Create your own social job board
Eggsprout, a Seattle-based tech job site started by five ex-Zillow employees (which we reported on first in January), is quietly launching a new service that allows individuals and companies to create their own social job board. Think of it as a kind of Ning for recruiting.
According to the Cheezhead blog, the new Eggsprout system will allow users to brand the board with their own log and visual design, add job postings (and charge for them with 100 percent revenue retention), and enhance the network with personal blog postings, Twitter feeds, and discussion forums.
Other key features include resume upload and parsing ability, job posting management, and search and recommendations, enabling job seekers to search and filter job postings.
Users will be able to moderate discussions, edit content, and ban users.
The main service is free. Premium options, like Ning, include the ability to use your own domain name ($5) and remove Eggsprout links ($25/month).
