Announcing a Major New ReadWriteWeb Project: The Jobwire

2008-10-28T16:59:05Z

We're excited to introduce today the launch of a new content channel here at ReadWriteWeb. It's called the ReadWriteWeb Jobwire and it's a site dedicated to reporting on people who have been hired for new jobs in tech, new media and related companies.

We've been working on it for months, well before the current economic climate unfolded, but we're hoping that a whole site of good news will serve our readers well in these troubled times. Companies are still hiring, people are still getting cool new jobs, and we're going to report on it. We invite you to check out the new Jobwire site to meet the Jobwire team, learn about our special guest editors and check out some of the great new jobs people have landed lately! Click here to read more and meet the Jobwire team.

Great stuff! With the bad economy, there is nothing better than to list job openings. There will always be openings in tech in the coming years and hopefully this will get the brightest minds in spots where they can succeed!

Hi Marshall,

Hope all is well. Chris Brogan pointed me to the new JobWire. Excellent idea and agree with Jesse above that the timing is right. IT will encourage others to read about the moves and new jobs.

So, is the new Jobwire a site where you announce which tech celeb or high power people got a job somewhere? I guess it is not for the regular Joe Schmoe, right?

Just curious...

:-D Great and helpful idea.

Positivity is also informative - rather than constant bad news

Mircea, thanks for commenting. We'll be covering lots of Regular Joe Schmoe's when we find out about their getting jobs in tech or new media. And we'll make 'em feel like rock stars as best we can! Send us what news you've got!

I think it's great timing in terms of the economy because it serves a need to help people that are looking for jobs as a result of recent layoffs a quick way to see what's happening and where the jobs are.

Very useful and I've passed it along!

Do it both ways - tell us when they are fired as well. More fun! :-)

I'm not seeing the Jobwire site permanently linked to on the main page, so how are folks supposed to get there? Shouldn't the "Jobs" header on the top banner go straight to Jobwire now?

All in all, very cool. Hope it gives folks a little something to be hopeful about these days!
