According to a recent story released by SF
Gate, Zappos.com
the giant online retailer will no longer place any of their jobs on
external job boards or its own website. Instead they will use online
talent communities to find candidates. Zappos will use a cloud platform
to leverage social technologies and reach passive candidates through a
social network. The article quoted Kris Stadelman, director of the Nova
Workforce Investment Board in Sunnyvale, California, "It's an
acknowledgment that in today's market, the job board is just not useful
anymore," says Kris Stadelman. "It's generally speaking, a black hole
that creates a ‘negative relationship’ with companies.” (For the full

Our concept at eCareer Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: ECHI) is based on
developing specialized career “Talent Communities” that focus heavily on
delivering a vast amount of career content to a specific professional.
These platforms will create large online communities of career specific
professionals for organizations to market their employment opportunities
to as well as recruiters, and staffing professionals to find talent for
their clients. As our talent communities grow, we will generate revenue
by selling advertising to hiring entities as well as organizations that
sell goods and services to a specific profession.
eCareer is pleased to announce that beginning August 2014 we will hold a
regular monthly shareholder conference call. On August 12th at
4pm, we will hold our first regular monthly call and then every second
Tuesday of the month thereafter. This will enable us to communicate
effectively to our shareholders on a regular basis. Sign up information
will be distributed to all shareholders and posted on the eCareer
website prior to the August 12th call.
