Jeff Stewart does it again

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

Jeff Stewart, one of RPI’s serial entrepreneurs, has started yet another venure: Urgent Careers.

According to BNet: “Urgent Career today unveiled its groundbreaking service, which applies linguistic analysis to the job matching space. By utilizing linguistic technology to analyze and match sales professionals with compatible roles, Urgent Career seeks to eliminate both unnecessary hiring mistakes for growing companies and poor career choices for sales professionals.”

I originally heard about this in an article in Crain’s New York: “Despite a weak job market, two Manhattan-based tech companies that provide niche job hunting services are expanding. Urgent Career unveiled on Wednesday a new service that helps companies hire good sales people, while BountyJobs Inc., which operates a Web site that connects headhunters to employers, has raised $12 million in venture funding.”

I don’t think this is a complete list, but here are some of the companies Jeff has started:

  • Square Earth
  • Mimeo.com
  • Monitor110
  • Urgent Career
