When The Wall St. Journal released its list of the top 50 start-ups of 2012, we were curious. How did the go-getters of the year tackle the recruiting process? Imagine our satisfaction when we discovered that over two thirds of those frontrunners using third-party recruiting platforms are Jobvite customers. Then imagine how we felt a few days ago when The New York Times revealed a list of start-ups currently valued in excess of $1B — and once again, the majority are Jobvite customers.

When Elance CEO Fabio Rosati first arrived at Staffing Industry Analysts’ Executive Forum last week, one of the staffers on hand spotted his badge and approached him. “So, you’re with Elance,” he said. “ You’re the enemy.”. Fabio shared this at the beginning of his breakout session speech, and while it served as a humorous anecdote to warm up the 900+ audience, it certainly didn’t break the tension.

Ok, I get the entrepreneurial spirit thing, but a child dangling his body out carelessly in busy traffic just seemed nuts. Surely there must be some law against it. Actually there are laws but they don’t have much teeth and as of today they have a little less in Arizona as an appeals court upheld a ruling that gave day laborers the
