SAN FRANCISCO, CA – VentureLoop, the worldwide leader in hosted career sites for venture capital firms, announced the launch of two new career site widgets. The free version of these widgets will enable venture capital firms and their portfolio companies to host a career page on their public websites simply by placing a small piece of code provided by VentureLoop. With more than 30 venture capital firms already using VentureLoop’s premium career site product, the new release will give flexibility for more venture capital firms to display the job openings of their portfolio companies while also enabling their portfolio companies to easily display jobs on their own websites. All jobs posted by the portfolio companies automatically synchronize with the venture firm’s career page.
“The advances in technology have enabled us to offer a free version of our premium product,” said Jeremy McCarthy, VentureLoop’s CEO. “Many venture capital firms prefer the premium version of our career website, but this new widget will enable every venture capital firm to add a career page to their website, regardless of their budget. The free portfolio company career page widget provides a remarkably simple way for companies to have their own career site without buying an expensive applicant tracking system or waiting for IT to update their postings. It also automatically synchronizes with each of their venture investors. We believe the venture community will continue creating thousands of jobs each year, and we will be there to support their efforts.”
The portfolio company widget launched in beta in late 2008, and both free widgets will be available for download off the VentureLoop website by validated venture firms and portfolio companies by the end of March. Some of the features include basic customization of styles for website presentation, customized industry names to match venture firm websites, a stored resume database for all job applications, and a monthly email of metrics showing the traffic and resume activity of the website. VentureLoop’s premium version allows for more customization, RSS feeds for jobs, integration of job listings on portfolio company pages of a venture firm’s website, and regular refreshing of jobs by VentureLoop account managers for all portfolio companies.
