Groundswell and Jobickle Announce Strategic Partnership

CALGARY, AB – March 2015 – Groundswell Group has announced a strategic partnership with Jobickle, a new and exclusively IT-focused employment network for job seekers and independent consultants.

Through this partnership Jobickle will assist Groundswell in enhancing our footprint in Seattle, Washington, Groundswell’s newest expansion. Working closely with John Krpan, Groundswell’s Director of USA Operations, Jobickle’s role will include recruitment and business development initiatives.

As a founding sponsor, Groundswell champions Jobickle’s mission of raising the bar in IT job search and recruitment and will provide support that enables Jobickle to be offered as a 100% free-to-use resource to the industry.

“To have such a prestigious firm as Groundswell ‘get’ what we’re doing is just awesome,” says Ashley Burns, Jobickle Founder. “The job site model is showing its age. IT recruitment needs something new to truly impact the way we connect with new opportunities. Jobickle can fill the gap, eliminating the need for users to expend large amounts of energy and time dealing with job sites and IT staffing firms.”

“Groundswell supports Jobickle’s innovative approach to finding global talent and believe this initiative will revolutionize the IT recruitment model,” says Darren Sartison, Groundswell President. “We’re pleased to be involved in streamlining the process of finding great people and connecting them to great organizations.”
