Paris does Cannes + Jobster does Jobby
The Jobster acquisition of Jobby may be the first in the Web 2.0 Vertical Human Resources Tagging Technology with an Ajax exterior Segment. Hurrah ! Even Jobster call goJobby.com an "ajaxy tagged-based online recruiting service"
It seems Jobster is going along quite nicely (anyone know ? TechCrunch say "Jobster has raised over $20 million in venture capital. Investors include Trinity Ventures, Ignition Partners and Mayfield.") with smart use of their early venture raising in the space.
Come on, with Ziggy the cat and Workzoo how could they go wrong - Some very kewl brand names within Jobster Inc now ! I agree with Richard Macmanus' point of view that there has not been enough web 2 activity in high value verticals, ranging from financial services to jobs and auto. So nice one Ziggy. Jobby sounds like an implicit profiling candidate and matching tool that has web 2 tagging and ajax built in, so job seekers can build a kewl profile without spending anytime ? I wonder how the backends will be stitched together.
Web 2.0 Journal : "Jobster will incorporate Jobby features and other new Web 2.0 functionality into its new consumer job site offering coming in the third quarter of 2006. The site will provide one-stop access to more job listings from across the Web than traditional job boards. The new tagging features will help jobseekers get noticed through meaningful fully customizable online profiles that provide a highly personalized online professional presence without the need to spend time entering data. Jobseekers can also leverage their networks to get referred for jobs."
"..The Jobby Search Engine allows you to filter profiles in the above categories by keyword searches, qualifications tags, availability tags, and location..."
