LinkedIn确认收购招聘推荐软件Careerify
拥有超过 3 亿用户的 LinkedIn 昨日宣布收购总部位于多伦多的 Careerify。公司成立于 2009 年，已有不少企业在使用 Careerify，其中包括 Deloitte, Groupon, Microsoft, SpaceX 和 Unilever。
Careerify 是款招聘推荐软件，可通过抓取员工的社交网络信息（像 LinkedIn、Twitter 和 Facebook），来发现他们的朋友适合公司的哪些工作职位。换言之，就是通过覆盖更大的人脉网络来帮助企业完成招聘工作。除此之外，Careerify 能及时通知本公司的员工，告诉他们公司有哪些新开放的职位，有助于将好的人才留住。
以下为Careerify创始人及首席执行官Harpaul Sambhi在其官网上发布的一封信件：
招聘推荐软件Careerify成立之初就心怀远大梦想：消除全球失业的同时让客户更有利可图更有策略。而如今，我很高兴的告知各位，我们被linkedin收购了（我们决定加入linkedin）。
我们创业之初恰逢最萧条的年代，那时候数以百万计找工作的人的求职经历用大海捞针来形容一点也不为过。于是，我们提出相应的解决方案，通过抓取员工的社交网络信息，以此找寻并及时推荐适合公司空缺公开职位的最佳人选。
加入linkedin，是因为我们缺乏它那样的大数据。全球有大约超过三万多家公司的招聘是受linkedin的影响，仅注册人数就有三亿四千七百万，这么庞大的用户群可以让领英在求职招聘中发挥更大的影响。我们非常兴奋能加入linkedin，这样可以提高我们的技术，能接触更大范围的人才。
与linkedin合作，Careerify不仅仅是专注内部流动性和招聘品牌，我们会更专注于更新人员推荐软件，为已有用户提供更好的服务，不再接收新用户。
回首过去，我们做出的这般惊人成就得益于广大用户，谢谢你们无条件的支持，我们才走到今天这一步。这些年来你们的长久追随和信任我们的目标，对此我们表示深深的感谢。
就如俗话说的那样：事业与激情的结合是多么美好的事情啊！我们期待与领英团队的合作，来帮助用户找到他们梦寐以求的工作，找到与职位最匹配的人。
祝好！

The Next Frontier: Careerify Joins LinkedIn
Careerify was founded with a bold mission: to eradicate unemployment globally while making our clients more profitable and strategic. Today, I’m happy to share that we’ve been acquired by LinkedIn.
We started this business during one of the worst recessions of our time, where the term ‘needle in a haystack’ reflected the job search experience for millions of candidates. In response, we developed a referral solution that looked at open jobs within an organization and scanned its employees’ connections on social networks in real-time to pinpoint the perfect candidate.
We decided to join LinkedIn due to what we lacked – massive scale. More than 30,000 companies across the globe leverage LinkedIn for recruitment, and with more than 347 million members, LinkedIn offers an opportunity to make a much larger impact on job seeking and hiring. We are absolutely thrilled to be joining LinkedIn to accelerate our technology and connect talent with opportunity on a massive scale.
As we work with LinkedIn, Careerify will no longer focus its efforts on internal mobility and employer branding. We’ll focus purely on further improving our employee referral software for existing customers, and will not be taking on new customers.
Reflecting on this incredible journey, we would like to thank our customers for their unbelievable support. You stood by us and believed in our mission throughout the years and there are simply no words to express our gratitude for that.
As the saying goes, “It’s a beautiful thing when career and passion come together.” We look forward to working with the LinkedIn team to help people find their dream jobs, and jobs find the right people.
All the best,
Harpaul Sambhi
Careerify Founder and CEO
