Is Just Be heading for the RIP list?
Posted By: Thomas Shaw, 8:30pm Monday 12 January 2009
I was notified by a client of Just Be http://www.justbe.com.au that the job board was offline in early Dec 2008. On inspection the whole sever; including email, was not working. We did tried sending a number of emails, as well as calling the office to find out what was wrong...but no responses. My first thoughts were that the site was undergoing a makeover or have left the building. But it soon appeared online again (early Jan 2009).
Just Be http://www.justbe.com.au launched in Dec 2006 as the "first and only job search and career resource in Australia specifically designed for women". It received exemptions from the Victorian Equal Opportunity Act, allowing it to run an online job board specifically for women.
There are a number of errors in the search form and results pages (the right hand filter function is also broken), while the newest advert online is dated 28th Sep 2008.
But my main issue is that there are still no apologies or explanations to candidates or paying clients! Anyone know what's going on?
