From Monster.com to AI Talent Markets: Jeff Taylor on What’s Next for Recruiting

What happens when the founder of Monster.com returns to the recruiting world 20 years later?

We explored exactly that on today’s episode of the Digital Recruiter Podcast: ERE Recruiting Innovation Summit Series, featuring Jeff Taylor — the pioneer who built one of the first 500 websites in history and helped launch the online job board revolution.

Now, Jeff’s building BoomBand, an AI-driven “social talent market” designed to match people with their life’s work, not just their résumé.

🔍 In this conversation, we covered:

• The story behind the first job posting and résumé on the Internet

• Why the next 24–36 months in recruiting mirror the early Internet era

• What “life’s work” hiring really means — and why résumés fail us

• How AI is already reshaping talent systems, and what’s at stake if we don’t adapt

Jeff’s perspective is both practical and visionary — offering a roadmap for recruiters, talent leaders, and founders who aren’t just chasing tools, but evolving their thinking on how talent is found, valued, and hired.
