CollegeRecruiter.com and ResumeRabbit.com Partner to Maximize Benefit for Weary Job Seekers (December 3, 2007 Press Release)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Minneapolis, Minnesota (December 3, 2007) – One of the most significant struggles that job seekers have is actually no different than what we all struggle with: a lack of available time. Although most employers source potential hires from Internet job boards such as CollegeRecruiter.com, job candidates aren’t well served spending the majority of their time on job sites. After some initial benefit, the return received from additional time spent diminishes rather quickly.
“We recommend that job seekers spend no more than a day on the big three general job boards and a handful or two of niche sites and then only come back when the sites alert them to a new position which matches their interests,” said Steven Rothberg, President and Founder of CollegeRecruiter.com. “Candidates who spend day after day in front of their computers reviewing postings, tweaking their resumes, and applying to jobs are often doing so to feel productive but if they were really honest with themselves, they would acknowledge that there is a huge difference between feeling and being productive. Spending a ton of time manually posting your resume to job board after job board is not a productive use of anyone’s time.”
Enter ResumeRabbit.com. ResumeRabbit.com created its technology and product in 1999 to help both passive and active job seekers spend as much time as possible focusing on researching potential employers, networking, and other such highly productive tasks. After eight years of fine-tuning its unique technology and product, ResumeRabbit.com is still the only Internet tool that instantly delivers job seekers’ resumes to over 80 career sites such as the big general sites Monster, Careerbuilder and HotJobs and high quality niche sites such as CollegeRecruiter.com.
So how does it work? In two words: very well. Rather than a candidate spending as much as 60 hours posting a resume to up to 80 job boards which are targeted to their geographic and occupational areas of interest, the candidate simply goes to ResumeRabbit.com, posts their resume, and pays a fee of $59.95. Not only does ResumeRabbit.com guarantee to post the candidates resumes and job requirements on up to 80 top job sites within 72 hours, but ResumeRabbit.com has to-date posted some 7.5 million resumes to job boards for over 150,000 job seekers.
“The fact is different employers search different job sites. What our service does is give a job seeker maximum exposure online, so they can be in all the right places at all the right times — without spending 60 hours researching and filling out forms,” said Lee Marc, President of eDirect Publishing, Inc., the creators of ResumeRabbit.com. “You’ll never wonder if you missed an opportunity to be found on different job boards, while saving your valuable time for other important aspects of your job search,” Marc continued.
Due to increased interest by college students searching for internships and recent graduates hunting for entry-level jobs, ResumeRabbit.com just added a new category to its list of job board partners. Instead of it only being able to post resumes to general sites and niche sites in technology, accounting, sales and marketing, and diversity, ResumeRabbit.com is now also able to post resumes to entry-level sites such as CollegeRecruiter.com. Within the first days of the entry-level category becoming available, dozens of resumes had successfully been posted by ResumeRabbit.com on behalf of its job seeker customers. And that means that each and every one of those job seekers were then able to immediately spend a lot more of their valuable time being as productive as possible in their search for a great new job.
