Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Expert Matching and Connection of Candidates with Employers Driving the Future of Online Recruiting Services
MCLEAN, Va., May 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Jobfox, one of the fastest growing
career-connection sites on the Internet, is a winner of the Red Herring 100
North America award. The award is given each year to the top private
technology companies that are driving the next wave of innovation.
Jobfox (www.jobfox.com) was chosen for its breakthrough online recruiting
services that expertly match and link compatible job candidates with
employers. Jobfox joins past Red Herring award recipients such as Google,
eBay, Salesforce.com and YouTube.
"Jobfox is changing the way professionals and employers connect with each
other," said Rob McGovern, CEO of Jobfox. "Millions of job candidates visit
Jobfox as a smarter way to advance their careers. Thousands of corporate
recruiters now subscribe to Jobfox as a more efficient and cost-effective way
to hire quality professionals."
Jobfox received top honors at the Red Herring North America event, held
May 12-14 in San Jose, Calif. Earlier this year, Jobfox was recognized as an
Official Honoree for the 12th Annual Webby Awards. Jobfox was also named a
2008 most promising startup by American Venture Magazine.
Jobfox's award-winning features include:
-- Precision Skills Matching. On Jobfox, each professional creates a
unique profile of skills and experiences. Jobfox intelligently
matches professionals with the most compatible job opportunities.
-- Jobfox Page for Personal Branding. This free Jobfox Page, including a
unique "URL" (http://www.jobfox.com/people/sarahsmith, for example),
gives candidates the ability to dynamically showcase their skills,
talents, career aspirations and job-change receptiveness.
-- IM Chat with Employers. Jobfox candidates can share their online
instant messaging availability with employers. This enables employers
-- in real time -- to initiate chats and set up times for further
discussions.
-- Candidate and Employer Tracking Centers. Provides candidates and
employers with online information about matches, compatibility rankings
and levels of interest.
"Jobfox puts the spotlight on top candidates instead of job listings,"
McGovern said. "Jobfox turns the traditional job board model upside down,
creating a more effective experience for both professionals and recruiters."
The Red Herring editorial staff evaluated more than 800 companies to
choose the top 100 winners, including Jobfox. The top companies were chosen
based on a careful analysis of financial data, subjective criteria, quality of
management, execution of strategy and dedication to research and development.
This year marks the 11th anniversary of the Red Herring 100 Awards.
