Hound.com

Hound.com is a United States-based employment website. The website collects job data from employer’s career websites, and relies on data aggregation methods to collect employment information directly from employers’ websites.
History
In 1995, Hound One was launched. As the precursor to the current prototype, Hound was one of the first job sites on the Internet.
In 2005, Hound was purchased by the Pasadena-based entity, the Employment Research Institute and BCGsearch.com. The website was named for CEO Harrison Barnes’ dog, Madison, who was a bloodhound.
In 2006, Hound.com was launched as a free job search website that lists openings found from employers’ career pages.
In 2008, Hound.com converted to a pay-for-performance (PFP) model, in which users pay a membership fee for access to its jobs data. Hound ceases to rely on employer-based advertising on its website.
Awards
In 2009, PC Magazine included Hound in its list of the Top 20 Best Job Sites. Hound was also included in Top 10 lists compiled by GeekSugar.com and Applicant.com.
Hound.com is used as a resource by job seekers, recruiters, university career services, and government employment offices. Hound partners with many universities to offer free access for job-seeking students, including the University of Southern California; Vanderbilt University; University of California at Riverside; California State University, Los Angeles; Ohio University; University of Cincinnati, University of North Carolina, and the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford.
