Hiring Bounty<\/a>, a new recruitment startup founded by Greg Schneider<\/a> in August 2012, is planning to disrupt the online recruitment market by using crowdsourcing to find the best candidates for companies.<\/p>\n

Hiring Bounty allows individuals to get paid to recommend their friends, ex-colleagues and business contacts for positions listed on the site. Levering the network effect, Hiring Bounty employs Crowdsourcing to connect the right individual with the right jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cClients pay significantly less, job seekers find jobs more quickly, referrers earn well and Hiring Bounty takes a commission on successful hires that have been at the job for 3 months or more,\u201d explained Schneider.<\/p>\n

The company, which is funded by 42Engines, has already signed up a few large clients including Woolworths<\/a>, Famous Brands<\/a>, Amazon<\/a> and Deloitte<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Shier would not divulge current revenues, he said that are currently achieving upward of 10% weekly growth on 95% of their business metrics.<\/p>\n
