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
