Israeli Site Helps Americans Find Jobs

Countless Americas are currently facing layoffs as unemployment rates stagnate. With more than 22 million Americans using social networks to find their most recent jobs, Ran Enoch has developed the Israeli startup JobsMiner to help Americans find jobs.

Jobsminer.com serves as a job aggregator that is all-encompassing. The site uses Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google Plus to find hidden jobs which job seekers may not be aware of.

The company utilizes the technology of Makam, an Israeli company which has been reviewing social media for seven years to assist businesses which operate in the government, security and healthcare fields in both Israel and internationally.
