The Come Recommended team is pleased to announce our charity of choice: JobAngels. In keeping with our mission of connecting candidates with employers, JobAngels is an online community where each person has the same goal: to help just one person find employment. 

JobAngels began in response to the economic downturn and the difficulty people were having finding jobs. Founder Mark Stelzner believes that if everyone helps just one person find a job, a major dent would be made in the number of unemployed Americans. Although this grassroots movement began just a few months ago, there are now more than 20,000 JobAngels across the country. Through social networking tools such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, more than 650,000 JobAngels messages have been sent. The members of JobAngels all share the same core characteristics: they are innovative and passionate about developing a new generation of meaningful and results-oriented talent networking.

Getting a job (or internship) is more difficult these days, and helping one another is incredibly important. Check out JobAngels at www.jobangels.org or follow them on Twitter.
