Adlyfe is a biotechnology company founded in the spring of 2003 to bring to market innovative diagnostic products for neurodegenerative diseases. These diseases are correlated to changes in protein conformation, as normally soluble proteins fold into conformations that aggregate and deposit in brain tissue, a process known as amyloidogenesis. Over time, the accumulation of these misfolded and aggregating proteins results in loss of neural cells and brain tissue, and associated symptoms including dementia, motor dysfunction, and other fatal symptoms.

JobOn enables employers to reduce the time spent finding and hiring hourly staff by 75%. For retail, restaurant and hospitality firms with high turnover, recorded video via webcam or mobile device simplifies the interview and hiring process, and lowers recruitment costs. This happens because the most important part of hiring for these jobs is the interview, so JobOn has reversed the traditional process. Eliminating the paper application in which it's difficult to distinguish applicants, JobOn essentially puts the interview first and helps managers make better, faster decisions about who to bring in for a face-to-face interview and who to hire. No longer do walk-in applicants compete with customers for a manager's attention, nor do seekers have to fill out multiple applications all over town. Now it's a matter of borrowing the speed dating concept and applying it online to potential employees and hiring managers.
