Most recruiting firms operate the same way — job boards, LinkedIn, InMail blasts. Here's what actually separates 45 years of exclusive JDE expertise from everyone else in the market.

I Don't Advertise Against You
I am not an internet recruiter — and that distinction matters. Ask yourself: how many times have you authorized a recruiting firm to work with you, only to find them advertising your own job listing right beside your company's posting on a job board? I can show you JD Edwards job sites right now with five different firms advertising the same position on the same page.
I never advertise against my clients.

Why the Job Boards Don't Work
Most recruiting firms pay expensive annual subscriptions to LinkedIn, Indeed, and ZipRecruiter — the same platforms your company is already paying for. If a firm's subscription allows five job listings at a time, there will always be five jobs posted, whether those positions are real or not. Candidates have figured this out.
Response rates to JD Edwards postings on these platforms now range from extremely low to none.
📍
What's Wrong with Indeed
Indeed restricts job postings geographically based on your company's location. If you're outside a major metro area, candidates from neighboring states — even those open to relocation — will never see your ad. You're paying to reach a fraction of the people who might be perfect for your role.
Indeed also locks candidates in by their ISP address. A candidate two states away who would happily relocate for the right JDE role will never even find your posting.

What's Wrong with LinkedIn
LinkedIn started as a social business network — not a recruiting tool. For JD Edwards hiring, its limitations are glaring:
• Most JDE Business Analysts don't list "Business Analyst" as their title, and very few include "JDE" on their profiles. Search either term and roughly 90% of results are off-target.
• Even with a premium package, InMail messages are capped monthly.
• You can only view candidates within three degrees of your own network.
