Jobster is now Recruiting.com
Jobster has changed its name to Recruiting.com, with the Seattle company notifying customers of the change this week. The heavily-funded startup purchased the Recruiting.com domain name and blog in 2006 for an undisclosed price. It has been using that name for its business-to-business online recruiting tools since last July.
Those include tools to help recruiters better manage candidates in their databases, email accounts and social networks. The consumer-oriented Jobster Web site continues to function, as do emails that are sent to the Jobster addresses, said CEO Jeff Seely.
A one-time high-flyer that once employeed 150 employees, Jobster has encountered rough times in the past two years. Last November, the company cut 38 percent of its work force, bringing staffing levels down to just 25 workers.
At the time, Seely said that the market environment was tough for a company trying to sell recruiting tools.
"It is harder to sell clients. It is harder to grow the business," he said. "If we want to plan for the future, we need to be taking all of that into consideration."
Jobster has raised some $55 million from Ignition Partners, Reed Elsevier Ventures and others.
