Lead Developer (Position#: dvp0001)

Overview:

We believe there is something wrong with the way people manage their networking efforts. We see the time and pain that job seekers experience when they attempt to combine the multiple resources at their disposal; switching between LinkedIn/calendar/email/to-do lists/phone contacts/Facebook is time intensive, inefficient and typically a giant mess. There should be a better solution — a way to make these different silos of personal and professional contacts usable at the push of a button. That’s where KallBox comes in.

Kallbox offers (1)productivity tools to maximize job-seekers’ networking efforts; (2)built-in frameworks to guide job-seekers with reminders, tips and blueprints for navigating the nodes of their network; and (3)customization and analytics to empower university career development centers in supporting students’ in their job search.
