What do you think about the .jobs extension....

[crazy.works]

well, i wonder why almost of the domainers doesn't invest on the .jobs extension !!, is it that bad ??
i mean for example the most expensive .com domain was sex.com and sold for 12 million.. so what is the most expensive .jobs domain that you have ever seen ??? !!
any opinions about the .jobs extension are welcome. thanks

Marginal use, zero consumer awareness.

Actually you can't register any .jobs domain, it should reasonably match your company name or acronym. It's not a TLD for investment purposes.

Haven't seen any "jobs" domain in the aftermarket.

My day job is "jobs" related and as a company we barely even considered/looked at the extension -- and as a domainer, I can't get excited about it.

Just my 2 cents...

Not an extension for domain investors...used by companies for their career pages. Atleast that is how they were promoting the extension.

Jobseekers have numerous options to look for job listings - search engines, job search engines, niche job sites, social networks.


Since most corporations are not using .jobs extension to list their job openings, the concept hasn't caught on among jobseekers to look there..

I say, the extension is practically dead...

The TLD is garbage and overpriced. Not to mention nobody knows about it.

IMO .jobs extension can only attract the job seekers so it will be limited to those users only.

Do some homework - lots of posts here discussing the reasons why this is not a "Domainer" extension.

i know 3 out of the big 4 CPA firms all use .jobs. i have even seen them posting on websites to check out their opportunities at kpmg.jobs

kpmg.jobs
deloitte.jobs
pwc.jobs

i definitely dont think its a good investment for a domainer though but nice to see huge international corporations using different extensions.
