Job Search Organizer Sees Explosive Growth, Surpassing 2 Million Users Less Than 9 Months After Reaching A Million
Lebanon, NH (PRWEB) October 16, 2013 -- StartWire (http://www.startwire.com), the nation’s leading online job search organizer, logged a million users in May of 2013 and surpassed 2 million users today, effectively doubling its growth rate in less than 6 months.
StartWire has seen strong backing from its active user base, leading to exponential growth. A recent survey shows that 86% of StartWire’s active users would recommend StartWire to family and friends looking for work.
“StartWire is my personal assistant in job searching. I love it! I'm already spreading the word of this hidden treasure,” says recent StartWire user Priyanka of Washington D.C.
What makes StartWire exceptional is its ability to go beyond just job listings. StartWire is a comprehensive tool for improving the process of job search. It offers tools to address the needs of job seekers other than just finding jobs. It simplifies the process of a diverse online job search with Tracker, speeds up applications with Express Apply jobs and keeps its users in the know with automatic job application updates from over 8,500 employers
Tracker is the newest tool in StartWire’s toolbox, a wildly popular browser plug-in that addresses the fact that most people search for jobs on 3 or more sites. Tracker stores all viewed jobs and analyzes that search history to offer smart job recommendations.
“I spend less time sorting through duplicate jobs and I always have a record of my job applications,” said Cindy, an active job seeker and Tracker beta tester.
StartWire also offers Express Apply jobs, allowing job seekers to complete long and tedious applications quickly. Signing up for StartWire is all it takes to complete the application process for a wide variety of jobs. StartWire uses that information to fill out applications for the job seeker, so they can apply in just 60 seconds.
StartWire even addresses, one of the biggest complaints in job search, the dreaded resume ‘black hole.’ 89% of job seekers report that application feedback would make job search less frustrating. With StartWire, applicants can receive automatic updates on their applications from over 8,500 employers. As soon as the employer makes a decision, StartWire applicants know about it.
“There is nothing worse than sending your fine-tuned employment docs into the ‘black hole,’” Heike, a StartWire user from Escondido, CA explains.
StartWire’s commitment to solving the real, persistent problems of job search have allowed it to grow rapidly since its founding in 2011.
“StartWire works and because it works, job seekers have been recommending StartWire to others. As a result, we’ve seen strong growth,” says StartWire CEO, Chris Forman.
