SmartPost adds dozens of new niche sites to support successful recruiting strategies
Largest eMedia library in the industry continues to feed specialized talent pools
NEW YORK, NY - October 14, 2008 — SmartPost, the innovative online job posting product from Bernard Hodes Group, continues to aggressively expand its breadth and depth with niche and locally focused job board distribution channels. SmartPost offers thousands of job posting and sourcing options, and brings together the best-in-class sourcing technology with the industry’s most robust reporting metrics.
Survey after survey has proven that in today’s recruiting climate a company’s online media strategies are producing the best ROI when maximizing niche and local talent pipelines. Companies continue to deal with expanding needs that require specialized skill sets that general job boards have never catered to exclusively, if at all. With limited dollars and less time to weed through stacks of resumes, organizations are turning to association and industry sites which reflect a more targeted audience. SmartPost has taken an approach to “go niche”, which is not only reflected in their client requests, but in their customers’ recruiting successes as well.
“Client demand is up for these local and niche resources hitting everything from traditional healthcare specialty sites, to those focused on retail, gaming, HR, or to the unexpected such as timber and golf careers,” said Carmen Doherty, product director, SmartPost. “Our customers are demanding we provide sourcing options that better reach the industry skills their organizations need. We get dozens of such requests a month to add in sites that have a niche focus.”
Such niche sites include icrunchdata.com which is dedicated to data and tech jobs, and one of the fastest growing in its market segment. icrunchdata works with over 1,500 companies and executive staffing firms in industries including banking, insurance, healthcare, e-commerce, retail and telecommunications recruiting for data and technology professionals. More than 75,000 job seekers use icrunchdata to find opportunities.
“icrunchdata has worked with Bernard Hodes Group for over 5 years now, and we are very happy to be expanding our relationship by integrating with the SmartPost job distribution system,” said icrunchdata Managing Director and Co-founder Todd Nevins.
In recent months, SmartPost has also added sites for the Society of Technical Communication, Northern CA HR Association, GameJobs.com, ERE.net, juju.com, HealthcareRecruitment, Fleetjobs.com, AffirmativeActionRegister.com, American Academy of Audiology, NewspaperCareerBank.com, National Association of College and University Business Officers, ChicagoJobs.com, IllinoisCareers.com, RIJobs.com and JobFetch.com.
