Why is the OU Job Board being discontinued?
March 4, 2016 9:59 am at 9:59 am #1142683Abba_SParticipantI assume they ran out of grant money or maybe there wasn’t enough people entering jobs or looking for jobs on the website.
March 4, 2016 5:54 pm at 5:54 pm #1142684MenoParticipantMaybe it has something to do with this:

March 4, 2016 7:28 pm at 7:28 pm #1142685dovrosenbaumParticipantThe website says:
Over the past 18 months, we have observed a significant decline in the use of the job board by both job-seekers and corporate partners. That, and personnel changes within the organization, suggest that it is an appropriate time for the Job Board to cease operations.
The OU has made available on its website the entire collection of our highly-acclaimed courses and seminars that will remain available for use free of charge. You may access them here.
All jobs and resumes currently posted on the OU Job Board will remain posted through March 31st.

I understand that there was Machlokes (disagreement) between the OU leadership and the Job Board director. However, this is a poor excuse.
It is the obligation of the OU to continue their Job Board (which they have funded from their Kosher certification fees) or transfer it to another organization! “Lo Saamod Al Dam Reiecha” (You cannot stand by idly while other Jews are suffering…from unemployment, etc.)!!!
March 6, 2016 1:58 pm at 1:58 pm #1142688JosephParticipantIs there any reason the board couldn’t continue under new leadership and personnel?
March 17, 2016 8:45 pm at 8:45 pm #1142689Ahin Un OHareParticipantAny suggestions on preventing the very unfortunate closure of the Job Board?
Perhaps another organization may be interested in continuing this essential Chesed?
March 17, 2016 9:17 pm at 9:17 pm #1142690The QueenParticipantIf all it entails is posting resumes and job openings, why can’t the coffee room have a thread for it??
March 17, 2016 9:32 pm at 9:32 pm #1142691YW Moderator-💯ModeratorThat would require exchange of contact information, and we do not do that. It is not a good idea, especially since there are many sensitive and volatile topics discussed here.
There is this, though:
