social recruitment site Zubka gets cash from Benchmark Capital

So no news on Benchmark's site yet, but a post entry on Zubka's blog. This site is surfing on a new wave of HR recruitment: companies post an offer and propose a bounty to anyone who finds a suitable candidate. Hence bounty-hunters start tapping in their friends addressbook, looking for the right person, hoping for a quick buck.

Benchmark is by no means the smallest investor around, with a few billion dollars under management. Interesting investment.

We have our own JobMeeters in France that has been promoting the same concept for the past 18 months... Here's my interview of the co-founders in October 2005, and them presenting later in March 2006.
