The replay from last years Job Board Con event is now publicly available to my readers. Unfortunately I will not be hosting one this year.
A new dedicated job search app aims to connect backpackers and working holiday makers with travel employers offering short-term and seasonal work opportunities in Australia.
The mobile platform, which launched a few weeks ago, is by Melbourne-based founder Matthew Heyes who founded the online platform Backpacker Job Board back in 2010 during his time backpacking on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.
8vance and Jobiqo today announced a strategic technology partnership that brings those two parts together, helping employers turn hiring demand into qualified applicant flow more efficiently.
8vance, a European AI-native HR Tech company, and Jobiqo, a global technology and full-service provider for job boards, recruitment marketplaces, and programmatic job advertising, are connecting skills-based recruitment intelligence with multi-channel market execution in a single, closed loop. The collaboration integrates Jobiqo AIR (Automated Intelligent Reach) and 8vance’s Infinity platform, creating an AI-orchestrated recruitment workflow spanning role definition, market activation, candidate matching, and measurable outcomes.
At the centre of the partnership is Infinity Recruit (∞R), the first agent in 8vance’s Infinity family. Together, Infinity Recruit and Jobiqo AIR form a unified intelligence-and-execution loop: skills-based role understanding and candidate matching feed directly into AI-optimised market activation, while reach, engagement, and conversion signals flow back into the workflow to continuously optimise outcomes.
Beginning in February 2026, through an exciting multi-year grant, OSDE (Oklahoma) will provide free recruitment and job search resources to OK teachers and districts.
OSDE has launched a new Statewide Educator Job Board in partnership with OPSRC and Nimble. This is a one-stop shop for current and rising educators to find jobs they’ll love in Oklahoma. It automatically aggregates all teacher job postings across the state and gives teachers the ability to find jobs that meet their preferences. They can see critical information like commute distance and salary scales all in one place.
