Reuters September 21, 2003	Finding former coworkers made easier ..."The Internet now offers a powerful twist on the old boy's club rule: It's not what you know, but who you know, that puts you ahead in business. With little fanfare, Eliyon, a Cambridge, Massachusetts, company, has in just three years compiled a vast -- and still rapidly growing -- database of 15.7 million profiles of U.S. business people culled from many Internet sources."
The Boston Globe September 8, 2003	Competition fierce for search engines that get to specifics ..."Although general Internet search has become an information industry, smaller companies like Eliyon are quietly building businesses selling more narrowly focused search programs. These young firms are helping people sift through vast amounts of information in ways that Google and other broad-based Web technologies cannot, from customer self-service to legal discovery."
Human Resources Report April 21, 2003	Recruitment Savings Come From Lower Fees, Less Staff Time "'The numbers look good,' said Carl Lopes, vice president of employment of Staples Inc., the Framingham, Mass.-based retailer with 58,000 employees and some $11.5 billion in sales last year. 'We save three-four grand every time we use Eliyon on an executive search.'"
ComputerWorld Canada March 24, 2003	ComputerWorld Canada: Eliyon crawls Web for job candidates "Eliyon's Web crawlers have an uncanny ability to pull together data from various sources, said Mark Ehr, a senior analyst at Enterprise Management Associates in Boulder, Colo...In terms of Web farming, "it does the best job of anything I've seen."
Information Week February 10, 2003	Monster.com Tests Candidate-Search Features "Carl Lopes, VP of employment at office-supplies retail store Staples Inc., has been a customer of Eliyon for more than a year and says Staples has saved thousands of dollars by conducting candidate research in-house. 'We used to pay a number of external research agents $100 per hour to create lists of candidates for us,' he says. 'Now we rarely use research agents.'"
PC WORLD January 31, 2003	Crawling the Web for Job Candidates "Using a natural language processor, the technology can scan pages and decipher complex English sentences...the technology lists people's current job and contact information, education and job experience, by culling Web site bios and other resources. It also includes links to other pages referring to the person, and all the source pages are cached for reference. Eliyon clients can search the databases using a variety of query criteria, including company, title, and biography."
InfoWorld January 30, 2003	Startup crawls Web for executive job candidates "Cambridge, Massachusetts, start-up Eliyon Technologies has a technology that crawls the Web and compiles "profiles" of individuals' work histories, education, expertise and other pertinent information... The company, which was launched in 2001, already has 150 customers, including IBM, Microsoft and AOL Time Warner..."
Mass High Tech January 20, 2003	Software maker sources Monster of an online deal "The profiles include everything from an individual's education and past employer, to memberships or board seats that he or she have. The technology is based on artificial intelligence algorithms that allow Eliyon's system to analyze a Web site and extract information. The system, according to the company, is similar to having a huge staff of researchers working around the clock and collecting data about people and companies."
Selling Power May 15, 2002	Human Contact "Eliyon Technologies recently released a database tool capable of mimicking human analytical abilities. It's a solution that promises to reduce the time salespeople spend sifting through company directories in search of the appropriate contact person."
Tribune Media Services May 12, 2002	Careers Now: References When Company Disappears "If your search fails to yield the results you seek, one Tiffany-quality resource makes the freebies look feeble: Eliyon Technologies (www.eliyon.com)."
BtoB April 24, 2002	Eliyon Launches Prospecting Tool "Eliyon Technologies unveiled a natural-language database tool that tracks the movement of business people by job association. The company said the technology can be used in recruitment, sales and research."
Jobmachine April 15, 2002	Your Own Executive Search "In fact, Eliyon's single major advantage over competitors like Hoover's and Onesource is lack of discrimination. Where most other sources focus on profiling only executive leaders, Eliyon will help identify anyone even mentioned on the Web in any context, regardless of their professional level or achievement."
Smart Business Magazine March, 2002	Beat the Competition Every Time - Foolproof technologies for getting ahead "Headhunters have their place. But they're almost always a hefty line item in your budget. The next time you're looking for executive-level talent, or people with very specialized skills, skip the call to a headhunter and check Eliyon."
Jobmachine March 1, 2002	Reinventing Recruiting "If you don't mind paying a few cents per lead, InfoUSA.com is inexpensive and worthwhile. Pay much more and you have continuous access to 7 million potential candidate profiles from www.eliyon.com...."
Electronic Recruiting News January 7, 2002	Flipping "Resources like ITTA, Eliyon or the various corporate guides (Corptech) are an invaluable part of the proactive recruiter's toolkit. While they are no substitute for advance planning and relationship development, they are good tools for recruiters who work in environments that suffer from undercapitalization. In that world, the law of the jungle is "We can recruit for you or from you, you pick." Given the sorry state of investment in Recruiting tools by companies who want human capital on the cheap (and the corresponding limits of the available products), a Recruiter can do far worse than being a subscriber to these services. They may even be desktop necessities."
Recruiting Industry Newswire January 2, 2002	Eliyon Technologies Launches Automated Database Technology "Cambridge, MA-based Eliyon Technologies has launched a web-based service that extracts information about people and companies from published resources on the Internet. The new technology uses natural language processing and artificial intelligence technology to read all press-release sources, SEC filings, more than 12,000 publications and numerous corporate web sites. The information gathered (names, titles, company information, previous employment) is then organized into a searchable database of passive job seekers."
