2012 | April/May | Launch | Job matching | Hired.com, a job matching site focused on the information technology industry, launches with the name Developer Auction.[1] The platform allows job-seekers as well as companies to create profiles, and hides a job-seeker's profile from his or her own company, so that people who already have jobs can seek new ones. It offers a 1% annual salary per month payment plan, to allow young, cash-strapped startups to hire and to better align its own incentives with those of employers.[2] |
2015 | Launch | Job matching | Triplebyte, a job matching site initially catering to Y Combinator startups but later expanding to other technology companies, launches. It has a similar payment model as Hired, but differs in that it does extensive pre-screening of candidates and provides the potential employer with a report of the candidate's strengths and weaknesses, thereby reducing the need for initial screenings by employers. The company also focuses on using its knowledge of candidates as well as employers to improve efficiency and reduce bias in the hiring process.[3][4][5] | |
2017 | February 15 | New product | Job advertising | In the United States and Canada, Facebook launches a feature to search for jobs. The feature allows businesses to post job openings through the status update composer, and allows users to apply to those job postings.[6][7][8][9] |
