We all know of employers researching candidates for job roles in their organizations but what if you got a chance to review a company, its people, culture, salaries and others even before you submitted your application for a job?

No more does it sound idealistic as JobeeHive, a unique user-generated employer review website launched by Vishwas Mudagal makes it possible. Aimed at enabling professionals and students to research employers and salaries through employer reviews, ratings & salary reports, the BETA version of the website launched in September 2008 has already seen over 20,000 reviews being submitted by employees.

The service enables current or ex-employees to rate/review companies anonymously to help other users know the inside dope – job offers, announcements, business opportunities and more. Much like a social networking site, it helps users to leverage the platform to interact with diverse industry professionals.

Explains Vishwas, “JobeeHive.com was started to provide to users, valuable information for making informed career decisions which was otherwise not accessible. We have taken an innovative approach by publishing employer reviews and ratings submitted by employees themselves – because employees know the best about an employer.”
That perhaps explains why 200,000+ professionals have researched employers & salaries on JobeeHive.com with 1+ million hits since January 2009. All this without spending a single penny on marketing; informs Vishwas who believes that their growth has been purely viral.

Given the employee submitted reviews of companies, the website is also turning out to be a great tool for employers to gauge genuine feedback and compare themselves with the competition and the industry so also to communicate back to professionals, hire talent and build a good brand.

A win-win model for both employees and employers, JobeeHive.com is uniquely positioned in the job market as a service which compliments job sites & generic professional networks.
