Years ago, I did some User Acceptance Testing on what was then meant to be UK Gov’s answer to a national job board. The product was so borked that the action button actually produced two totally different outcomes based on which pixel your cursor was over at the time. We can do better, and I fully support this initiative from our friends Adzuna to change the procurement process, utilise readily available technology from the private sector, whilst advancing toward a public / private partnership to help connect people to opportunity. Have a
read of this white paper, let me know what you think. Also: is there an example of a national job board which actually works well? Might as well start a conversation on this…
