ReferralMob's Mobile Job Referral Platform Makes Initial Job Placements; Pays Thousands of Dollars to Its App-Using Public

Boston, MA, July 10, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Boston-based talent acquisition company ReferralMob, Inc., the leading peer-to-peer job referral network, announced accelerating momentum in the rapid adoption of its job referral platform in which a continuous stream of near instantaneous job referrals are flowing to employers that post on ReferralMob’s platform.

“ReferralMob blew away our expectations,” commented David Lavallee, CEO of Boston-based GameFace Media, Inc.  “We made a great hire who was referred to us through ReferralMob’s influencer network and we had multiple candidate referrals almost immediately after posting on its platform.”

“With its passion for athletics, photography and technology, GameFace Media has proven to be a popular destination for our audience of millennials,” noted David Samuels, CEO of ReferralMob. “We are executing on our plan to Uberize the recruiting industry and writing out checks for thousands of dollars to users of the ReferralMob app who not only are engaging happily employed talent for employers on our platform, but are also doing a big favor for their colleagues and friends being referred.”

ReferralMob also announced the recent closing of its seed stage financing.  Stage 1 Ventures joined MIT Media Lab founder Nicholas Negroponte, former Boston Consulting Group CFO and board member Larry Begley, EnerNOC co-founders Tim Healy and David Brewster, former i-Cube CEO Mike Pehl, and other Boston technology leaders in rounding out ReferralMob’s financing.

“ReferralMob is led by a team that has created a ton of value for its stakeholders in the past and its technology platform addresses the most critical need that companies face over the next several years: finding the talent required to succeed,” declared David Baum, Managing Director of Stage 1 Ventures, “That’s why we joined the who’s who list of early supporters of this exciting company.”

In connection with the seed round closing, technology and media pioneer and investor Steven Kane will join ReferralMob’s board of directors.  ReferralMob will use the new funding to speed customer acquisition and to enhance product development.
