实习与求职平台LookSharp收购Readyforce
LookSharp现已收购了Readyforce，这笔交易的财务条款目前不详。LookSharp是一家提供求职信息的创业公司，旗下运作有InternMatch平台；Readyforce则是一个针对大学生和应届毕业生的专业网络。
自2010年创立以来，Readyforce已经筹集到超过1200万美元的资金，投资方包括Menlo Ventures、First Round Capital和U.S. Ventures。LookSharp的公司名称之前就是InternMatch，后来才开始为雇主和学生推出更多的服务。到目前为止，该公司的融资总额为780万美元，投资方包括ARTIS Ventures、Rudy Gadre、500 Startups、Kapor Capital、Subtraction Capital和Vishal Makhijani等公司。
LookSharp表示，这次收购将会用来充实它的实习、初级职位和内容数据库，以便更好地帮助学生们找到第一份工作。
两家公司合并后还将有利于双方在一个碎片化市场更好地竞争。LookSharp面临着众多竞争者，比如CareerBuilder、Monster、Dice和Indeed，该公司的差异化经营方式就是：让雇主在工作、福利和公司文化方面提供更多的信息，以便找到最好的潜在求职者，而不是被数以百计的工作申请所淹没。与LookSharp合作的企业既有众多创业公司，也有Facebook、亚马逊、嘉信理财（Charles Schwab）、迪斯尼和波音这样的知名企业集团。
另一方面，Readyforce主要针对计算机科学和工程专业的学生提供服务。今年9月份，该公司推出了一个称为“探寻你的选择”（Explore Your Options）的工具，有了这个工具，已有录用通知的学生们在接受这份工作之前，还有机会看一看其他的工作机会。
LookSharp表示，自2011年创立以来，该公司每年用户增长速度都超过500%，现在其平台上有3万个雇主和1000万名学生。
LookSharp, An Internship And Job Listings Platform, Acquires Readyforce
LookSharp, a startup that offers job listings and operates InternMatch, has acquired Readyforce, a professional network for college students and new graduates. The deal’s financial terms were undisclosed.
Since launching in 2010, Readyforce has raised more than $12 million in funding from investors including Menlo Ventures, First Round Capital and U.S. Ventures. LookSharp, which was formerly known as just InternMatch before it began to roll out more services for employers and students, has raised a total of $7.8 million from ARTIS Ventures, Rudy Gadre, 500 Startups, Kapor Capital, Subtraction Capital and Vishal Makhijani.
LookSharp says the acquisition will allow it to grow its database of internships, entry-level positions, and content geared toward helping students looking for their first jobs.
Combining forces will also help the two companies better compete in a fragmented marketplace. LookSharp seeks to differentiate from rivals like CareerBuilder, Monster, Dice and Indeed by allowing employers to offer more information about their jobs, benefits and company culture, in hopes of finding the best prospective candidates instead of getting flooded with hundreds of applications. Companies that list on LookSharp include startups, as well as corporations including Facebook, Amazon, Charles Schwab, Disney and Boeing.
Readyforce, on the other hand, focuses mainly on computer science and engineering students. In September, the company launched a tool called “Explore Your Options,” which lets students who have already received offers see what other opportunities are out there before accepting a job.
Since launching in 2011, LookSharp says it has grown more than 500 percent year-over-year and now has 30,000 employers and 10 million students on its platform.

任仕达（Randstad）欲收购松下旗下人才服务子公司 大举拓展日本市场
//
据rtlnieuws.nl最新消息，荷兰金融服务公司Kepler Cheuvreax称，种种迹象显示，全球人力资源巨头任仕达对于日本电子巨头松下旗下人才服务子公司Panasonic Excel Staff Co.的投标已经进入第二轮阶段。Kepler Cheuvreax声称，可以想见，如果任仕达完成了此项收购的话，其营收将上涨2.5%，而且该公司在日本的市场份额将扩大一倍之多。不仅如此，任仕达也将成为日本市场的第五大人力资源服务供应商。
据悉，日本电子巨头松下于今年7月对外宣称计划通过竞标出售其下人才服务子公司，最终获得竞标的买方将于2015年3月底公布。日本人才服务市场是全球范围内仅次于美国的第二大市场，目前正处于一个过渡阶段。而日本市场公认的最大的人才服务公司Recruit Holdings的上市举措与日本劳动力人口萎缩以及发展缓慢的经济都会对日本的劳动力市场产生巨大影响。
Randstad reportedly bidding for Panasonic’s staffing subsidiary
(Sep. 30, 2014,/ rtlnieuws.nl /) There are indications that Randstad has entered into the second round of bidding for Panasonic Excel StaffCo., the staffing subsidiary of electronics giant Panasonic, according to Dutch financial services company Kepler Cheuvreax, reports rtlnieuws.nl. According to Kepler Cheuvreax,Randstad could conceivably increase its group revenue by +2.5% and double itsmarket share in Japan with the acquisition of Panasonic Excel. Panasonicannounced in July that is was looking to sell its staffing subsidiary through abidding process, with the final buyer selected by the end of March 2015. Kepler Cheuvreax predicts that, following a successful bid, Randstad could become the fifth largest staffing firm in the Japanese market.
The Japanese staffing market, the second largest in the world after the United States, is currently in a period of transition. The listing of the market’s largest staffing firm, Recruit Holdings, the shrinking working-age population,and the country’s stagnant economy are making, and will continue to make, a significant impact on the labour market.
