What it does:
It's a job board website that provides free resources for college students and graduates about internships, career and educational opportunities, as well as resume and career evaluations. The site also serves as a venue for employers to search for potential job applicants.

Why it's growing:
In 2004, the company added new products and candidate-friendly software. The company has also found new ways to advertise its site to job seekers by creating several collegerecruiter.com Facebook applications and even a Youtube channel with more than 350 career-related videos.

What's noteworthy:
President Steven Rothberg founded the company by selling ad space on free university maps and employment magazines for students. As the Internet developed, Rothberg created the website and eventually eliminated company overhead by getting rid of the magazines and maps.
