Standout Jobs announced in May that they had been acquired but at the time they didn't name their suitor.

Recruiting community site ERE blogged today that Standout Jobs was acquired by Vancouver's Talent Technology. Talent Technology issued a press release saying it bought Standout Jobs as well as TalentSpring.

“These are very exciting times for Talent Technology and our customers,” said Tim Lang, VP Product Strategy, Talent Technology Corporation, “TalentSpring and Standout Jobs are great leading-edge social media and internet recruiting solutions that complement our current products. We are drawing on the richness of each of these respective technologies to increase and improve the resources and solution offerings available to our customers today while setting the stage for some exciting game-changing developments for our customers and partners starting this quarter!”

Former Standout Jobs CEO Ben Yoskovitz wrote a refreshingly honest post-mortem on his startup experience and it's worth a read.
