Vertical search meets job networking: Jobster acquires Workzoo

logo

As Jason Goldberg notes, Jobster has acquired WorkZoo. (See also the official press release.)

In the months since Jobster V1 shipped, Jobster has been building networks outward from the recruiters and employees more than 100 leading US companies, such as Nike and Microsoft. These connections provide a trust and knowledge network that allows recruiters to connect with passive, high quality prospects who they wouldn’t discover otherwise.

With the integration of WorkZoo, Jobster will help professionals not only find the right jobs but network their way directly to the hiring team and get noticed. This “outward-in” networking enriches and enlarges the Jobster network, while referrer and prospect ranking maintains the quality of the network. This integration of vertical search and job focused professional networking is unique.

I’ve been tremendously impressed by the passion and talent of the WorkZoo team, as well as the speed at which they work. For example, check out their Integration of job search and Google Maps that they cranked out in record time.
