MINNEAPOLIS, MN--(Marketwire - December 2, 2009) - Jobs2Web, a Web 2.0 interactive
recruiting solutions provider, today announced that Manpower Canada, a
world leader in the employment services industry, has selected Jobs2Web to
develop a comprehensive interactive recruitment strategy. Using its
award-winning technology solutions, Jobs2Web will enhance Manpower's
ability to capture quality candidates from the millions of people using
Google and Yahoo! to search for jobs.
Jobs2Web's interactive recruiting technology capitalizes on the changing
ways job seekers are looking for work online and the ability to track
recruiting source effectiveness. In Canada, more than 37,000,000 job
searches are conducted each month using Google. In the U.S., that number is
more than 250,000,000. With Jobs2Web, companies can tap into this
ready-made source of candidates to build and manage a database of
prospects, employees, and applicants to fill open positions.
Ken Holec, Jobs2Web's CEO, stated, "Almost 30% of our clients currently use
Jobs2Web's solutions to fill non-U.S. jobs. We are gratified that Manpower
Canada -- a leader in both permanent and temporary job placements -- has
recognized our ability to source quality candidates at a lower cost. We
look forward to being Manpower Canada's recruiting partner and further
strengthening the company's position as a leader in the market."
In addition to search engine optimization, companies are looking for ways
to leverage social networking sites like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.
More than 85% of Canadians over the age of 15 are using social networks and
this is quickly becoming an important medium for passive candidate
networking. Using Jobs2Web, companies can not only promote jobs through
corporate and personal profile pages, but also can extend employee referral
programs to these networks automatically and further incentivize employees
to add jobs to their profile pages.
"We want to attract the best talent for our clients; therefore, we need to
develop relationships with top prospects before they become active job
seekers," stated Byrne Luft, Vice President, Marketing for Manpower Canada.
"Leveraging social networks and search engine optimization enables us to
engage candidates much earlier in the process -- long before they would
consider posting their resumes on job boards. This gives us an advantage
over our competitors and helps us deliver the high-level candidates our
clients have come to expect from Manpower."
