I liked it so much, I bought the company.

- Victor Kiam

Ok, well I didn’t buy the company, but I am an investor and co-founder of Standout Jobs. At Akoha we are also proud customers of Standout Jobs.

My involvement in the company was based on my own experiences with hiring, promoting jobs, managing the difficult task of finding great AkohaStandoutJobsPagepeople and building a talent base to hire from.

There are a lot of great productivity tools including on of my favourites which is the browser bookmarklet that allows us to source & track the many great candidates I research for contract, intern and employment opportunities @ Akoha.

When hiring, our team spends hours on LinkedIn and Search Engines checking out candidates online portfolios, blogs and public work (such as contributions to open source & community projects). 

Instead of a spreadsheet of candidates being emailed around and having 30 tabs opened in my browser we can now collaborate, share comments on candidates and maintain active relationships with people we might work with in the future.

Akoha today launched our own career site powered by our sister company Standout Jobs.

We have some intern positions open for web and python developers (Apprentice Ninjas in Akoha speak) - we will be updating the site with new positions in the coming months so subscribe to our site.
