BranchOut Hiring 45 to Compete With LinkedIn
By Joseph Walker
But whereas LinkedIn markets itself as the antI-Facebook–the place to put forth your most professional self–BranchOut is betting that people’s Facebook identifies are the real key to finding a job. The company’s job postings can only be accessed through Facebook’s site, and job seekers can see who they know at a company whose job they might be interested in applying to. BranchOut’s user growth has been strong. It now has 13 million monthly active users, up from 400,000 less than six months ago. A larger drive in that growth was the introduction of BranchOut’s mobile application in November, Founder and Chief Executive Rick Marini says. Mobile users now constitute 40% of daily traffic. Growth in international markets has helped, too, with non-U.S. users comprising over half of its new user signups.
