Well it’s been less then 24 hours since my blog went out to the wider public and in that time I have already learnt something. They say that if you have a $Million idea, chances are someone else has had that same idea and has already beaten you to it. How many times have you had the light-bulb moment, done your research (Ok I didn’t research this one but I did think it was a no brainer) to only find out that you’ve been beaten to the punch.

Well I’m happy to say, that my (well not mine as someone beat me to it) idea of having job postings automatically upon posting, feed into twitter with specific silo’s for location and job type has already started. Tweetjobs.net have cornered a niche of the market that takes an uploaded XML file and formats it into a Tweet. It takes key pieces of information from the file such as, job title, key skills, location, salary and a url link to the job on the clients web site and auto formats it before sending it out. This is all done in a fraction of a second. What can be better then that.

Well there’s more. They also manage client branded Twitter accounts for both end clients and agencies.

Richard Sutciffe and James Mayes are the brains behind the operation and with years of recruitment and IT experience behind them, there is no doubt that this business will be a success. Further proof of this is Broadbean’s decision to trial the service. Whilst it’s early days, signs are good and they will contemplate a full roll out next year, all going well.

So maybe the job boards don’t have to worry about social media and implementing new initiatives to deliver a better performance, the likes of Broadbean could beat them to it. All I know is I have to hope for another light-bulb moment.
