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.

US Senate Approves $ 17.5 Billion Job Creation Package


The US senate has approved a $17.5 billion package creating tax credits for employers who hire unemployed Americans. With unemployment rates having reached 9.7% in the US, as opposed to 7.7% in January 2009 this is another incentive to provide some light guiding towards the end of the tunnel. So what has been done so far? Around the world more than $2.6 trillion had been invested by governments to bail out banks and jump start economic growth. In January this year, Obama and the US government had agreed on a $30 billion package to small firms thus clearly signalling to support the startup behavior of people. Now, another $17.5 billion to promote hiring unemployed people. Altogether, this seems like a rather desperate approach to quickly solve the current economic problems. But which of these three rather diverse approaches end up being the real drive to help healing the economy and creating new jobs?
