Fastest Growing Job Boards
January 27, 2011
Our search engine optimization expert friend, Joel Cheesman, recently posted a congratulatory note to some of the fastest growing job boards as ranked in the annual Inc. 5000 awards.
The winners that Joel highlighted were:
- Jobing – the 558th fastest growing privately held company from 2004 through 2007. They had 585.3 percent growth during that period with 2007 revenues of $36.2 million and 386 employees. That’s $93,782.38 per employee.
- CollegeRecruiter.com at 1,043. Our growth rate was 269.5 with 2007 revenue of $2.4 million and eight employees. That’s $300,000 per employee.
- Beyond.com at 1,297. Their growth rate was 292.3 with 2007 revenues of $10.3 million. That’s $137,333.33 per employee.
One job board that Joel missed was Guru.com at 1,818. Their growth rate was 207.0 percent with 2007 revenues of $18.5 million. That’s $925,000 per employee. Wow. And I thought that we were doing well.
Congratulations to all 5000 winners. None of us are doing everything right, but we all must be doing a lot of things right for our clients in order to achieve the type of growth we demonstrated over those four years.
