eHarmony’s Elevated Careers Would Contribute 60% Of The Revenue

Posted on September 1, 2015

Eharmony elevated careersREUTERS – Aug 31 – With surveys showing 70% of Americans are unhappy with their jobs, Neil Clark Warren thinks that matching personalities can work in the recruitment industry. "Nobody has really matched personalities in terms of the applicant and the supervisor. That's not something that LinkedIn or Monster do," Warren said, explaining eHarmony's plans to get into the employment industry. eHarmony plans to launch its recruitment service – Elevated Careers – in 2016, and expects the business to contribute ~60% of the company's revenue within three years. eHarmony expects revenue to be between $275M and $350M this year.

Ashleymadison logo new apr 2010TECH CRUNCH – Aug 31 – That’s hard to believe, given that the leaked emails also revealed the company paid people to create fake profiles. In addition, Avid Life Media states that Ashley Madison's user base is growing, following the hack. Hundreds of thousands of new users signed up in the past week, including 87K women, the company says.

The Fembots Of Ashley Madison

Posted on September 1, 2015

FembotsGIZMODO – Aug 27 – According to Ashley Madison's internal emails, the company was actively paying people to create fake profiles. The company even had a shorthand for these fake profiles—"angels." On June 27, 2013, in an email thread with the subject line "how angels are made," Noel Biderman scolded some of his employees for failing to create a decent automated process for making angels. Is it possible that Biderman built a site hoping to attract women, but failed miserably, then tried to hide that fact by creating all those fake profiles? All the ads are aimed at men and it is not that easy to create an account on Ashley Madison if you're a woman.
