MedReps Losing Members To GorillaMed

MedReps is losing its predominant status amongst healthcare sales job boards to innovative GorillaMed

Jan. 20, 2013 - PRLog -- Since its inception during the late 1990s, MedReps has enjoyed being the unchallenged and dominant online job board specializing in healthcare sales positions.  While that site currently holds a decreasing majority of subscribers, an innovative new player, GorillaMed has been rapidly gaining members and market share from its stodgy competitor.

GorillaMed Founder Steve Dill Comments on their Emergence and Explosive Growth

"Since I had spent over 25 years in the medical device industry as a senior executive, and later founded a very successful medical sales search firm, I wanted to create a niche job board from a candidate-centric point-of-view, where highly successful sales representatives could find the elite medical sales jobs that were of interest to them."

Dill built his visionary site slowly over his initial two years, always asking his candidate members along the way for suggestions on improving the site to be the best-of-breed within the industry.  That approach has worked wonders, as GorillaMed membership began soaring in early 2009, and has not stopped, enjoying annual membership growth which has more than doubled each year since.

"As we continue to deliver a superior service to our users we keep capturing greater market share with geometric growth, while MedReps is rapidly and proportionately losing members.  They have taken notice, and are actively marketing against our site on a continuing basis, even placing a video online of an employee/actor dressed in a "gorilla suit", alleging that MedReps is still a better site, with more jobs posted than GorillaMed."

However, as the confident Dill states, "It’s all about the old adage of quality versus quantity.  "While it is true that MedReps can boast of more jobs posted, our members, many of them being former MedReps subscribers, know that GorillaMed offers fewer straight-commissioned jobs and more of the direct sales jobs (complete with salaries, commissions, and benefits) which they are seeking."  The vast majority of individuals looking for a medical sales job want to work directly for a company, and are not interested in wading through a quagmire of straight-commissioned jobs to find those of interest to them.  GorillaMed features more of the type of jobs desired by job-seekers in the healthcare sales industry”.

But the difference between these two industry leaders does not end there.  In 2010, GorillaMed introduced its proprietary SMART SEARCH functionality.  This cutting edge technology allows GorillaMed to capture newly-open medical sales opportunities as soon as they become available; giving their members a significant edge in applying for these jobs.  As Dill states "Many companies and recruiters become so inundated with resumes for a given opening, that they essentially close down the process after the first few days a job becomes open.  Therefore, candidates who submit resumes early in the process gain a tremendous advantage"

A further GorillaMed enhancement in 2011 was the capability of members to upload their resume into the sites' searchable database, where recruiters and companies can find candidates of interest by experience level and/or location.  While MedReps continues to charge steep fees to recruiters and companies for the privilege to search their site resume database, GorillaMed offers this option as a free service to its recruiters and companies.  Once again, this advantage benefits its members.

"We continue to add exciting functionality to our job board to assist our members in finding the right medical sales job to fit their desires.  In fact, we will be adding another new feature in early 2013 which will set us apart from any other site in helping our members to market themselves to prospective companies and recruiters," states Dill. When asked to elaborate Mr. Dill said, “We are in the final testing stages and it may change the landscape of the industry.”

Dill has ambitious and innovative goals for his site. Being the first and only serious challenger in its space; GorillaMed’s explosive growth is on track to surpass MedReps in total number of members in the near future.  "We are totally focused on being the best option for our candidate members and will not stop enhancing their experience on our site until we are the undisputed best choice."

GorillaMed’s continual accelerating growth tells the tale, and it seems likely that there will be a new "King of the Jungle" very soon!
