Montreal Tech Watch

Standoutobs, which aims to help companies find key talent, announced they have now a new partner, CUhire, a company dedicated on helping credit unions on their recruiting efforts.

I thought that this was a smart business move, in the sense that CUhire is certainly more knowledgeable and more resourceful when it comes to their industry — decupling then Standoutjobs’s sales effort. If they are capable of offering customized portals and features, this opens up new opportunities for Standoutjobs. The company’s main product, RECEPTION, is now free, but there is certainly business to be done here when they will decide to introduce a paying plan.

Ben Yoskovitz has also been busy putting together a podcast show focused on recruiting. OK, I admit I stopped listening when there was a 20 seconds pause at the beginning, but the show and the partnerships makes me think they are on the good track. Hope they will come up with similar creative initiatives next.
