Come Together - YorZ Groups
Wednesday, November 16th, 2005First, apologies for the dearth of posts this past month. We’ve had our noses down meeting with many of you and working on some new features and there hasn’t been as much time for blogging. We hope to get back to it, though, in the coming weeks.
So what have we been up to during our days-of-no-blogging? We’re glad you asked.
Tonight we quietly rolled out YorZ Groups - a collection of features that should further help top candidates connect with great companies. Groups are exclusive communities that bring together talented people that want to stay abreast and share quality job opportunities. They offer candidates a way to stand out and employers a way to reach a pre-qualified audience of top-notch passive candidates.
We’re starting with 10 groups spread across three categories:
- Top Schools - university alums and students
- Leading Companies - veterans of industry titans
- Respected Professionals - recommended by their peers
Group membership is by invitation only. Anyone can submit listings on YorZ and via group-specific email addresses, but all posts are moderated to ensure the high quality of the listings. Of course, listings can be viewed online, via email, or both.
Many invitations are tied to email addresses and domain names - often alumni or company addresses, so add all your email addresses to your YorZ profile to see your invites.
Please take a look and let us know what you like and what we can do better. Also, thank you to everyone that provided feedback and input on Groups. We know we still have a lot of improvements to make - keep the suggestions coming! You can send product suggestions, bugs or new group ideas to: feedback [at] yorz [dot] com.
