ClieNETele Communications launches nowCareersUSA.com with 4500 direct links to corporate websites.

NowCareersUSA is an employment site that offers more to employers. Using a 'keep-it-simple' approach, their Yahoo-style search directory includes links to corporate websites and nothing else. No resumes are accepted. No job postings are accepted. It truly is 'The Employment Site FOR Employers.'

The internet has made the world of selling more competitive for companies. It has also made recruiting a more competitive challenge for employers. Career seekers have found the internet to be superior to methods that were commonplace just a few years ago and employers have drastically reduced their cost-per-hire expenses by using online tools and resources. And yet, the Internet is still an infant and the internet employment sites of yesterday will not be the internet employment sites most visited in tomorrow's world. On June 10, 2003, ClieNETele Communications will launch nowCareersUSA.com, an employment site with a difference. At this time, the website includes over two hundred city-focused job markets with over 4500 links to corporate websites. Career seekers who visit nowcareersusa.com select a job market and are then provided with a list of employers. From here, when he or she finds an employer of interest to them, they simply click the link and they are on the employer's website.

Most employment websites cater to the needs of the job-seekers, simplifying their career search through resume postings and keywords searches that allow career seekers to explore several job markets with a single click. NowCareersUSA begins with the premise that every job-seekers should visit the employer's website before applying to the employer. So why not eliminate the middle man?

The service is a free service to job seekers with no registration required. Unlike most employment sites, nowCareersUSA does not include career advice, salary surveys, industrial outlooks, message boards, interviewing tips, resume instructions or any other distractions to the primary goal of the website--to drive job-seekers to the career pages of corporate websites, to turn online career seekers into onsite applicants.

Glen Broyles, president of ClieNETele Communications, noted that most of the larger job boards were becoming increasingly clogged with job postings from employment agencies. He reached the conclusion--if employers are not using these job boards, and if employers are using the internet, then the bulk of their career opportunities had to be on their corporate websites. Investigating thousands of corporate websites, he found thousands and thousands of jobs listed on corporate job boards. There still remained one challenge--How does a corporate employer get career seekers to visit theire website. His solution was nowCareersUSA.com, a website structured with the singular purpose of encouraging job seekers to visit the corporate websites of employers. This process may be more time-consuming for job seekers than one-click searches of mutliple job markets, but the power of this website is that it offers more employers per job market than currently available on most online job boards.

NowCareersUSA is based in the Seattle, Washington area and Washington cities are more fully developed than some other job markets. However, nowCareersUSA is adding hundreds of new employers every week and expects to have over 10,000 links with ninety days.
