Partnership with CTI Invest


We’re proud to annouce a strategic partnership with CTI Invest with respect to the promotion of open positions within Swiss startups. Applications can directly screen for open positions on the website of CTi Invest and startups can freely post open positions through the CTI Invest page. These jobs will then be directly forwarded to our page and all other pages with similar integrations.
More than three years ago, when starting Jobzippers, we aimed at fostering the entrepreneurial career equally to the other career paths. Knowing that startups have a hard time recruiting, we were the first job service in Switzerland to specifically promote the entrepreneurial career path by offering free postings and employer branding for startups. Since then, we have helped a large amount of startups find suitable team members.

 

One example is Sebastian Haller, who joined the Munich-based startup Sportspartners GmbH in 2009. Today, he is the CTO of this globally active company which is running brands such as sportcampus.com and musucbag.com
See his 2009 testimonial here.

 

Since our first initiatives in 2009, it has become trendy to promote jobs in startups. There are now several initiatives which provide free visibility to startups, as seen in the recent posting by Startwerk. A great trend which we strongly encourage.
