VNU BUSINESS MEDIA DRAWS ON THE POWER OF LEADING BRANDS TO LAUNCH “ONE-STOP-SHOPPING”

Employers and job seekers now have access to a robust career database and search engine reaching across Adweek, Brandweek, Mediaweek, Editor & Publisher, The Hollywood Reporter, Billboard and The Book Standard job websites
New York, NY (January 9, 2007) — VNU Business Media announced today it has created a distinctive new career resource to address the increasing convergence between the advertising, media and entertainment industries. Employers and job seekers will now be able to access a comprehensive database and search engine featuring job listings and career tools from across seven of VNU Business Media’s most trusted and market-leading brands. Employers who advertise on any of the sites in the career network, which includes Adweekjobs.com (including Brandweek and Mediaweek), BillboardJobs.com, BookStandardJobs.com, EditorandPublisherJobs.com, and HollywoodReporterJobs.com, will have their ads automatically posted to all sites, extending the reach of their ad. The increased functionality enables growing organizations to better target their recruitment efforts while reducing overall recruiting expenditures.

“The demand for top talent is growing exponentially and the lines between advertising, media and entertainment are becoming increasingly blurred,” said John Lerner, VP of Digital Strategy for VNU Business Media. “Now more than ever, employers and recruiters are looking across industries and for a mix of skill sets to find top employees. As the brand leaders in our markets, we are able to provide a highly-targeted audience that you won’t find on major job sites, while still offering a fast, convenient way to get your ad across a broad landscape of talent in the varied markets Business Media serves.” 

Gerry Crispin, a recruiting industry veteran and Chief Navigator of CareerXroads, a recruitment and career consulting website, commented: "Offering cross site job posting and job search capabilities across "like" web properties is a best of class move."

Employers can take advantage of competitively priced job posting packages tailored to their individual needs, can track performance of their ads, which stay active for 60 days, and can manage responses from candidates.

Job-seekers also benefit from the “one-stop-shopping” resource by being able to simultaneously view job listings from all five of the sites rather than visit them individually.

Other benefits to job seekers include online job applications, resume and cover letter management, and email notification of new job postings that fit their search criteria.

Both employers and job seekers also have access to a network of over 200 national and regional career sites, further enhancing their user experience.

Industry veteran Gabrielle Boguslawski, who has more than two decades of recruitment experience working with HR professionals and agencies, has been appointed to manage online sales and work closely with the brands’ classified teams.
