Classified Ad Company Edgeio Shuts Down & Blames Investors

Edgeio

announced late last week that it was ceasing operations and looking to

liquidate its assets. The company, which had recently raised $6M in

Candidate Tracking System - Why We Chose Jobvite

Over the past several months, I have been in the throes of a candidate

tracking system selection and implementation process. It was a daunting

task. There are hundreds of systems out there, and I had to narrow it

down to the right one for BSG Alliance. We look at all of our software
