iCIMS, Jobs2Web Partner to Offer Interactive Talent Acquisition and Career Site Optimization Solutions
– Leaders in Talent Management Extend Client Offerings to Include Integrated Web 2.0 Recruitment Services –
HAZLET, N.J. (May 12, 2008) – iCIMS, a leading Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider of talent management platforms, today announced that it is partnering with Jobs2Web to extend career site optimization and search engine optimization services through iCIMS Talent Platform.
With job seekers shifting their career searches from job boards to the major search engines (where over 35 million job related searches happen monthly), job aggregators, social networks, and even to their mobile devices, employers are becoming more strategic by leveraging interactive marketing platforms that allow them to take advantage of these new recruitment technologies.
Through this partnership, iCIMS and Jobs2Web will offer clients:
* Search engine optimization of iCIMS clients career sites and job content, helping them attract talent directly from Google, Yahoo!, and other major search engines.
* Automatic distribution of optimized jobs to major job aggregation sites.
* Enhanced Pay-Per-Click and keyword recruitment marketing tools.
* An Integrated Talent Community that helps employers capture passive job seekers online through email and RSS subscriptions, which integrates with iCIMS’ standard CRM tools.
* Automated recruitment marketing capabilities that match and regularly email jobs to any iCIMS’ Talent Community member to further drive repeat visitors.
* Social network applications that will allow iCIMS’ clients to push their jobs out to sites such as Facebook and MySpace.
* Total recruitment source tracking tools that help employers know exactly where their recruiting efforts are producing the best results.
“Job boards have been a staple of talent acquisition for our clients, but many are now looking beyond job boards for talent,” said Colin Day, President and CEO of iCIMS. “Jobs2Web will augment our customers ongoing use of job boards to immediately begin producing a fresh source of talent, including many who are semi-active or passive candidates. Our clients can receive these benefits easily because Jobs2Web snaps into the iCIMS platform without any IT requirements or changes to clients recruitment workflows.”
“We like the fit with iCIMS,” said Ken Holec, chief executive officer at Jobs2Web. “Source-of-talent accountability is a strong Talent Platform feature, as iCIMS’ reporting capabilities permit updated ROI and cost-per-hire reporting. We auto-tag every candidate we send our clients, which fits snuggly into the iCIMS platform and philosophy of effective talent acquisition.”
Employers are becoming much more sophisticated with their interactive recruiting strategies and their need for a more robust recruitment marketing solution is long past due. This partnership provides employers with integrated cutting edge marketing solutions that empower them to cut their time-to-fill and lower their cost-per-hire. The iCIMS/Jobs2Web alliance puts the employer back in control of their talent flow.
