Did you hear about the website milliondollarhome-page.com? If you haven’t, the basic premise is a guy created a homepage with one million pixels on it, which he is selling in $100 bundles – $1 per pixel. Advertisers have flocked there to buy up space because so many people are looking at it.
Some clever HR folk have decided that there’s no reason this can’t be applied to the recruitment market and have set up onemillionjobs.com. At the time this was written, only a few adventurous folk had taken advantage of the page, including PricewaterhouseCoopers, the Army and pharmaceuticals behemoth GlaxoSmithKline.
