Bringing Web 2.0 to recruiting

I noticed this post today, which had a phrase about CATS that stuck out to me for some reason: “Open source comes to the e-recruitment software market”.

Catch the Best may not have open source as a feature like CATS, but it is bringing Ruby on Rails, Digg-style voting, and a polished UI (complete with rounded corners and gradients!) to the e-recruitment software market.

Feature Watch: Career Sites

If you’d like a quick-and-easy careers page for your web site, you’re in luck: Catch the Best now allows you to have an open jobs listing at your site with just one line of javascript.

Once you’ve created a Catch the Best account, you can enable a public listing of all your open positions by visiting the Career Site link via the account settings. Once enabled, copying and pasting one line of javascript from the Career Site page into a page hosted at your web site will load all of your open positions listed in Catch the Best on your own jobs page. Each listing on your page will have a link back to Catch the Best for candidates to apply directly from your web site.

Having your own jobs page at your site couldn’t be any easier. Try Catch the Best now to find out how easy it can be to manage, share, and rate your job applicants.

Are you kidding me? Job applicants need to accept an end user agreement to apply for a job? That’s nuts.
