Jobg8 North America announce new General Manager
Jobg8 the innovative job board network which enables its members to buy and sell qualified job applications as well as share job posting, announces that, Louise Grant is to become the Groups CEO and from the 1st June will take full operational control of the North American operation
Grant who has been running the European and Asia Pac operation comments “with our President Matt Hoffner having to take an enforced break due to ill health and the globalisation of our business we have created this new role to help us steer the business to the next level”.
She adds “I’d like to thank Matt for all his efforts over the last 5 years in building the Jobg8 business in North America, for us this is a huge market and one that I’m delighted to be working in again”.
Jobg8 has over the last 5 years built a network of over 4500 job boards globally and through the Jobg8 platform job boards can buy matched, qualified applications as well as exchange that valuable commodity, jobs.
But Grant is quick however to point out “we are not an aggregator, far from it, we work with some aggregators as partners but our prime users are job boards who either want more content to satisfy their jobseekers needs or matched applications for their job board client needs” which is often misunderstood and Grant points this out “the clients never know that we are supporting their job board of choice, our client is the job board and we have no direct relationship with the end user”
One of Grants first tasks in North America will be running the North American Job Board Summit in Chicago on the 20th/21st June 2013, Grant comments “this is the second Job Board Summit that Jobg8 have run and follows the launch last November of the highly successful European Job Board Summit, which was attended by 163 delegates from 18 countries, with Matt’s support we have a fantastic speaker line up and one that any job board could learn from.
I’m really looking forward to meeting many of our clients at the event comment Grant and “For me the US market is huge and one that we have built a good footprint in and now intend to build on, job boards are still one of the key ways people find work and recruiters find candidates and we work with the job boards to ensure that jobseekers find relevant jobs and recruiters a great matched candidate”
