MINNEAPOLIS, MN--(Marketwire - May 18, 2009) - Jobs2Web, a Web 2.0 interactive
recruiting solutions provider, today announced the outcomes of its recent
Client Advisory Board (CAB) meeting. Held April 29 - May 1 in Minneapolis,
the CAB meeting was attended by key executives and thought leaders from
companies such as America's leader in financial planning; a Fortune 100
multinational retailer of technology and entertainment products and
services; a 60,000 employee leading provider of short- and long-term
medical and rehabilitation care; an operator of large sports, athletic,
fitness and family recreation centers; a prominent provider of clinic and
hospital services; the worldwide leader in software, services and
solutions; a global healthcare company; a global leader in medical
technology; a Fortune 50 leading retailer; a leading property casualty
insurer; and an operator of over 35,000 fast food restaurants.
Jobs2Web's CAB is designed to provide market-based guidance to the company
regarding innovation in interactive recruiting. This group of talent
acquisition executives from a cross-section of Jobs2Web clients meets twice
a year for a multi-day forum to discuss Jobs2Web products and strategy and
provide direct counsel to Jobs2Web leadership. Potential topics of
discussion include Product Strategy and Roadmap, Pricing and Packaging of
Products and Solutions, Business Practices and Growth Strategies.
Jobs2Web's solutions and the CAB's mission are particularly relevant in the
current economic climate, as many companies are proactively seeking to
identify cost-reduction strategies that lower recruitment advertising yet
maintain performance and return.
In the most recent meeting, newer CAB members expressed interest in the
success stories shared by Jobs2Web clients that have used the solutions for
one year or more. As a result of these discussions and consistent with its
focus on being responsive to its clients, Jobs2Web issued a customer survey
to quantify and validate significant trends in recruitment advertising. As
anticipated, the results corroborated that 75% of respondents attributed
their job board advertising savings in particular to their Jobs2Web
programs, and 79% forecast their intent to cut usage of at least one of the
"big three" paid job boards in the coming year.
"We take our role of a strategic partner to our clients extremely
seriously, and with the ever-changing economic environment impacting so
many of our clients at present, it is vital we hold this executive-level
information exchange at least twice per year," said Ken Holec, chief
executive officer of Jobs2Web. "Not only does the CAB meeting offer
Jobs2Web an opportunity to receive direct client input into shaping our
products, services, and future interactive recruiting strategies to best
serve their particular needs, it also provides an open forum for clients to
discuss with each other the changing landscape of recruiting, challenges
they face, and best practices for addressing them."
The next CAB meeting will be held in September 2009. More information
