CHICAGO, Sept. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- CareerBuilder, the industry's most complete recruitment source for efficiently finding better candidates and jobs, today announced its new national advertising campaign, "be one," to boost job seeker traffic and build brand awareness. Debuting today, the $15 million CareerBuilder campaign will run for three months and includes a blend of TV, out-of-home, radio advertising and interactive. In their respective markets, Tribune Company and Knight Ridder will also supplement the media buy with additional in-kind print advertising. The total campaign will penetrate 39 markets with targeted focus in 15 major cities including Boston, Chicago, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Detroit, San Francisco/San Jose and Washington, D.C.

As a serious job resource, we at CareerBuilder.com are providing the poised job seeker with smarter time-saving and confidentiality tools to better target and manage their job search."

Being a "CareerBuilder" means being smarter about the way you manage your job search.

CareerBuilder's "be one" targets job candidates on the move through out- of-home advertising on billboards located in high profile areas such as airports, subways, commuter rail and bus shelters. The radio component of the campaign will be heard on the top radio stations in 15 markets.
