New Albany, OH (PRWEB) February 13, 2014
The City of New Albany’s business incubator, Inc@8000, and New Albany based SunDown RunDown Group are collaborating to create new workshops, showcase events, and expand the New Albany Chapter of SunDown RunDown’s successful evening business idea pitch series to help attract and retain new ventures, connect entrepreneurs, and engage the community.
“It is exciting to begin working with Inc@8000 and New Albany to help entrepreneurs build their businesses and see them grow.” – Paul Proffitt, Founder
SunDown RunDown will be creating a series of monthly workshops, called Lunch & Launch, focused on relevant business issues facing startups and small businesses. Guest speakers from local industry and higher education will be sharing their most recent research and findings. Topics will range from finance and marketing to ideation and customer discovery. These workshops will occur during lunch and provide a great opportunity for professional development and networking.
SunDown RunDown will also host a quarterly open house / venture showcase at Inc@8000 to engage the community and show the talents of local entrepreneurs working to turn their idea into a reality. It will be a celebration of the hard work and innovation exhibited often in this entrepreneurial community.
SundownRundown was formed in March 2013 as a monthly event series designed to provide a venue for central Ohio entrepreneurs to pitch their business ideas to investors, mentors, and talent. Since then, the company has expanded to independent chapters in Akron and Mansfield Ohio; launched the Venture Resources Network to allow entrepreneurs to share and trade their skills or develop business relationships so that entrepreneurs can assist each other; and is in the process of raising a small venture capital fund for early stage ventures.
New Albany, Ohio, is a master planned community of 8,000 residents located fifteen miles northeast of Columbus, Ohio’s capital city, and ten miles from the Port Columbus International Airport. New Albany’s pastoral setting, timeless architecture, world-class amenities and attention to detail offer an exceptional quality of life for its residents. New Albany is also home to one of the largest master planned international business parks in the Midwest, featuring dual feed electric power and fiber optic capabilities for companies of all sizes.

Austin,TX (PRWEB) March 15, 2013
It is never less exciting for start-ups launching at SXSW. This year one of the startups Jobhuk.com, launched at the SXSW Startup Spotlight, has become the new buzzword on the street. Jobhuk.com says they are on a mission to disrupt the human capital space with “CrowdSourced Hiring.”
Their revolutionary recruiting platform is focused on hiring through crowdsourced referrals. Jobhuk leverages human network, the crowd, around the world to support and get best referrals for employers trying to hire best resources. It benefits employers avoiding all regular spam they experience in their hiring process. The crowd gets incentives as heavy as 1%-15% of the gross salary, as a Finders Fee set by employers for each successful hire.
Jobhuk’s has two side for it, First, “Hire by Referral” reveals that all applicants must be referred by a Jobhuk user, defined by anyone with a LinkedIn, Facebook, or simply an email account. Second, “Refer and Get Paid” means that the referring Jobhuk users gets paid finders fee when their referral is hired.
Praneeth Patlola, founder of Jobhuk.com has spent several years in the staffing and recruiting industry. He knew there was a better and more efficient way for companies to find great candidates. Recruiting firms charge commissions of up to 30%, a very costly endeavor to gain access to a relatively limited candidate pool. Online hiring platforms often charge high fees and produce unqualified talent and spam with no guaranteed results. 90% of team he has built was based on referrals to whom he says, he paid a decent amount of referral fees. He spent years searching for the best recruits, experimenting with various methodologies to source qualified candidates. After much trial and error, Patlola identified referrals as consistently the best recruits and most likely to become successful hires. He says, everyone, including himself asks the same question to friends, friends of friends, family members, and co-workers, “Do you know anyone who would be a good fit for this position?” The unveiling of Jobhuk allows employers to ask the same question, but now in real time, to tens of millions of Facebook, LinkedIn, and other network users.
