I saw a really interesting tweet today from one of my favourite blogs READWRITEWEB - a blog I really recommend for the latest news and developments in technology and communications.
Jobvite a new start-up venture has secured $8.25m in venture capitalist funding.
'The company pioneered social recruitment with the first on-demand application that enables the whole company to participate in hiring and allows recruiters to tap employees’ existing professional and social networks to increase referral hiring.'
“This recession is fundamentally changing recruitment, pushing companies to become more cost-effective, innovative and strategic. Companies are looking to the technology industry to make this possible,” said Dan Finnigan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Jobvite.
Technology, social media and a companies best ambassadors - employee's - sounds like a great combination.
Speaking of which, I've been pretty busy lately - working on the global social media strategies for one of our global clients and a new client who has hired us specifically to do their social media. We've been using our bespoke approach to social media devised by our MBA department - MediaCom Beyond Advertising- who specialise in all things content and beyond traditional paid for media.
Really exciting projects.
These surely are exciting career related projects. Good for the job aspirants and recruiters too.
