Summary Box: Online job search pioneer starts over
STARTING OVER: Bill Warren founded the first online job board in 1992 and later was briefly president of Monster.com, a leading employment Web site. Now he’s spearheading a challenge to the commercial boards.
TOO EXPENSIVE: Warren is backed by hundreds of large employers who think the commercial boards are too expensive and want a direct relationship with jobseekers.
ORGANIZING THE INTERNET: His plan is to use the “.jobs” domain name — similar to “.com” or “.edu” — to better organize job listings on the Web. Jobseekers will also be able to easily search specific regions or occupations.
