What Company Is Offering:

RiseSmart is a human-powered job search service that prescreens online search results for time-starved managers and executives. The RiseSmart team matches opportunities with jobseekers based on each member’s unique profile, freeing senior-level professionals to focus on networking or the demands of their current jobs.

How Much They Got From VCs:
RiseSmart, the human-powered job search service for $100K+ earners, announced today that it has secured a $1.5 million seed round of financing from angel investors, including leading authorities in the human resources and recruitment industry.

Bridging the gap between traditional job boards and the personal attention of a career coach, RiseSmart – a subscription-based service competing with executive job sites such as TheLadders.com – assigns each member a personal “Job Concierge” who is responsible for matching member profiles with the most relevant job listings returned through an intelligent automated search of its million-job database.

Who Is Backing Them:
RiseSmart’s investors include Craig Stamm, the former chief financial officer for CareerBuilder.com and Headhunter.net; Mark Hamdan, founder and chief executive officer of HRsmart, an Inc. 500 HR technology company; and Louis Ramery, senior vice president of relationship marketing at Sears Holdings Corporation.
