Founded by Josh Hall in 2007 in Provo, Utah, EnticeLabs utilizes and builds technology to empower HR departments to recruit top talent. TalentSeekr, the flagship product, is shifting the recruiting industry away from job boards that attract only active job seekers (20-30% of the market) towards strategic and targeted online advertising campaignsthat are able to dive deeply into the entire population of the web to find the most ideal candidates. TalentSeekr is an automated one-stop platform that uses targeted ads to engage active and passive job seekers in the websites and communities where they spend time. The ability to self-optimize using sophisticated analytics and principles of genetics provides dramatically better results and far lower costs than traditional recruiting methods. | $2M / Seed / Sep 25, 2009 |
