Interactive Recruitment Firm Jobs2Web Makes Inc 500 for the Third Time
Jobs2web, an award winning provider of interactive recruitment solutions, was recently ranked No. 419 on Inc. Magazine’s annual list of the nation’s fastest growing private companies – the famous “Inc. 500”. This occasion marks the third consecutive year that Jobs2Web has made the prestigious list of independent entrepreneurial firms.
“When budgets are tight, HR professionals who understand exactly what’s working and what’s not in terms of recruiting can maximize their recruiting dollars and focus on strategies that most effectively drive down cost per hire,” said Doug Berg, Jobs2web Founder and Chief Recruiting Geek. One of the keys to our success has been our ability to deliver analytics that arm HR professionals with the information they need to transform recruiting effectiveness.”
On its 30th annual run, the Inc. 500 recently premiered again in the September 2011 issue of Inc. Magazine. Companies on the Inc. 500 represent the top tier of the Inc. 5000. In order to make the top 500, companies must meet a number of prerequisites and are ultimately ranked according to percent revenue growth when comparing 2007 to 2010. To make the list, the minimum revenue required for 2007 was $100,000 and the minimum required for 2010 was $2 million. Jobs2Web met these requirements exceedingly well – their 3 year growth was at 824 percent, 2007 revenue was at $1.1 million, and their 2010 revenue was at $9.9 Million.
“During this time of fluctuating fortunes and turbulent economies, our dramatic growth is a reflection of the value we provide to companies looking to leverage Web 2.0 recruiting strategies and gain greater visibility online to attract top talent,” said Ken Holec, Jobs2web’s CEO. “With an increasing number of new clients who are finding better people more efficiently and effectively, we have fast become the acknowledged leader for optimized interactive recruiting.”
If you’re wondering what interactive recruitment is, and what technology Jobs2web provides, it’s worth exploration. Interactive recruitment refers to the mutual communication and engagement that modern online recruitment enables. Through marketing technology, Jobs2web creates ways not just to post jobs, but to engage with candidates and then measure recruitment metrics across various channels. They optimize career sites through a hosted solution in order to increase online exposure to targeted candidates.
By doing a simple Google search for “powered by jobs2web,” you can find a sampling of their clients, which include prestigious companies such as PepsiCo, Fidelity, and Sodexo. Operating in and propagating the niche area of interactive recruitment has obviously proven successful for the company. In the increasingly competitive environment of recruiting technology, it may have paid off to build a narrowly focused product.
