Amidst all the uber-depressing news of firings, layoffs, and the ubiquitous "downsizing," there are still many companies hiring staff. Really. One company in the Bay Area that plans to hire up to 100 new workers is QuinStreet, a leader in online vertical marketing.
Most of the new jobs will be in marketing and engineering, according to CEO Doug Valenti. Note: Valenti is a former venture capitalist, so this company knows how to raise money.
QuinStreet has been profitable almost from the day they opened in 1999. They even made money during the Dot Bomb days. Revenues this year are projected to be in the neighborhood of $300 million (up from $1.5 million in 2001). Net profit is estimated at 7%.
The company's website is www.QuinStreet.com.
QuinStreet is located in Foster City, a few miles south of San Francisco.
When you're looking for a job, you're also looking for a company. In a tight job market, like the one we're currently experiencing, it can be tempting to take any job offered. Try to resist the impulse to see only the job and envision your long-term viability at the company too.
