Company Summary

Recruiting sites and job boards like Monster and LinkedIn feel like they were designed ten years ago – and they were.

What’s missing is an interactive multimedia experience that engages users directly with hiring companies, provides users with the opportunity for professional development between each hiring transition, and enables the recruitment of passive candidates, the most valuable candidates in the market.

Welcome to Company Muse.
