Yahoo HotJobs
Yahoo HotJobs, formerly known as hotjobs.com, was an online job search engine. It provided tools and advice for job seekers, employers, and staffing firms. It was acquired by Yahoo in 2002, then acquired by Monster Worldwide, owner of its major competitor Monster.com in 2010—leading to its merger with Monster.com and eventual closure.
The company was founded by Richard Johnson and was based at 24 West 40th Street, 12th floor in New York City, across from Bryant Park. Johnson had previously founded the RBL Agency with Ben Carroccio and Liz Johnson (RBL), a boutique employment agency for technologists. The initial website was launched in early 1996 as RBL Agency which evolved into the Online Technical Employment Center (OTEC) in 1999, and only featured technical jobs. Founding employees Christopher G. Stach II, Earle Ady, and Allen Murabayashi designed and coded the first iterations of the site on Silicon Graphics Indy workstations for C application development, Apple Macs for content creation, and the site ran on Sun and SGI hardware.
The company's first advertising effort was as a Yahoo "site of the week", which at the time could be purchased for $1000.
Hotjobs participated in one of Jupiter Communications' first conferences at the New York Sheraton in February 1996.
Thomas Chin joined the organization in October 1996 while attending Columbia University, and eventually became the company's chief scientist.
In the summer of 1997, Johnson decided to expand the operations, and brought Dave Carvajal over from the RBL Agency to build the salesforce and eventually recruit, hire and scale the organization with 8 offices. Dimitri Boylan also move from RBL to head up the sales and marketing effort.
Hotjobs developed a private label job board and applicant tracking system ("ATS") in 1997. Lucent Technologies was the first customer to purchase this product. Later customers for this "ASP" product included UBS, Merrill Lynch, UPS, and several other large companies. The term ASP was later replaced with SaaS, meaning software as a service.
In September 1997, hotjobs shed the technology-only focus by adding job categories for "Finance/Accounting" and "Sales/Marketing." The first hotjobs newsletter followed in October 1997. During this time the name was also officially changed from "HotJobs, Inc." to "HotJobs.com, Ltd" on the suggestion of Peter Connors.
