Congrats, Standout Jobs!
January 28th, 2008 Posted in Venture Capital
A quick congratulations to Montreal-based Standout Jobs, which just unveiled a $2-million financing from iNovia Capital.
It’s great to see early-stage Canadian start-ups attract growth equity. Standout Jobs, which is developing a video-based recruiting tool, is having a big week as it’s also presenting at DEMO 08 on Wednesday.

Standout has moved away from the video-based model…they’ve moved into more of a company portal model, providing some candidate-management backend razzamatazz with a front-end that’s a cross between pageflakes and facebook.
The trick of course is figuring out a way to simultaneously keep mass headhunters out, and quality (read: employed and happy) potential candidates in. Which is precisely the reason that the big boards are bleeding market share.
