Announcing Coroflot Version 5: Share the Likey

V5-mosaic3.jpg

Since its establishment in 1998 as the Core77 Job Board, the site now known as Coroflot.com has gone through several rounds of changes. These expansions and updates have all been directed toward providing our readers–the global network of creative professionals–with the most useful and flexible set of tools possible, for posting their work, staying current, and finding new employment.

Ten years on, with web-based portfolios and job searches the norm rather than a curiosity, the focus in finding and communicating creative talent has shifted to the task of creative community-building. Fortunately, this is something we know all about: Core77 and Coroflot together comprise a vibrant, engaged network of employers, students and professionals several hundred thousand strong, that’s growing faster every day, and the newest changes at Coroflot aim to use it to full advantage.

To that end, we’re thrilled to announce the release of Coroflot Version 5, retaining the high exposure, diversity, and unlimited posting capacity Coroflot has long boasted, and adding search and networking capabilities unrivaled in the creative portfolio field. Recognizing that 80+% of all creative jobs are discovered through personal networks rather than advertisement, enabling Coroflot’s job-seekers and employers to expand these networks is the most effective way to serve their needs. Where previous incarnations of Coroflot–and most other portfolio sites–concentrated solely on giving users tools for displaying work, V5 adds multiple ways for designers to get to know each other, developing relationships with their peers, potential hires, and potential employers.
