"The digital generation has widely embraced social networking, user generated content, and video; Jobster is bringing these technologies to career development and humanizing the job search process. The digital generation has demanded more efficient business models and Jobster is committed to bringing innovations to the employment category"

New Web 2.0 additions to the site include digital profiles and resumes, "Superstar Tags" that allow job seekers to better highlight skills and attributes, the ability to upload video profiles, the ability for users "fave" each other as a recommendation tool, and jobseeker profile URLs that can be sent to prospective employers.

“We believe that people hire people not resumes, and that people go to work for people not for job descriptions," said Goldberg. "That is why we are embracing digital career profiles which utilize user generated content, tag-based data and navigation models, and video, to help bring the real person behind the resume and the job description to life.”

The new ad-supported platform has been compared to how PlentyOfFish brings potential lovers together without charging couples to connect. TechCrunch's Michael Arrington
