Kuder says that the site, built over one weekend by the Koombea dev team, has grown 100% from, "word of mouth, blogs, Facebook sharing and Twitters — all people helping their friends find jobs." It probably doesn't hurt that it's completely free to list a job or create a profile, and that the launch was timed with the most recent round of Yahoo layoffs.
Purple people (and anyone else) can get their job listings fix by following @purplegigs on Twitter. Job seekers and recruiters alike can also opt to subscribe to RSS feeds for both new jobs or new profiles. Given that the site draws Microsoft level recruiters to post and view Purple People profiles, Kuder recommends that serious job seekers create profiles to get noticed.
