Nervana, Competition For Jobster?
Nervana jumps out of Life Sciences and into Recruiting?
“The startup, which earlier this year unveiled a search technology for use in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, is changing directions to focus on recruiting. That new direction might put Nervana in competition with Jobster, the Seattle company whose online tools also are designed to help companies find the right candidates. ”

After reading the article and checking out their website, I would see this as more competition for Market10 or Jobkabob, not Jobster. It’s an artificial intelligence job matching system, not a social network. No question, with the advent of the Superstar Tag, Jobster could be looking at a matching system, but it’s still a far cry from a side by side comparison.
The real reason Nervana is getting into the recruiting game is because Nosa Omoigui, Nervana Chairman & CEO smells money, “I am very excited about the direction, because I think it could be extremely profitable,”
