Houston, We Have Liftoff!
Jobyssey.com is live! As of this week, Jobyssey is available in a public beta version for software and IT workers and employers in the Republic of Ireland. What this means for you:
- Looking for a new software/IT job? If you take a few minutes to build out your profile on Jobyssey, you’ll be automatically shown jobs that fit you. As employers add new jobs that suit you, they’ll see your anonymous profile and be able to email you an interview invite. As always, no agencies, and your name and contact details remain hidden until you agree to interview.
- Looking for new software/IT staff? If you’re a direct employer of technical staff, we’re setting up trial accounts to let the you see what we’re all about. You’ll get several months of free job postings, and lots of individualized help setting up your profile. Pop over to www.jobyssey.com/IT-employers.php and drop us an email if you’d like us to send you some further details.
We’re really excited to have the site up and going- we’ll post updates as we go through the beta process and as we roll out new modules.

Jobyssey Beta Launch Rescheduled for May 15, 2008
Jobyssey is joining the long, long list of software companies that have put off a beta or ship date and rescheduling our beta test launch for May 15, 2008. As we’ve been working through the development process we’re finding features that we feel we really need to have, and we’d rather push the release back by a month than put those features off to a later release. The database is in good shape, but we’re going to be using the next month to tune up these features:
- A complete applicant tracking process that records which jobs you’ve applied for and where you are in the application process;
- Improved searching logic to show you “almost match” jobs as well as perfect fits
- Improved CV parsing logic to automatically find as much info on your CV as possible (and save you typing in your search criteria)
Stay tuned for updates- we’re a bit snowed under at the moment hammering out exactly how the new features are going to work, but we’ll be posting about our progress as we get closer to completion.

Cloud Computing comes to Ireland
“Cloud computing” seems to be that new phrase you suddenly start hearing everywhere. First, we heard Ray Ozzie talk about it as part of Microsoft’s new business model in the Mix08 keynote address. Now we’re hearing about the new cloud computing center IBM will be opening in Ireland (via Silicon Republic and IBM).
To be honest, at first I was kind of confused as to exactly what cloud computing was all about, but luckily HowStuffWorks shed some light on that (as an aside, the power requirements of the main Google facility are pretty awesome in the Biblical sense).

Postcodes coming to Ireland?
Eirepreneur says that Garmin Satnav will be creating its’ own system of Irish postcodes for ROI from the end of March on. You’ll be able to visit www.irishpostcodes.ie to get a code, and you can see more detail here. There are some sample codes up there- they will be 7 character (letter and number) geographically based codes.
Hopefully Google support will be added soon- we’d love for Jobyssey to have a location search feature (always important in Dublin), but without postcodes it was pretty much impossible to get a good result.

Incubator Partnership with the US
The Dublin Business Innovation Centre is partnering with the Emerging Technology Center in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, to assist small businesses in opening offices overseas (see an article in the Baltimore Business Journal here). On this side of the pond, the DBIC runs the Guinness Enterprise Centre to provide office space for start-ups, and offers a variety of advisory services too. The collaboration will allow members access to overseas advisory groups to assist in the move.
