BD4C Licensing Group Formed For Blu-ray Patents

PreVerify LLC (preverify.com) announced the release of its latest patent-pending technology -- the PreVerify Job Board. Like other job boards, prospective employers post job listings. Unlike other job boards, the PreVerify Job Board is free. But the biggest difference is that every job seeker who applies for a job on the PreVerify Job Board, already has a pre-verified employment history. So every single candidate on the PreVerify Job Board is a better candidate -- saving companies time and money. Job seekers benefit by getting the best interviews, first. All of which positions the PreVerify Job Board to compete with established goliaths such as Monster, Career Builder and Craigslist.
