Company Revolutionizes Online Job Searches

New Online Career Center provides detailed profile matching and video conferencing -- Saves companies time and money and lets them find the most qualified hires in minutes.

Eugene, Oregon -- April 9, 2003

HireGate, LLC has created a new, more efficient online format for the employment community. Dubbed the Online Career Center, this new format in job search sites allows companies and users alike to match each other based on skill sets, or profiles. It also allows companies and job seekers alike to record and post videos highlighting their skills and benefits. That means employers can find the exact skills, experience and education level they are seeking in a new hire and job seekers can find the right company to work for.

With HireGates Online Career Center, employers can select from a database of nationally certified skill sets that best fit their job opening. The more skill sets they select, the more qualified their employee search becomes. By selecting these profiles, employers will be able to qualify thousands of potential hires in minutes. This compares to the hours, or even days Human Resources managers would normally have to spend combing through resumes.

Even more compelling is HireGates exclusive video posting and video conferencing technology. This allows employers and job seekers alike to record and post videos of themselves. This is done in an effort to sell the benefits of working for a company, or hiring a certain individual. The video conferencing allows employers to conduct interviews, or pre-interviews using the HireGate site, a Web cam, microphone and speakers. This saves untold amounts of time and money normally spent to conduct a face-to-face interview.

According to Todd Thompson, HireGates founder and CEO: The resume was once a way for job seekers to set themselves apart from the crowd. As the online job market began to flourish, the resume became nothing more than a text file. As millions of resumes began to flood the online marketplace, employers were faced with the task of combing through every single one just to find a qualified job seeker. Even then, there was no guarantee that they would find the right candidate. At HireGate, we have taken the guess work out of online job searches and created a time and money saving solution for employers and job seekers alike."

Thompson goes on to state: All totaled, HireGate offers more time and money saving features for employers, while offering job seekers more exposure than any other job search site in the world."

The HireGate Online Career Center is also affiliated with Americas Job Bank, the nations largest job search network. When a job is posted to Americas Job Bank, it is assigned a number, which can then be referenced on HireGate. This gives job seekers and employers more access to career resources than any other site on the Web. HireGates available database of thousands of jobs can be automatically posted to Americas Job Bank where they can be accessed by over 25 state and federal employment agencies.
