CareerSite Corporation(TM) Signs Agreement To Power HVAConlineJobs.com(TM)
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- June 19, 2000 -- CareerSite Corporation, a leading
e-recruiting solution provider, announced today an agreement to power
HVAConlineJobs.com, HVAConline.coms recruitment site, focusing on employers
and job seekers in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning trade
community. CareerSite powers the site at HVAConlineJobs.com which provides
employers with a one-stop" recruitment resource and browser-based
e-recruiting tool. Job seekers receive a free, unique way to market
themselves anonymously.
The HVAConline CareerSite Recruiter(TM) software offers HVAC/R employers a
convenient and easy way to take advantage of the Internet for recruiting
purposes. This browser-based tool streamlines the process and seamlessly
connects users with the HVAConline CareerSite and the best, high-traffic,
free job sites. Employers can access over 200,000 candidate profiles in
CareerSites database (recently rated number two in résumé quality by the
national Electronic Recruiting Index), and any information on the HVAC/R
vertical network, with one click of the mouse.
HVAConlineJobs.com provides job seekers with necessary career management
tools and easy access to employers on the HVAC/R vertical network, among
others, at no cost. By entering a password protected, confidential profile
that does not contain any private, identifiable information, CareerSites
unique technology enables job seekers to market themselves anonymously to
employers while maintaining complete control over identity disclosure. To
ensure that candidates receive all relevant matching positions, CareerSites
SmartMatch(TM), a proprietary technology, searches for jobs using concepts
rather than simple words. Additional job searching tools include:
automatic e-mail notification of job matches based on registered
preferences, online résumé storage, cover letter submissions, and the
ability to search and apply for jobs. In addition, access to customer
service, a career resource center, online bookstore, and HVAC/R information
is readily available at the site.
HVAConline.coms partnership with CareerSite will enable us to develop the
most extensive list of career opportunities available to the HVAC/R
industry, while expanding our visibility through the other well-known,
online job search services aligned with CareerSite," said Todd Mann, COO,
HVAConline.com. In addition to introducing HVAConlineJobs.com on our site
this month, we are also providing the HVAC/R marketplace with industry news,
business, and technical expertise via HVAConline.com."
Having more than 20 years of experience in the HVAC/R industry, I know how
difficult it can be to locate a qualified HVAC/R employee or position
through traditional means," said Marcia Hollatz, vice president, HVAC/R
general manager, HVAConline.com. However, online recruiting will be a
great tool to facilitate the job searching process, especially in this tight
job market. By offering this service online, physical barriers are broken
and every member of the supply chain will have the opportunity to post job
openings or locate positions that match their qualifications and interests."
HVAConlineJobs.com provides a vertical recruitment network with one-stop,
integrated access catering to mechanical professionals," said Don Dornbush,
founder and president, CareerSite Corporation. This agreement will enhance
HVAConline.coms stickiness and provide an innovative way to recruit new
professionals into the HVAC/R industry."
