FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Minneapolis, Minnesota — July 31, 2006 — CollegeRecruiter.com’s strategic partnership with RecruiTV will allow employers to transform their text-only job posting ads on CollegeRecruiter.com and the 15,000 niche career sites in its network into multimedia recruitment ads that will allow entry level job seekers to read about job openings but also to learn about the employer, its employees, and its culture through the sights and sounds made possible through video.

“One of the welcome challenges of working with Gen Y candidates is that their technical skills, knowledge, and expectations surpass those of any other age group,” said Steven Rothberg, President and Founder of CollegeRecruiter.com, the highest traffic career site used by job hunting students and recent graduates and the employers who want to hire them. “The students and recent graduates who use our site understand that they should choose an employment opportunity based upon their competencies, interests, and values. Traditional text-only job postings are almost always written by the employer with only the needs and wants of the employer stated. These requirements and job duties may allow candidates to determine if the position lines up with their competencies but almost never allow candidates to determine if the position also lines up with their interests and values. Video does that because it forces and enables employers to showcase important factors such as their place of work, the team members with whom the candidates will work, and the culture of the organization. While some employers are starting to add recruitment videos to their own web sites, virtually none have been able to add those same videos to their job posting ads on career sites such as CollegeRecruiter.com because the process was so difficult and the cost so high. Until now. RecruiTV makes it easy, fast, and inexpensive. We’re thrilled to be working with them.”

“We’re excited to provide a leading technology and video community platform for CollegeRecruiter.com employers and its community of students and college graduates. The use and creation of on-line video has arrived with broadband technology and the widespread use of video in the marketplace today. Candidates and employers benefit tremendously from the use of recruitment videos because they bring a more personal element to the recruiting lifecycle”, said Peter J. Altieri, Chief Executive Officer of RecruiTV by Wetjello.

Although the partnership between CollegeRecruiter.com and Wetjello was just implemented, three leading employers of college students and recent graduates have already upgraded their job postings on the CollegeRecruiter.com by adding video: Central Intelligence Agency, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and RadioShack.
