May 08, 2008 - St. Louis, MO – Career Network announced today that it will connect job seekers nationwide with publicly posted positions at no cost. The privately owned recruitment firm will focus its efforts through a network of job boards to assist the widest range of applicants possible.
In the past, recruiting efforts have centered on management and executive positions where the big recruiting dollars are found. With a possible recession looming on the minds of Americans, more mid-level employees are looking to either improve their situations or shore up their income with a better job. Career Network seeks to expand recruitment efforts to this niche of the job market.
During their normal recruitment process, the company was repeatedly contacted by applicants looking for jobs in a salary range below that of the job orders coming in from employers. They couldn’t make a match. To rectify this, they began looking at how that sector of the job market could best be served. It was decided that compiling jobs from online job boards and sending those companies applicants would be an effective way of matching these clients with jobs.
After a job seeker fills out an online application at one of the Career Network sites, the staff forwards that application along to the employer who will then consider the applicant for their position.
Career Network needed to make the services affordable for both the companies and the applicants, though. The solution was to include advertising that generates the revenue needed to keep the process going, and in turn provide the service at no charge to businesses or applicants.
Dealing with a new market mandated that the standard recruiting model be modified. Anyone expecting to assist this level of job seeker using the old model will fail. To best serve these people, the recruiting industry needs to adapt.
