Half a million dollars in two months to launch social business network for4job and continue on the projects already announced as a “digital citadel” in the heart of Sicily. Alessio Romeo, founder of the Face4Job job search platform, explains the launch of the global crowdfunding campaign that kicks off today on Indiegogo. The collection target is set at around 500 thousand dollars, which expires on May 10. But the novelty, revealed a preview of Romeo al Sole 24 Ore, is that the company has already collected statements of commitment sufficient to cover companies and investors “within a week,” the entire target value. Any surplus, explains Romeo, will be divided and given to social responsibility projects. The lenders will come mainly from Partinico, the town in the province of Palermo where Romeo has grown and is committed to return with a new office of Face4Job (although that will remain legal in Umbria).

In practice, the recruiting enters the digital community and chooses the candidates depending on the results, “Romeo said.
One pole of 1000 employees in the province of Palermo
And the “digital citadel”? Romeo says that it will be a Technological Pole Innovative, with an induced direct than 100 employees. At least 500 will be allocated to the 4forjob offices, looking for resources for the platform services. The opening is scheduled in 2017, after the presentation of the business plan set for this June.
The space will be open for different applications, from coworking offices in a digital scientific research center. The venue will be in Partinico, in contact with companies and university centers of Sicily. Among the prospects is the creation of an incubator, more stimulus for the attraction of talent in the region and foreign capital. “For me it means to come home after 17 years.”
