TweepJob

TweepJob is a service who’s goal is to bring job seekers (#tweepseek) and organizations, recruiters, and individual’s, termed as Hunters (#tweephunt),  who have open opportunities for employment or conrtacts, together using tweets as a means to communicate.  The TweepJob application can find user’s tweets by using the special hashtags and then notify the users that there is a potential match by tweeting such needs or opportunites so that followers, and the public time line, will be alerted to new leads for available employees and jobs.

TweepJob was conceived out of the experiences of our developers in harsh economic conditions, especially in technology fields, where unemployment rates were hitting mid to high 12% ranges.  It stood to reason that since we were already using Twitter, were familiar with the API, and enjoyed using the service for personal and business networking, that we should incorporate our enjoyment of the service with an application which attempts to help others in a valuable way. As such, we’ve created TweepJob as a free resource for seekers and hunters so that we might be able to help you find each other.

TweepJob cares immensely about the quality of our application and finds a great deal of satisfaction in watching it grow through increasing adoption, feedback, enhancements, and contributions of our community.  We are looking forward to improvement of the application over time to better meet user’s needs by listening, watching, analysing and under standing how our user’s interact with the service, how the service performs, and what the service offers functionally to the user.

So keep posting to Twitter using our hashtags and we’ll hook you up!
