We need some feedback from Linking Indiana Users. Please help us critique and improve the new Hoosier Jobs Network website and let us know how to make it better.
 The idea is simple: it's just an easy to navigate and easy to use job board that features Indiana jobs. Most of the jobs come from simplyhired.com's database, so the Hoosier Jobs Network site has a few thousand jobs listed already.
Why Another Job Board?
Mostly because the big job boards have become refuges for non-employment: MLMs, work from home and other jobs that are really micro-businesses. The idea is, clean, easy and Indiana.

5 reasons your Company should utilize a recruiter, regardless of the market conditions:
1) YOU’RE TOO BIG! Generally speaking, the bigger the organization, more it tends to extend the process, due to logistical issues, internal policies, etc. Two examples:
Candidates don’t care how ‘family friendly’ your page about organizational happiness and all things touchy-feely is, if I'm unable to make a human connection ala request from a faceless corporate entity to their database ~ OR ~ Senior level role and to prevent aforementioned faceless entity issues from above, contact is made via a human being. Just one question: are they on the same level? Probably not. The folks that usually get handed these assignments are usually <2-3 years experience out of college. Not the person I want talking to a potential decision maker within the organization.
This can actually be WORSE than previous example.

There is an interesting side effect to the idea that putting news behind "pay walls" will enable publishers to make more money on the Internet: writers see pay walls as a career limitation. As a result, and much to their collective chagrin, career journalists are proving they have more in common with the bloggers that they ever would want to admit:
"it strikes me that news sites are just big blogging sites. No blogger would want their content hidden behind a paywall, and reporters are more and more just professional bloggers." -- rfugger on Slashdot (one of the oldest and most successful technology blogs)
One thing is certain. The lines are being blurred more and more between casual and amateur online media and professional news organizations. Writers clearly understand that their future earnings are tied to the size of their audience and ability to bring readers to their publisher, online or offline.
If writers see pay walls as a career limitation, could they begin to see news organizations the way many musicians see big record companies: easily replaced by a website and a few distribution deals?
What do you think - are pay walls the answer to save traditional print media or will they turn the best writers into bloggers?
