A leg up on the competition? That appears to be the intent of GreenLeg.com, a new niche employment site in the U.S. for health-care pros.
Developed by Biyn Development of Hanover, Mass., the site claims that it offers recruiters and job-seekers better matches and easier use than traditional job boards.
Physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and registered nurses can post résumés on the site, which employers and recruiters can search (with the job-seekers’ permission, to protect those who don’t want their employers to know they’re looking for jobs).
Recruiters can post positions with a few clicks on a form that produces an “informative and attractive” posting. Advertisers can post and track ads in a process that “the most unsophisticated of Web users can do all…online, within minutes,” according to Greenleg.
All to the good, of course, though we have misgivings about the site’s name, which makes us think of gangrene. But Jerry Agbon, Biyn’s COO, laughed when he heard our concern, and told us the site has nothing to do with that malady. GreenLeg’s founder, Dr. Mazen Eneyni, likes to use colors to name his business enterprises, Agbon explained.
He picked green for his medical employment site because green connotes fertility and growth. So far, according to Agbon, the new job site “is doing well,” though it needs to be promoted more.
