CHICAGO, July 14, 2003 - CareerBuilder.com, the smarter recruitment resource for finding better candidates and jobs, and Modern Healthcare, the leading source of healthcare news and information, today announced an exclusive marketing partnership through which CareerBuilder.com will power modernhealthcare.com’s Career Center. This partnership gives healthcare professionals access to more than seven million resumes and 400,000 job postings from 25,000 of the nation’s top employers.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 300,000 healthcare jobs were created in the past twelve months. In addition, CareerBuilder.com’s "Men and Women at Work 2003" survey found more than 30 percent of healthcare workers are planning to change jobs this year.

"Healthcare is one of the largest industries in terms of employment opportunities with more than 11 million jobs," said Charles Lauer, publisher of Modern Healthcare. "We wanted to partner with a company that has a strong presence in the healthcare industry and the right online tools to make the most of those opportunities. Our new Career Center powered by CareerBuilder.com will bring value-added services to healthcare employers such as applicant screening and resume database searching by geography and specialty."

"Modern Healthcare is the leading source of healthcare news and information and CareerBuilder.com has more than 77,000 job postings in the area of healthcare alone," said Farhan Yasin, vice president of Business Development for CareerBuilder.com. "With the high number of healthcare professionals planning to make a job change this year, this partnership helps bring new job seekers the latest in healthcare news and career opportunities. Job seekers at modernhealthcare.com’s Career Center can take advantage of personalized job search agents, Spanish-language services, career advice and the ability to search for skilled, hourly and salaried healthcare jobs to reach their next career milestone."
