MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. and TORONTO, Ontario (March XX, 2009) - Jobs2Web, a Web 2.0 interactive recruiting solutions provider, and CareerDoor Inc., recruitment solutions specialists, today announced an agreement between the companies. Under the terms of the agreement, CareerDoor will represent Jobs2Web’s solutions in Canada.
 

Terri Joosten, CEO of CareerDoor, said, “A lot of our clients are taking advantage of the economic downturn by using this time to examine and refine their recruiting practices. With so many recruiters trying to leverage Web 2.0 technologies and social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook, putting a formal strategy in place now means companies will have talent communities built and ready to go when hiring rebounds. Jobs2Web is an integral part of this equation and we’re excited to represent their solutions in the Canadian market.”

Jobs2Web’s Vice President of Sales, Brett Keirstead, commented, “Regardless of the times, employers are trying to achieve two goals in corporate recruiting: reduce costs and engage passive job seekers. In our case, we enable companies to bring down their job board spend by taking advantage of major search engines and social networking tools. Secondly, our solutions create talent communities of active and passive job seekers who remain engaged and ready to be tapped once the hiring green light goes on.”

Both companies are known for their abilities to attract and engage candidates using Web-based technologies. For example, CareerDoor recently held eCareer Fairs that enabled recruiters to meet online, one-on-one with almost 900 registered candidates. In the case of Jobs2Web, the company recently welcomed its 100^th customer as well as its 40^th customer in the healthcare vertical.

Keirstead concluded, “Our companies share the common goals of working the way the job seeker searches, as well as the way today’s corporate recruiters work. A winning formula has been created through our alliance and we’re looking forward to expanding our presence in the Canadian market with CareerDoor.”
