Beyond.com Revolutionizes Niche Recruitment
Leader in Niche Recruitment Unveils New Approach to Connect Employers with Quality Candidates
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – June 23, 2008 – Beyond.com, Inc., the world’s largest network of niche career communities, unveiled a new approach to connect employers with quality candidates. For the past ten years, Beyond.com has been revolutionizing the online recruitment industry by demonstrating the value of going niche to job seekers, employers and other job boards. Beyond.com logically built its network one community at a time, and has grown to become a network of thousands of career communities. With many general job boards struggling to go niche, Beyond.com is well positioned to take niche recruiting to the next level.
Niche communities are growing because they attract career-minded professionals and job seekers by providing highly-relevant content and jobs. However, many employers are searching for candidates across multiple industries and locations, leaving them wanting more than one site can offer. In response, Beyond.com has created a unique channelized network approach that connects users across all relevant network sites though a single destination to provide the quality of niche recruitment with the quantity of a larger job board.
Beyond.com’s new channel structure organizes groups of related network sites into categories based on industry, location or specialty. Each channel is anchored by a premier career destination, which is heavily marketed to job seekers to provide fresh candidates to employers. Many of these candidates are attracted through niche sites they visit to do their job, allowing Beyond to attract a greater number of passive job seekers, most job boards cannot reach today.
To support its channel structure, Beyond.com has re-branded the company and launched a new website to promote the value and breadth of the network. Beyond.com CEO Rich Milgram has created new blog (EmploymentMetrix.com), sponsored by Beyond.com, to share industry trend data collected across its network and discuss new ideas and thoughts across a variety of recruitment and workplace-related topics.
“The rapid expansion of online recruitment has created a challenge for many job seekers and employers who are looking for relevant results, said Rich Milgram, CEO of Beyond.com, Inc.
“For many years, our company has focused on providing solutions through the development and expansion of a strong, comprehensive niche network. We believe in the next generation of recruitment and are committed to providing our members with a one-of-a kind recruiting experience that can’t be found anywhere else.”
