A New Venture – Impactiviti Talent Network
May 26, 2010 6 Comments
This week marks the official launch of something I’ve been working on for months – an On-line Job Board tied to Social Networking.
Maybe you can help us get it off the ground? Please read on.
My main money-making business has been in the pharma field – specifically, “matchmaking” pharma/biotech/med device client needs with optimal vendor/suppliers. It’s a wonderful business, being built on trust and networking – yet one of the (welcome) side effects is a constant behind the scenes effort to help people find new jobs, and clients find new talent. I’ve wanted for quite some time to find a way to meet this “matchmaking” need in a way that will build the business and help the most people.
- Impactiviti Talent Network
I launched a Job Board (giving credit here to Twitter pal Jeremiah Owyang, who blazed this trail before me – thanks, Jeremiah!), but it was clear that the need was too large for me to take on without diluting the rest of my business.
So – I have brought on a business partner to run the Talent Network. On-line job posting will appear in a large searchable database (and in LinkedIn), AND be promoted throughout my extensive Impactiviti pharma social network. My partner Jan is making calls into the vast pool of organizations who could benefit from this broad and targeted approach to getting industry job listings noticed.
It’s a win-win-win business model, my favorite kind. Here’s the link to the overview and the Job Board.
How can you help? Well, by tweeting the link to this post, for one thing – I want to gain maximum exposure for this initiative. And especially, if you have any contacts in pharma/biotech/med devices HR organizations – staffing professionals who are looking for a recruiting edge – would you please send them the link (http://impactiviti.wordpress.com/impactiviti-job-board/)? There’s a downloadable .pdf file there that gives the basic info needed.
If you know people we should talk to who would benefit, please feel free to send me an e-mail (stevew at impactiviti dot com)
Also, any companies that service the pharma industry (agencies, vendors, etc.), and want to list jobs, can do so as well. And, of course, job seekers can go right to the Impactiviti Job Board and search for new positions.
Thank you in advance for being part of this new venture. It’s social networking being put to work!

Great idea Steve, i will be delighted to help any way I can. I have a few contacts in the industry and will get this to them right away.
Best wishes for great success.
Thanks so much, Joe!
I will tweet it! And…sent it along to my daughter who is still in the search for a full-time job (after getting her Master’s degree two years ago!)
She currently works two part-time jobs at two different colleges. Her Master’s is in Forensic Drug Chemistry (College of Pharmacy) from University of Florida (though since we are Florida State fanatics we don’t discuss that detail very much.) 🙂
Anyway, cool stuff!
Congratulations on the new venture, Steve!
