VentureBeat Job Board relaunches – check out these coupons, prizes and referral rewards

I’m delighted to announce the relaunch of our VentureBeat Job Board.

Lots of people are looking for jobs right now, and there are plenty of Silicon Valley companies looking to hire.

So we’re looking to serve our readership with a specialized job board targeted at them. The job board now features a better selection of relevant technology, business development and marketing jobs, useful new features, and more flexible posting options. We’ll be looking to make it even better over time.

Notably, we’re returning to partner with JobThread, which was one of our earliest partners when we we launched our job board in 2007. In those days, JobThread was still a small startup, and we turned from them to partner with several other different companies that made outlandish promises to deliver us more revenue if we switched. When we did, they each failed to deliver. So now we’re returning back to JobThread, which has continued to grow and innovate.

If you’re an employer, here’s a way to get your 2010 hiring off to a great start: We’re offering a 50 percent-off coupon good through Jan. 31, 2010. You can also send the coupon code to your HR department, which will love you forever for it. You have your choice of 50 percent-off to the VentureBeat Job Board or 50 percent off JobThread Network postings. The JobThread Network has a price that is a tad higher, but it includes VentureBeat, paidContent, The Business Insider, ReadWriteWeb, Marketing Pilgrim, Social Media Jobs, Wired, Ajaxian, Computerworld, CIO.com, Zend, PHPJobs.com, Linux Magazine and dozens of other publishers in technology, digital media, green/environmental and more. The network allows you to reach multiple targeted sites including VentureBeat with a single Pay-for-Performance posting.

If you want to be up to date on the latest jobs, be sure to sign up for an email job alert or subscribe to the RSS feed. You can also get a custom RSS feed after searching.

Even if you’re not in the market for a new job you can make some extra dough and help your friends out by sending them jobs with Referral Rewards. If your friend (or their friend) gets hired you get your cut of the referral reward — up to $1,000 or more! You can even subscribe to an email job alert that only sends you jobs that have referral rewards.

And if all that wasn’t enough, anyone that signs up for an email job alert or sends a job to a friend between now and January 1st will be automatically entered to win a $150 NewEgg gift card.
