The Venture Café Rotterdam] Foundation is a part of the Global Venture Café Foundation. The organization was founded in 2010, in the Boston Cambridge Innovation Center (CIC) and is an independent non-profit organization. Venture Café Rotterdam is the first European expansion. Other several Venture Cafés are located in Boston, St. Louis, Miami, and Winston-Salem. In 2018, the movement will expand to Philadelphia (USA), Warsaw (Poland) and Tokyo (Japan), and with more exciting locations in the pipeline.
Challenges
Venture Cafe’s main activities take place during their weekly network event on Thursdays. However, they were seeking ways to extend their reach so they went to search for an online solution. They asked Lizard Global to develop a talent portal with the goal to connect candidates with companies that are looking for new talent by sharing job offers and allow candidates to search for them in an interactive manner.
Solution
Together with Venture Café, Lizard Global developed a web application through which companies can place vacancies for free, which can be found by talents looking for a job. The mobile and desktop application allow employers to efficiently upload job offers and lets job seekers search and select jobs that fit their desired description.
