Minneapolis, Minnesota, May 10, 2006 - CollegeRecruiter.com (http://www.CollegeRecruiter.com) announced today that it has acquired the Jobseeker´s Revenge blog (http://jobseekersrevenge.blogspot.com/) from Jim Stroud, a recruiter at Microsoft and the continuing author of the Jim Stroud 2.0 blog (http://blogcharm.com/jimstroud). Over 20,000 web pages link to the more than 650 pages of entries, comments, and podcasts at Jobseeker´s Revenge. The blog was also nominated for the 2005 Best Blog Award by Recruiting.com. Terms of the transaction were not released.
"Since we launched in 1996, CollegeRecruiter.com has always placed a significant emphasis on developing top notch content for the students, recent graduates, employers, and schools that use our career site," said Steven Rothberg, President and Founder of CollegeRecruiter.com. "This emphasis on content has been a primary driving force behind our success in being the highest traffic career site used by students and recent graduates and in our profitability. When Jim asked if we would be interested in acquiring his Jobseeker´s Revenge blog, we immediately responded that we were. Jim is highly regarded by all involved in recruitment, especially those involved in on-line recruitment. His blog entries are insightful and will be valued by the candidates using our site now that Jim´s content has been migrated to the "CollegeRecruiter.com Insights by Employers Blog (http://www.CollegeRecruiter.com/employersblog/ )."
"As much as I enjoyed writing and editing Jobseeker´s Revenge, my new position with Microsoft and continuing work on the Jim Stroud 2.0 blog simply did not allow me enough time for Jobseeker´s Revenge," said Jim Stroud. "Yet I was unwilling to let it wither and die a slow death so decided that the best approach was to find a leading career site that shared my vision for wanting to help college students and recent graduates. I was gratified that CollegeRecruiter.com was as interested in my content as I was in making sure that my content continued to live and benefit these entry level candidates."
The hundreds of entries, comments, and podcasts on Jobseeker´s Revenge have been imported into the CollegeRecruiter.com Insights by Employers Blog, which is written by recruiters and hiring managers from numerous employers. Visitors may choose to read only those entries and comments originally posted to Jobseeker´s Revenge by clicking on Jim Stroud´s name in the list of authors on the right side of every page of the CollegeRecruiter.com Insights by Employers Blog.
