The Sites That We Power
From the time our
service was launched JobTurbine has established a proven
track record of excellence in running job sites. The
expressions of satisfaction and encouragement from the
users of our sites are numerous. We plan to continue
our advances and growth in the marketplace with more
unique and effective recruiting tools in the future.
Following are some of the web sites that JobTurbine
powers:
This is a "classic" JobTurbine site. It is
focused on a niche market that caters to entry-level
candidates. With tens of thousands of workers entering
the marketplace every year, the need for a web site
catering to these workers is obvious.
JobTurbine hosts the site for EntryLevelJobs.net. As
the economy has slowed down since early 2001, the number
of job applicants visiting the site has surged dramatically.
Anticipating this surge in site usage, JobTurbine moved
the site to new and more powerful servers, resulting
in amazingly quick response times to database queries.
Based on real-life experiences of the site users, various
new features were added. All the future sites powered
by JobTurbine will have these enhanced features from
the beginning, signinficantly improving their "speed
to market".
Geeks4Free is a talent marketplace that is devoted
to technical professionals. JobTurbine modified its
core engine to make it suitable for a talent marketplace.
Additional features, such as a rating system for programmers
and a discussion board, were added to make it a community-oriented
site. Geeks4Free did not want to own the servers or
hire any technical people, so it chose the outsourced
solution from JobTurbine. The entire project took less
than 3 months from conception to implementation. Geeks4Free.com
is a popular site for "geeks" and hundreds
of users are registered to use the site.
Using open source technologies saved a lot of money
for Geeks4Free. For example, the entire discussion board
system that is implemented on its site is an open source
application that was downloaded free of charge. Since
the source code was available, it was customized to
use login information of existing registered users.
Writing a discussion board application from scratch
would have cost thousands of dollars and could have
taken a few weeks.
