“Finding the right people to join their team is a huge hurdle for startups who are focused on growing their businesses,” said Scott Case, CEO of the Startup America Partnership. “SmartRecruiters makes that process easier and we’re thrilled to have them on board as a new partner to help our members.”

SmartRecruiters Office Manager Melinda Johnson explains how our tech startup, SmartRecruiters, is creating its new place of business:

Over the past 6 weeks, our 750 square foot office space in SOMA has become a bit…shall we say…cozy. Desks (and the people to fill them) have doubled and with no end in sight to SmartRecruiters hiring, I expect we’ll soon be hanging desks from the ceiling.

Last year, we saw positive growth in the economy, and a reduction in unemployment has slowly followed. This year is the time for us to take the next step. This year is about getting America back to work. Help us beat the government’s unemployment expectations, and we’ll help you hire the best talent to beat last year’s bottom-line. 2012!

In advance of this September 5 Labor Day, SmartRecruiters CEO and Zero Unemployment Movement founder Jerome Ternynck encourages everyone to add the word, “Give,” to Labor Day.

Before enjoying a well-earned day off on September 5, Ternynck proposes we all take fifteen minutes of our time to help a friend get a job.

Labor Day has always been a time to remember and celebrate achievement.

Academia may come up with ideas on how to reduce friction in the labor market, but it is the businesses’ responsibility to implement the methods for real growth in output. Dale Mortensen won the 2010 Nobel Prize for his thoughts on how to reduce friction in the labor market. SmartRecruiters looks to Professor Mortensen as proof that the labor markets can and should be made more efficient.
