[edit] Company profile
SnagAJob.com is a job search engine and resource that focuses entirely on part-time and hourly jobs.
Because of SnagAJob.com’s niche focus – it boasts more than 100,000 job postings at any one time and more than 130 million annual job seeker-generated searches - the company stakes a claim as the No. 1 source for hourly and part-time jobs.[1]
The company offers jobs from the following industries: retail, hospitality, healthcare, service and more. Some employers who are clients of SnagAJob.com include 7-Eleven, Kohl's, Home Depot and Boston Market. And users include teens, working mothers, seniors getting back in the job market and everyone in between.
[edit] Company history in brief
SnagAJob.com is headquartered in Richmond, Va. and was founded in 1999 by Shawn Boyer, who serves as president and CEO of the company.
In the summer of 2006, SnagAJob.com received $9 million in financing from Adams Street Partners, Baird Venture Partners and C&B Capital. The company is using the funding to expand all aspects of its operation. [2]
In 2007, SnagAJob.com acquired naming rights for the concert pavilion at Innsbrook Afterhours, Central Virginia’s longest running mid-week concert series. It is now called SnagAJob.com Pavilion.[3] Also in 2007, SnagAJob.com was awarded the IMPACT Award by The Greater Richmond Chamber of Commerce. The award recognizes a company's growth, culture and community impact. The company was also named to Deloitte's prestigious Technology Fast 50 Program for Virginia and won the Greater Richmond Technology Council's Emerging Company Award[4].
At the U.S. Small Business Administration's celebration of National Small Business Week 2008 on April 22, 2008, Shawn Boyer was selected as the National Small Business Person of the Year.[5] At the awards ceremony, SBA Administrator Steve Preston said, "Shawn Boyer is a perfect example of the creativity and inspiration it takes to become a highly successful entrepreneur in America today. He identified an unmet need and filled it, and today, barely eight years later, his company, SnagAJob.com, has become a hugely successful site for posting and finding hourly and part-time jobs, connecting millions of registered job seekers with active job postings."
