Realestate Dramas

Domain Down

It is all happening in the world of Australian Online RealEstate tonight! The Realestate.com.au board have announced the immediate departure of their long serving (since 2001) CEO, Simon Baker. This was a huge surprise, although the fact that he sent out about 50 LinkedIn recommendation requests to people (myself included) late Friday night should have been a bit of a warning. Anyway at least Domain isn’t having the last laugh, their website is currently completely broken, simply stating that “an unexpected error has occurred”. I would say their support team are going to wake up to hundreds of thousands of error emails and a big headache tomorrow.

    Wow, big news..

    I too received a request and obliged but didn’t follow up as a good recruiter should have to see what was up.

    Where has he gone?

  2. Nowhere, he was actually removed by the board! I wonder how many CEO’s have been removed after delivering a 46% annual profit increase (repeatedly).
