Bill Zimmerman, the Co-Founder of VC4Africa and an early adopter of splinter.me, said about this partnership:

“We’re very excited about integrating Splinter profiles with VC4A.

At VC4A, we believe in putting entrepreneurs in control and giving them access to the best available tools and services. Building a great company requires access to the right network, expertise and knowledge along the way. It also means having an exceptional team in place to execute the vision. For this reason, we recently launched VC4A Talent, a free recruitment service for startups.

We see Splinter.me as one of the top online tools for job seekers to put their best foot forward. Creating a professional, 360-degree profile with Splinter could not be simpler, and the results are displayed in less than a second. 

We’ve also followed the story of Splinter’s founders and had many positive interactions with Ahmed and Adelina, the two co-founders behind splinter.me, so partnering with them to match job seekers with hiring companies was a natural fit.”

We are as well very honored to start this partnership and we hope that together we can help the emerging startup community in Africa with better ways to connect local talents with work opportunities inside the ventures.

Robert Scoble on the future of recruitment

A few days ago at Tech Open Air Berlin, (you might know him as the Google Glasses most passionate advocate) was talking via skype with the conference participants about technology and its impact on our lives.

Splinter.me team was curious to hear Robert’s view on the future of recruitment, as it is driven by technologies.

Check below his answer.

He was emphasizing on how your social networks can bring you new career opportunities and how employers want to know more about you and check your profiles.

Splinter.me is happy to provide the platform that makes this new natural phenomenon easier for both sides.

For employers it will be easier to find matching candidates about who they will have all the relevant information in one place, as we analyze all the activities on social networks. For talents it will be easier to reveal their professional image based on their social media activities and to find the most fit opportunities.

So join us in beta and get all our benefits soon.
