So while much of the economy and traditional companies have hit the skids on hiring an spending, some startups have some cash and some positions to fill. In an interesting twist on recruiting, as noted in this recent Techcrunch post, some 20 startups in the Boulder, Colorado area are looking to turn the hiring process a little more fun.
It’s hard for one startup to get noticed above the crowd, but what if twenty of them pool their resources, hold a competition and throw a five day party for top recruits? That’s the goal of Gnip
and 19 other Boulder, Colorado based startups who are pitching in $5,000 each to host a multi-day job fair at the end of October.
So here is the deal, if you are looking for a job wth a cool new startup, head over to HERE and upload your resume. The companies are then going to get together and pick the top 100 and invite you out to Boulder for an all expenses paid three day trip. Each day of five, 20 applicants will be rotated in for interviews during the day followed by dinner and parties … hmm doesn’t sound like too bad a deal.
