Economic Development Organizations - 8 Requirements of a Job Board

Many Economic Development Organizations (EDOs) provide a job board or should consider providing a job board to better serve their communities.

For many organizations and people, job boards are generic. They are valued only by the number of jobs posted and the number of people who use them. But for local EDOs that serve a particular community, there are different criteria for success. If they want a job board they need to implement it properly.

EDOs need to serve three related stakeholders. One of those stakeholders is the economic development organization itself. The next stakeholders are the large and small corporate clients that reside inside the purview of the economic development organization. The third stakeholder is the pool of job seekers in that region. Each of these stakeholders have unique and differing requirements.

Every EDO is unique, but there are eight requirements for job boards that cut across all of these types of organizations.

This eBook will help economic development organizations and their corporate clients better understand the needs of the various stakeholders so that they can properly select a job board that accounts for the needs of stakeholders.
