They have more jobs than any board including non-industry specific boards like Monster or CareerBuilder. hotelscareers.com is very small in comparison.

With so many job boards being bought these days, job board owners are having a tough time coming up with proper valuations for their sites. It sucks that the purchase price isn’t published.

NEVER ask your university professors advice over 5 high net worth entrepreneurs worth over a billion dollars! My guess is they got a few million for it and need to stick around for at least the next year.

However, I think some other corner data like number of users, business model of the company that was bought, etc is of much interest to TC readers.
