FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Minneapolis, Minnesota, February 20, 2006 – CollegeRecruiter.com, the highest traffic career site used by job-hunting students, recent graduates and the employers who want to hire them, announced today that Steven Rothberg, its President and Founder, has been invited to speak at the Southwest Association of Colleges and Employers (SWACE) annual conference in New Orleans, Louisiana next June. The city has been through some very trying times recently but is getting back on its feet and will be ready to host the 2006 SWACE Conference.

“I’m thrilled to be part of the 2006 SWACE conference,” said Rothberg. “The other speakers, the venue, the organizers, they’re all first rate and I look forward to working with SWACE for many years to come.” During his presentation, Rothberg will discuss how career service offices and employers can best engage today’s candidates through a highly interactive discussion about the best practices for the design of employment-related web sites. The discussion will first address how, in just ten years, the Internet has evolved from being a curiosity to one of the most critical elements for career service offices and employers alike. Yet many career service offices use overworked staff or students to create their web sites and many employers spend a ton of time and money buying job postings and resume searching from job boards and virtually neglect their own sites. According to Rothberg, “career service and corporate employment web sites are occasionally fantastic, sometimes good, and usually in need of a serious upgrade.”

Rothberg will then discuss why it is important to take corporate employment web sites from merely allowing candidates to view opportunities and perhaps learn about organizations to sites which educate, engage and inspire candidates. He’ll look at real-life examples of fantastic sites and discuss what features make them fantastic, which of those features can be easily and inexpensively replicated, and why those features are important to candidates and need to be just as important to the organizations.
