STERLING, Va., Nov. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Capango, a mobile-first retail job matching platform that connects job seekers to rewarding opportunities without resumes, today announced they were selected as a DC Inno 2018 "50 on Fire" winner in the technology and cybersecurity category. Launched this past July, Capango has already secured its position as one of the most innovative companies in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region.
"We are thrilled to accept DC Inno's "50 on Fire" award for innovation and success in the technology and cybersecurity category," said Stefan Midford, CEO and founder of Capango. "In today's tight labor market, retailers are under tremendous pressure to find qualified hourly workers, and with the busy holiday shopping season right around the corner, they have to be able to respond to applicants quickly in order to hire top talent. Capango's innovative platform streamlines the hiring process, enabling employers to find and hire the right candidate fast."
In 2018 alone, Capango achieved significant accomplishments and milestones, setting them apart from other tech startups in Washington, D.C. Through a recently established partnership with Shop!, a retail association that has more than 350,000 job seekers and 2,000 companies in its network, Capango transferred thousands of available job positions to its app. Capango also recently partnered with 3Pillar Global, a global software and digital product development company, to create the flagship job-matching mobile app under the same name for the retail sector. With the help of 3Pillar Global, the app's proprietary algorithm uses machine learning to match qualified job seekers with opportunities that suit their powers and passions. 3Pillar's partnership with Capango has yielded a product intended to revolutionize retail hiring.
The annual "50 on Fire" award identifies the hottest companies, organizations and people heating up D.C.'s innovation economy across six categories. To further commemorate D.C.'s biggest game changers, from established leaders to up-and-comers, winners will be celebrated at the annual "50 on Fire" event on November 15, 2018 at the National Union Building.
