CareerBuilder.com Rated No. 1 For Helping Seekers Find Jobs
Job Search and E-mail Alert Tools Also Get Top Rating in Comprehensive Review by the Authors of CareerXroads
RESTON, Va., June 25 /PRNewswire/ -- CareerBuilder(R) is the No. 1 ranked
career site for helping candidates find jobs, according to a comprehensive
report released today by the authors of CareerXroads 2001, a leading directory
of job, resume and career management tools on the Web. The report, Career
Hubs: What Makes Them Tick?, is available on http://www.careerxoads.com and at
CareerBuilder's booth at the Society for Human Resource Management Conference
& Exposition in San Francisco.
"Finding a job with CareerBuilder is as easy as it gets," according to the
review of the top players in the online recruitment industry -- including
CareerBuilder, Headhunter, HotJobs and Monster. The report highlights that
careerbuilder.com's Quick Search(TM) and Mega Job Search(TM) technologies
"extend the site's capabilities beyond its competitors." CareerBuilder's Mega
Job Search gives job seekers the power to search more than 70 of the best
career sites on the Web.
The review was conducted by Gerry Crispin and Mark Mehler, the
internationally acclaimed authors of CareerXroads and consultants with the MMC
Group. The duo, leading opinion makers on behalf of job seekers and human
resource professionals, is speaking at the SHRM conference on Monday, June 25,
10:45 a.m. and 2 p.m., at San Francisco's Moscone Convention Center.
"The CareerXroads review is great testimony to CareerBuilder's products
and services, especially the most important function of all -- getting people
to the right jobs," said Rob McGovern, chairman and CEO of CareerBuilder.
"Every day, more and more job seekers are turning to CareerBuilder to find the
right job."
CareerBuilder is also ranked No. 1 in the report for features allowing job
seekers to receive daily or weekly e-mail notification on jobs of interest.
"In a marketplace that is being revolutionized by today's active and silent
job seekers, CareerBuilder provides the online recruitment industry's most
helpful and comprehensive Personal Search Agent(TM) service," McGovern said.
Through my careerbuilder(TM), job seekers can establish as many as
five different Personal Search Agents (PSAs) built around job interests,
locations and site combinations.
CareerBuilder and Monster.com ranked tops for first impressions. "Both
Monster and CareerBuilder engage the visitor and move them to take actions,"
according to the CareerXroads review. "CareerBuilder is designed to flow
more logically..." Overall, the report said, "Monster.com and CareerBuilder
represent greater ability to provide a broader range of content and service to
the job seeker."
"Clearly, the market has evolved into a two-horse race between
CareerBuilder and Monster," McGovern said. "We believe this signals the
beginning of the end for many of the next-tier players."
In other recent online recruitment reviews, CareerBuilder received the top
rating in an independent analysis conducted by TechTV and received top mention
in Forbes.
