Posted on by Jay

Now iPhone 5 has been launched and available for sale, people swarm to the Apple Stores all over to buy this new iPhone. There is also Samsung Galaxy S3 which was launched recently in May 2012 and available at most of the Smartphone vendors. So which one are you choosing? Apple has witnessed doubled pre-orders for its new iPhone after the launch although critics don’t think Apple came up with a revolutionary iPhone as expected. Rather they praise the Galaxy S3 which has some improved features as compared to iPhone 5. So let’s make a comparison between the two and you judge.

Here you go:

Processor And Memory:

Galaxy S3:

1.4 GHz Quad core Exynos processor; 16/32 GB, extendible to 64GB

iPhone 5:

A6 dual-core processor- clocked with 1GHz;  16/32/64 GB

P.S: iPhone 5 screens looks pretty big with quality media playback and gaming. Apple once stated that its iPhone size is the standard size for a Smartphone. But later proved wrong by companies like Samsung and HTC, Apple itself increased the size of its iPhone.

Size and Weight:

Galaxy S3:

4.69 ounces(133 grams); 8.6 mm thick

20 grams lighter weighing 3.95 ounces (112 grams); 7.6 mm thick

KurrentJobs.com – A Better Choice for Technical Recruiters

Posted on by Jay

The Start-up trend is rising in the webosphere. Inspired from companies like Facebook, Foursquare and Instagram, many people are willing to implement their ideas as start-ups. As your start-up company grows you need right people to do your jobs and that’s what most of the recruiters are tired about. There are many information technology job portals on the web featuring start-up jobs, but they still got hung around with some loop holes. We had gone through some start-up job posting sites in the past few months and found that:

Most of the job sites-

  •     Ask for registration by filling out long forms, we bet, you shy away from this!
  •     Limited to major countries (like UK, USA etc.)
  •     Confused over jobs, news, companies and widgets
  •     Limited or no free job posting allowed (some charges between 99 to 400 USD per job)
  •     Don’t come up with job types
  •     Don’t support social login with Facebook or Twitter
  •     Somewhat biased to either employers or candidates

“KurrentJobs.com runs where others can’t walk”

Yes! After finding these we developed KurrentJobs.com, a technical job board where we tried to mend all the loop holes. KurrentJobs.com is an ideal free job posting site for technical recruiters and this doesn’t mean we forgot the applicants. See how KurrentJobs.com can help both Recruiters and Applicants,

Facebook Login Support: Clients no more have to go through filling up forms for registration. Just login through your Facebook account and start posting jobs.

Easy Job Posting: We bet you can complete your job posting in less than sixty seconds, which would be taking 2-3 minutes in other websites.

What’s Your Job Type: You can post job types as per your requirements among Full-time, Freelance, Internship and Contractual. Its actually beneficial for both employer and applicants.

Apply through LinkedIn:Applicants feel the same about form filling as the recruiters. So we allow applicants to apply for jobs by logging into their LinkedIn profile.

Lightweight ATS:We’ve made the application tracking system simple in kurentJobs.com.

With all of these features and more, KurrentJobs.com is surely a better choice for start-up jobs and companies. So do you think it can help you too. Why not give it a try?
