Jobot Launches New Recruiting Platform

Los Angeles-based Jobot, a new startup focused on helping connect job seekers with recruiters and employers, said Tuesday morning that it has launched, looking to both address skills and cultural fit of employees in the recruiting process. The startup was founded by Heidi Golledge, co-founder and former CEO of recruiting firm CyberCoders. Golledge also previously was co-founder and Chief Happiness Officer at CareerBliss. According to the company, its platform "makes for faster, more affordable hiring" and includes such features as scouring the web for "ready to run" talent and those likely to soon be on the market, and works "with or without the aid of real-life recruiters." The startup claims to use artificial intelligence software as part of its platform.
