ZDNet Asia Jobs Powered by Recruit.net

Job growth is explosive across Asia. China’s major cities generated 12 million new jobs in 2006, according to the National Bureau of Statistics of China.” - Fay Hansen

ZDNet Asia’s IT Employment Trends reveal Asia as the new “Hot Bed for IT jobs“, thus making the newest addition of ZDNet Asia tech jobs, powered by Recruit.net, an incredibly relevant step.

The Recruit.net job search engine brings FREE jobs and dynamic job search to Asia’s now thriving IT market, moreover Recruit.net is bringing the “Freemium model” to Asia complete with Sponsored Jobs, AdNet, and Banners being served around their organic content.

Is Asia ready for Freemium?

The online recruitment market in Asia is still far behind that of the United States, according to Maneck Mohan, director of Recruit.net. In Recruit.net’s markets, Australia is the most mature and China the least developed in the transition from traditional offline media job postings to online postings.” - Workforce

Internet penetration is on the rise in Asia, although still far behind the United States. This market lag provides Recruit.net and many other foreign job search companies the opportunity to closely study the U.S. job search battleground, taking away winning strategies without being stuck in the R&D, proof of concept, and slow adoption quagmire.

My personal message to the global recruit-o-sphere:
Learn how to leverage Freemium today, or be prepared to catch up tomorrow.

    Chad, thanks for blogging about our partnership with ZDNet Asia.

    As you point out, we’re leveraging “Freemium” by building up large international job syndication networks and introducing a “Turbo charge” option for monetization.

    It will be interesting to see how the model develops and adapts across the world.

    Maneck.
