BOSTON, May 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Jobmagic announced today it has been selected as a Finalist for Red Herring's Top 100 Americas award, a prestigious list honoring the year's most promising private technology ventures from North America.

The Red Herring editorial team selected the most innovative companies from a pool of hundreds from across the North American business region. The nominees are evaluated on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, quality of management, execution of strategy, and integration into their respective industries.

"This year was very rewarding," said Alex Vieux, publisher and Chairman of Red Herring. "There are so many great companies producing truly innovative and amazing products and technologies. We had a very difficult time narrowing the field and selecting the Finalists from such a group of future stars Jobmagic shows great promise and therefore deserves to be on the short list.
