Standout Jobs Launched at DEMO2008

Posted in Uncategorized by gary.haran on the January 30th, 2008

Well it has been an exciting few weeks gearing up for the launch of Standout Jobs. The launch went smoothly and the DEMO2008 presentation was a success. Quite a few companies have already joined us since launching monday.

Standout Jobs is much more than just a widget happy career site. Here are top 3 features least discussed in blogs everywhere:

  1. Save time by posting to numerous job boards easily. Once you’ve typed up your job offer it’s as easy as clicking a few checkboxes to have your offer appear on various popular job boards.
  2. Track how well each job board works for you. The dashboard keeps statistics on how well each board does so you can do more effective targeting.
  3. Easily bookmark pertinent data about candidates. You can search the web for candidates and add any pertinent urls to their profile with just a few clicks using a fancy bookmarklet.

As someone who has already recruited candidates for a few companies I’m happy to be a part of the crew. It’s always fun to build valuable tools that save people time and money. As a programmer there is no better feeling than knowing what you build is useful to others.

    What do you mean by \”popular job boards\” exactly? I can\’t find details about this on the Standout Jobs site. Are we talking Craigslist and Monster.com? Internal job boards for different categories? Something else?

    The full list is rather long (you can see it when publishing a job offer). Among them are Google Base, Indeed, SimplyHired, Oodle, Vast, OLX, Bixee, 37Signals Job Board, CrunchBoard, Slashdot/Linux.com/IT Manager’s Journal, Ajaxian, Centernetworks, ReadWriteWeb, 43 Folders Jobs…
