2009 has been an incredible year for the startup
scene in Singapore. Despite the challenges of the painful global
economic downturn, we’ve witnessed many of you grow from strength to
strength and bringing much needed cheer and excitement to our community.
Over
the past few years, SGEntrepreneurs, E27, The Digital Movement, MY
Entrepreneurs, Hackerspace and Young Upstarts have been actively
supporting local and regional startups to grow your exposure and
awareness, and even markets for your products and services. We’ve also
been supporting your growth, putting up job listings for free to help
you find suitable talents for your startups.
Today, we are
excited to share with you a part of our plan to take this support to
another level. We are glad to announce the introduction of
Triple Point Job Board, a job listings service that will be rolled out across all partner sites to help startups find suitable human resource talent.
This
application was developed to help facilitate and deal with the
increasing demand for job listings across partner sites. In addition,
we hope that through this arrangement, we can offer greater value to
startups, advertisers and other partners through access to all our
sites at the same time.
We would like to state upfront that Triple Point Job Board will not be a free service (click
here
to see the rates). We recognize that some of you will not be happy to
be charged for a service that you previously have gotten free from
partner sites. However, we believe that the fees offered for the
service are nominal and extremely fair. Any proceeds – which, as you
can imagine, is likely to be a pittance anyway – go towards the
development and maintenance of the service. Any left over will
inherently be ploughed back into supporting the local startup
communities. For a start, any existing job listings within the past two
months that are currently on the partner sites have been converted for
free for a month. You should be able to check out your respective job
listings on the site now.
We’re hopeful that you share our
vision for a more cooperative, close-knit startup community. We’d love
to hear your feedback on Triple Point Job Board. Feel free to contact
us for any clarification.
Wishing you greetings for the festive season,
