Alumwire is a social networking job site who are targeting fresh college graduates and also targeting seasoned professionals through the alumni networks. The site has been creating some hype and have been featured on CNet too.

The site has integrated with facebook and also features Video’s (Video Resumes) and social networking without doubt! The service began at Harvard University and over 1000 US colleges are supported now. Employer can use the network too for recruiting, and students can use it to connect professionally and get their dream jobs

The concept sounds very similar to Jobster and I for sure think that the alumni concept could work for Alumwire. As of now, Alumwire’s Co-Founders have already been named “Top 25 American Entrepreneurs Under 25″.
