FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MINNEAPOLIS-January 3, 2006-While there are millions of blogs, very few are
written by one of the principals behind a premium job board, and even fewer
are written by one of the principals behind a premium job board that is
primarily used by job-hunting college students, recent graduates, and the
employers who want to hire them. Out of the three categories that
CollegeRecruiter.com was nominated for, the Minneapolis based company,
recently won two
Recruiting.com Best Blog Awards-a very high honor marking
excellence, creativity, and resourcefulness-- in the recent
Recruiting.com
competition.
For the category "Best Recruiting Advice Blog", out of 571 respondents, 119
(20.8 percent) voted for the
CollegeRecruiter.com Blog, and for the "Best Human Resources
Blog" category, 149 of the 488 respondents (30.5 percent) voted for the
CollegeRecruiter.com Blog. The
CollegeRecruiter.com Insights by Candidates
Blog, which was launched only a
few days before the start of voting was a runner up for the "Best Job Seeker
Blog Award". This was also an superb achievement given the age of the new
blog.
Steven Rothberg, President and Founder of CollegeRecruiter.com, credits winning the Best Blog Awards to
his unique ability to write from the perspective of both job seekers and
employers. According to Rothberg, "Most blog writers in the recruiting space
are third party recruiters (headhunters) and corporate recruiters. In both
cases, they tend to write from the perspective of the employer and that's
fine. There are also blogs written by jobseekers, and they tend to write
from their perspective. But there aren't too many blogs written by
principals of job boards, which is too bad because we're able to write from
both perspectives." The CollegeRecruiter.com Blog is not about fulfilling
journalistic fantasies. It's about putting a face to the organization, and
improving their site visitors' ability to interact with the principals.
"The contest wasn't all about winners and losers," said Jason Davis of
Recruiting.com. "It was an effort to recognize the organizations which
thrive on sharing their expertise and knowledge. The writers of these blogs
understand that they're building a community and learning as they go."
As the highest trafficked site used by job hunting college students and
recent graduates and the employers who want to hire them,
CollegeRecruiter.com truly understands how important it is to build a sense
of community. Since the induction of the
CollegeRecruiter.com Blog on
September 14, 2005, Rothberg has added well over 100 entries. The 5,000,000
visitors per month to CollegeRecruiter.com are able to read and learn from
the entries and even post their own comments to the entries. Just like its
podcasts and existing library of over 3,500 content rich pages of articles
and Ask the Experts questions and answers, CollegeRecruiter.com charges no
fee for full access to its already fast growing, insightful collection of
blog articles.
"The boat doesn't anchor here, the
CollegeRecruiter.com Blog will keep
sailing into new waters, and identifying new opportunities," said Rothberg.
"Those who create blogs, are just as much early pioneers as those who were
creating websites in 1996." Early in 2006, Rothberg plans to make his blogs
far more visible to the average visitor and for the blogs to play a central
role in distinguishing the CollegeRecruiter.com site from those of its
competitors.
