going to take on this new technology? Is this going to be the end of us? And that's what we're hearing with AI right now.
Tom ErbGUEST
So if we go back to the late 1990s, we had the monster board.
Tom ErbGUEST
which then became Monster.
Tom ErbGUEST
And for the longest time, that was by far the biggest job board.
Tom ErbGUEST
And we were scared to death that Monster was going to take our jobs.
Tom ErbGUEST
People weren't going to need to use staffing anymore because you were going to be able to post jobs on Monster and get all the people that you needed to.
Tom ErbGUEST
What ended up happening is the staffing industry ended up being the biggest clients of Monster and CareerBuilder and ultimately Indeed and all the other ones.
Tom ErbGUEST
And then we fast forward a decade to the 2000s, 2004, 2005 is about the time that LinkedIn and Facebook started to really get going.
David DocusenGUEST
And I think that's where turnover comes from in organizations.
David DocusenGUEST
The more that you erode trust, the more that somebody eventually is going to start looking on LinkedIn or monster.com and say, it's time to move on.
David DocusenGUEST
I just don't, I just don't know if I can trust this person.
David DocusenGUEST
And so to me, people are afraid to admit mistakes because they don't want to project weakness.
John HealdGUEST
Right.
John HealdGUEST
Just, um, humming along and, um, My wife is asked to interview at Monster.com, the old job board, right? From way, way back, even before your time, Curtis.
John HealdGUEST
And the founder was her last interview of the day.
John HealdGUEST
And Jeff Taylor is still to this day one of the most remarkable people.
Chris RussellHOST
In a roundabout way, I helped to build a system that was now breaking hiring, said Taylor, BoomBand's founder and CEO.
Chris RussellHOST
With Monster.com, we took the help-wanted section from newspapers to the Internet Now overlay AI on top of that broken foundation and you have a full collapse.
Chris RussellHOST
Everyone is drowning in volume, he says, and starving for signal.
Chris RussellHOST
By debuting regionally, Moonband aims to give New England employers a localized network that bypasses the flood of irrelevant nationwide resume spamming while servicing local candidates based on actual skill alignment and commute preferences.
Matt HalloranGUEST
And so she said, you know, how much longer can you do this? And when your spouse says that to you, that's a pretty good sign that you need to start thinking.
Matt HalloranGUEST
And so I went then to Monster.com the next day and typed in Life Coach.
Matt HalloranGUEST
And two things came up.
Matt HalloranGUEST
One was Vistage, which many of your listeners will know what that is.
Jordan WilkinsGUEST
Yeah.
Dara SharifHOST
So forgive the reference, but you're not going to find Thomas on monster.com. Yeah.
Dara SharifHOST
He'll never be there.
Jordan WilkinsGUEST
Yeah.
