For CornerJob, which in less than three years of life has already achieved leadership positions in the mobile recruitment sector in Italy, Spain, and Mexico, it means receiving a new launch pad for even more ambitious goals and further horizons”. Rodriguez assured.
Exclusively for Marketing4eCommerce, David Rodríguez told us a little about his recognition at the Digital Top 50 Awards and what it means for CornerJob.
– What motivated you to present yourselves?
We have been born as an international company from day one with co-founders of 3 nationalities, and this award is intended to reward innovative European companies. We fit perfectly.
– Why that section and not another?
The organizers were the one who decided the category where we competed. They explained to us that after 18 months of existence, a startup will become a scaleup for them. They put us in the B2B category because our economic model is based on the company part. We do not bill candidates for anything.
– How does it feel to be the only Spanish startup among finalists and winners?
We are very grateful, and the whole team feels it as a reward for the work produced these 2 and a half years. Also, comes a year after the Tech5 award from The Next Web conference where we were also the only Spanish company to be a finalist in Amsterdam with other European companies.
