Doostang Makes Your Job Hunt Merrier with the Content Partners Lottery

Aug 20

Posted by doostang in New Features, Special Offers | View Comments

christmas-money

Christmas is still four months away, but these times of recession call for more giving. And it looks like Santa’s donning a Doostang t-shirt this year!

We wrapped up the second cycle of the Doostang Content Partners Program this past Friday, and the results were astounding. With a total of 161 upgrades from our partner-generated jobs, the community Partner Pool grew from the initial $500 to over $2100. First place winner Sam walked away with over $2800 in winnings, and we gave out almost $4000 in total.

We’ve got plenty more cash to hand out and we’re sure you’ve got plenty of jobs to send us. Let’s get on that. For those of you interested in the program, read on for more details.

1. You send jobs (finance, consulting, marketing, legal, biz dev) to us at jobs@doostang.com. We post these jobs. Users upgrade to premium after clicking through your jobs.
  • You get $10 for every upgrade
  • You receive 1 entry into the Partner Pool
  • $10 is added to the Partner Pool
2. There is no limit to how many upgrades a job can get. If John sends in 1 job and gets 8 upgrades from it, he’ll receive $80 and 8 entries into the Partner Pool. His upgrades also add $80 to the Partner Pool.
  • There’s also no limit to the Partner Pool. It’s uncapped, so as long as your jobs are converting, the pool is growing!
3. Every other Monday (this cycle ends August 31), we will hold a lottery drawing, and one lucky person will win the entire pool.

4. Even if you don’t win the pool, the money you earned from upgrades is yours to keep!

Email alex@doostang.com if you have any questions or want additional details.

May your job search be merry and bright,

Has George W. gone Premium? And other questions of import

Feb 24

Posted by doostang in New Features | View Comments

Our Premium Jobs have generated a lot of interest from our members (not to mention     Businessweek), and a few questions. Whether you’re on the market and curious due to the   recession or term limits, we wanted to take a moment to answer them:

Is Premium right for me?
You’re really the best judge of this, if we had to characterize our Premium Jobs here’s what we’d say: several thousand elite opportunities, about half in finance and half in other industries (consulting, media, entertainment and technology are big), mostly in major metro areas (New York, San Francisco, LA, etc), and from the internship to VP level, with a sweet spot at the 2-6 years of experience range. It’s no coincidence that mirrors our community demographics ;) . Here’s a quick taste:

Once I Go Premium, can I see the names of the hiring companies?
Absolutely. You’ll have access to the full description of every Premium Job, and can apply to as many as you’d like for the duration of your subscription.

What happens when I submit my application? Where does it go?
ALL of our Premium Jobs go to REAL PEOPLE, i.e. hiring managers. Why should you care? A lot of jobs posted online aren’t advertisements for real openings. If you’ve ever encountered postings tied to generic company inboxes or, worse yet, fake postings by a recruiting agency that’s just collecting resumes, you know how frustrating this is. Not on Doostang – our Premium Jobs are real jobs, with real people and a real inbox behind them. Beat’s a black hole, right?

These jobs are great, but it would be nice to save some money right now. Any discounts?
Damn straight. There are two ways to Go Premium and save. First, all members of our preferred alumni networks are eligible for exclusive discounts up to 40% so, join your school network today. Second, once you go premium, you can refer your friends to Premium and have your membership extended for free every time one of your friends upgrades. And get this – your friends will get a 50% discount, something they will likely appreciate in light of, well, the “R” word.

So, has George W. gone Premium?
Either that or the guys with wires in their ears in an unmarked van outside our office are just the future of bluetooth.

That’s it for now, but please keep the questions coming! That’s how we make Doostang better for you.

Happy Tuesday,

Team Doostang
