FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Minneapolis, Minnesota - January 4, 2006 - Many college graduates find themselves "on the bench" for months instead of being able to start their careers immediately after graduation. But it is now easier than ever for you to communicate to career development professionals, employers, and other college students and graduates the fears and the issues you face during your daunting job-hunting process. Employers and career development professionals can now gain a better insight on the issues that are important to today's young jobseekers with CollegeRecruiter.com's newly published blog, the "
CollegeRecruiter.com Insights by Candidates Blog"
Many Internet job boards fail to treat users with the respect and attention they deserve. Perhaps many of those boards have looked upon job seekers simply as traffic and therefore not deserving the same individualized attention as the employers who pay to advertise their job openings. "If a jobsite fails to speak to the needs and wants of the best candidates, then the site will actually discourage applications from highly qualified candidates," said Steven Rothberg, President and Founder of the Minneapolis-based CollegeRecruiter.com. There is no better way to be in tune with the needs and wants of the candidates searching your site than listening to their screams for help in the company's new blog.
CollegeRecruiter.com successfully designed its site to be fast and easy-to-use with many relevant job postings and more employment-related articles and other content than most candidates could ever hope for. The site already had a successful staff written blog, the
CollegeRecruiter.com Blog, which helped the company communicate better with its users. However, something was missing.
"Since going live in 1996, we have always searched for new ideas on how to make CollegeRecruiter.com more engaging for the user," said Rothberg. "Today, we've taken a big step toward that goal with the release of our new user-written blog, the '
CollegeRecruiter.com Insights by Candidates Blog.' I see it as a significant defining feature for our company."
Along with helping employers and career service professionals better understand the mindset of today's young jobseekers, the new blog should help establish a sense of community among jobseekers, and help them feel that they are not alone. 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 collection of job hunting thoughts, feelings, and experiences written by college students and recent graduates.
Both CollegeRecruiter.com's staff-written blog and the new "
Insights By Candidates" blog were nominated for Best Blog Awards by
Recruiting.com.
