EnticeLabs, the Provo, Utah startup behind job ad network TalentSeekr, raised $2 million in a strategic seed round led by First Advantage, a publicly traded company which a recruiting arm. Existing angel investors, including Omniture co-founders Josh James and John Pestana, also invested. The company previously raised $1.3 million from angels two years ago.
The company’s main product is an ad network for job recruiting called TalentSeekr. Employment ads are placed across the Web on social networks, industry forums, and blogs, where they are tested and optimized. It tries to target the most qualified job candidates where they naturally hang out online, instead of targeting only the unemployed on job boards. TalentSeekr is in private beta, but some companies already trying it out include IBM, GE, Dell, and Google.
Last week, EnticeLabs also made an important hire of its own. One of Monster.com’s top sales reps, Cyndi Nicoletti, jumped ship to work for EnticeLabs. Maybe she saw one of their ads.
Well search and placement gone boom after the recession. New and innovative products will sure hit th e-markets
EnticeLabs is very nice and we use their products in our blog http://www.open-tube.com
Good Luck EnticeLabs
I’ve had the chance to meet a couple Entice Lab team members and they were very smart. Great product and great group. Good luck!
Congrate. I saw EnticeLabs present at http://www.launchup.org/ earlier this year. Good guys.
These guys are the sharpest in the industry. The concept is super innovative. This round is just the beginning for these guys…we’re going to see a massive acquisition of this company someday. They own this part of the sourcing market.
Way to go on getting Cyndi- she rocked the house at Monster…”jumped ship” Iove it. Looking forward to more techcrunch updates about this company.
