The Mosambe work place is under renovation, walls are getting new paint and in general the place is chaos. We are trying to work in the chaos. Fun stuff.

Meanwhile, ’search’ on mosambe is better now. We have also rolled out featured companies, people and jobs under the search bar. Going forward we will be focussing on shifting the search paradigm- the way you look for information on jobs, people and companies can be more interactive, fun, and informative than it is on other sites. We are coming up with new ideas and are excited to roll them out. Keep watching this space for more updates.

We also have a few neat ideas working around the resume (or) your mosambe profile. We are looking at ways in which you can build, engage and derive value from your network. We are also getting the new homepage done which will position the product as we intend it to be. All this, while shifting from a small dedicated team to a slightly bigger one. This has its challenges and we are beginning to realize that

As always, Folks, any inputs, suggestions, notes- please drop by at our forum and give us feedback. Renganathan (http://renganathan.mosambe.com) had some neat pointers about the future direction for mosambe, it was a great discussion. A few of his inputs will be a part of the future roadmap. We do take suggestions/ideas/inputs very seriously. Every new input coming from you helps us think and focus better. Please go ahead and give us more feedback. Don’t be shy.

We have started adding more accounts to import contacts and send out invites. Before the weekend you will have more choice in inviting people from your network to try out Mosambe. On the recruiter front, we have fine tuned the application tray. Work on the newsfeed is being planned out. Progress can be tracked on our forum

We also had some feedback regarding the homepage, the lay-out and content in particular. The content seemed ambiguous to a few and a few did not like the layout, a few felt the page looked feeble. Thank you for pointing this out. We are working towards a new homepage and we will pitch it right this time.

For starters, here are some of our thoughts:

Our idea is simply to amplify your resume to mean =>your education and work experience + your network + your social/professional identity. We make it easy for the employers/recruiters to find you, understand your profile better (since there is more context and meaning to it than a static resume) and shortlist with ease. While doing so, we also hope to sprinkle generous amounts of fun so that professional networking doesn’t come across as dull, stuffy or boring. All the while ensuring that you are always in sync with the opportunities that interest you. Going forward we will continue to work towards this goal. As always- your support and feedback makes the effort worthwhile. Please vote and continue to support us.

cheers-
Team Mosambe.
