One of Tufts University’s business plan competition winners, Jobvid.com is the most powerful service provider search engine currently available online. The site boast over 75 job categories and 1600 job specific skills that are fully searchable from a suggest drop-down menu, allowing site visitors to find exactly the right service provider for any job at hand. JobVid.com is also the first service provider website to strongly encourage personal statement videos, in which service providers introduce themselves and/or display essential job skills to prospective customers and clients. JobVid.com allows service providers to create a profile under each relevant job category and then automatically links these profiles together so that site visitors can appreciate the full scope of service providers’ capabilities. A fully customizable 3 month calender and photo gallery round out each service provider’s profile. The site is completely free and site visitors contact service providers directly. Randomized email addresses (a la Craigslist) ensure service provider privacy while still allowing site users to send messages directly to service providers through their personal email accounts. Never before has finding a service provider been faster, easier, or more web 2.0.

Jobs at Startups have historically been hard to find, but this new site solves that problem. StartUpHire was created with the sole purpose to connect talented individuals to exciting career opportunities at venture capital backed companies and to make it easier for these companies and their investors to build winning teams.

The site has the industry’s largest database of start up jobs with more than 10,000 positions ranging from entry level to senior executives. These positions come from thousands of companies throughout the U.S. and Canada. They span all the functional areas – sales, marketing, engineering, finance, operations, manufacturing, administrative, professional services, etc.

StartUpHire provides venture investors with a feature rich platform for hosting a portfolio careers page but at no cost. In addition, it provides job seekers with a central repository that can be easily searched across all venture portfolios eliminating the need to visit one VC website at a time in search of opportunity. User defined search agents provide automatic notification of new job opportunities matching defined criteria.

StartUpHire is all about jobs at venture backed companies. Instead of getting lost in the noise of the big job boards, these opportunities can now be searched and filtered in a very granular way. Equally important, visitors self-select as having an interest in these opportunities, which reduces the number of unqualified blast resumes received by employers.

The Goals:

• For career professionals: StartUpHire provides the definitive listing of career opportunities at venture backed companies. Jobs can be filtered by stage, industry, investor, location, job function, and more. Search agents automatically identify new companies and new jobs matching defined criteria.
• For employers: StartUpHire makes it easy to reach that target audience of professionals with startup experience. Posting jobs is restricted to venture backed companies as the site attracts a community which is passionate about these careers. Job postings reach a broad network of affiliate sites, and employers can easily add a website careers section using the StartUpHire widget.
• For venture investors: StartUpHire allows investors to efficiently leverage their brands for the benefit of their companies and to stay apprised of portfolio hiring needs at all levels, thus accelerating referrals and providing valuable insight on each business. The StartUpHire widget allows investors to seamlessly add a website Careers section, displaying all job opportunities across the entire portfolio
• For others: Local government agencies and regional non-profits leverage StartUpHire to create visibility for venture-backed jobs in their geography.

My New Project -  Speaking Franglish

On a lighter note (to balance out the subject of my last post), I want to tell you about a new personal project I’m working on — one I’m very excited about, maybe because it has nothing to do with parenting, or magazine writing, or book writing. It’s a much-needed diversion all in the name of personal enrichment

….

So, I wondered recently: Why couldn’t I try the whole pen pal thing again as an adult? Could I find a woman in another country, perhaps, who would be willing to write each other letters for a year via a blog that we’d share? What could we learn from each other — two strangers — about friendship and life and happiness through the experience?

A New Project
