The Necessity Of Professional References

During the application process for any job it is more than likely that the hiring manager will want references to verify you have held the previous employments you have stated and to get an idea of how you are as an employee. This is a very important stage for the hiring manager as it provides them with the added information they need to make informed decisions and ultimately hire the right person for the right job.

Company:: JobPad

About Me:: Gopal Vemuri is president, chief executive officer and founder of JobPad, based in North Brunswick, N.J. Vemuri formed the company in August 2009 to serve an unmet market need among job seekers, outplacement agencies and others within the human resources and talent management profession. JobPad is an online job-search management tool, a virtual desktop for job seekers and career counseling professionals. Vemuri and team created JobPad to be simply a virtual “job pad” where job seekers can have a “full-throttle focus” on finding the job they need vs. wasting hours on various job boards, writing and re-writing letters and resumes, and trying to remember what jobs they applied for, and when. The result: JobPad Inc. and JobPad the online job pad for job seekers. That was August 2009.
Vemuri formed the company to solve the job-search blues he’d heard from many of his friends and colleagues. Once unemployed, they have no idea how to get started, what to do, where to go, or how to get organized. JobPad is the online version of “get organized, get going, get a job,” said Vemuri.
Today, the company employs 12 personnel, mostly in research and product development. Vemuri and his team completed its application development of JobPad in December 2010. The core of JobPad’s job-search management prowess is JobClipper, a tool that “auto clips” every submitted job application made by a job seeker. Once it’s “clipped,” the application can be filed and found in seconds since everything is centralized in JobPad.
Before starting JobPad, Vemuri spent 15 years in the technology industry. He served in various senior positions that included global product development, product marketing and customer support. He worked at HSBC as part of its Global Business Systems team, and worked with Business Evolution Inc., a provider of Web-based customer-assistance software. The company was acquired by Kana Software in 1999.
In addition, Vemuri is an active board member of the Concept Venture Group, a holding company that owns Addict juice bars, a retail concept that introduces Indian consumers to nutritional “fast food” and convenience. He’s also a serial entrepreneur—and investor—in several interests, including being an investor and mentor of FullOrissa.com, a number one portal for “Oriya” speaking people worldwide.
