Hi Don,

Thanks for your very *quick* reply. Can you give me a little guidance as to the nature of why it isn't able to be listed?

The one place where I believe it may be mistakenly confused is "mirror site". We have several career & talent hubs, all with a simliar look, each with its own niche and content (e.g., nursing, biotechnology/research oriented vs. pharmaceuticals/client facing).

These are not mirror sites. Is there where the issue lies?

Again, thanks for your guidance and quick reply.

Thanks,
Rich

We disagree. We are also not going to debate this, per the forum guidelines which specifically prohibit us from doing so.

We recommend that you find other, more receptive, venues to use in the promotion of your sites.

I might add that if you have what would normally be considered a doorway site to all of your "mirrors", that site might be listed, even though we don't normally list doorways.

Thank you Arubin and Spectregunner for your replies.

I completely respect your perspective on this and the difficult job you have weeding through submissions (adding on top of that, you're doing it as volunteers!), and want to stay within the DMOZ guidelines. Though we don't see them as mirror sites (as each has unique job listings for that category), I understand your perspective and will defer to your judgement.

Regarding your reply Arubin, in fact we do have a "central hub" for all of our network sites...

***hireCentral.com (http://www.hirecentral.com) is the central location for our entire network and consolidates all of the jobs contained in hireBio.com, hireRx.com, hireMedical.com, and hireNursing.com.

If you believe this meets your qualifications, I believe it would belong in Business: Employment: Job Search (http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Employment/Job_Search/) as we will be launching several others in banking, marketing, etc.

Thank you very much for your time and patience.

Regards,
Rich

Against my better judgement (no good deed goes unpunished), let me see if I can gently give you a bit of perspective, because I sense a disconnect here.

In simple terms, you guys are an employment shop. You connect employers with prospects, and prospect with potential employers.

Now, you may have made a business decision to create different websites for for each aspect of your business. One for banking, one for nursing, one for Filipinos, one for cobblers, etc. We don't care about those sites (we call them fraternal mirrors), and aren't going to list them. We realize that to you, they are very different, but to us, they are all the same. The only thing we might be interested in is the single top-level web site for your overall enterprise. Divisions, business units, areas of focus, segments and all those things that are important to you are useless to us.

Because, if you "have it together" every single website in your enterprise should be accessable from your top level website. If they are not, answer this hypothetical: why would we care enough to link to them when you don't care enough to link to them yourself?

It sounds as though http://www.hirecentral.com/ is the one site we should look at. Would you concur?

No disconnect Spectregunner. As an Open Directory editor, your opinion is the one that matters. No argument from us.

You are correct and I do concur, hirecentral.com (http://www.hirecentral.com/) is the one that you should look at as it is the "top level" and connects to all of the other hubs.

Again, I do appreciate the time you've taken (along with the other editors) to reply to our posts.

Regards,
Rich
