History


Short Task's history dates back to 2001, when our parent company, Career Mission, began venturing into the job board business. Career Mission's first job site, LawCrossing, was launched in 2003. Today, Career Mission serves hundreds of thousands of job seekers in every major profession. Career Mission launched Short Task to provide an outlet for workers around the world who may not be seeking the sort of permanent employment our other companies offer job seekers.
