Atlanta-based online recruiting site, Headhunter.net, and JobsDB.com, the largest Pan Asian interactive recruitment network, have formed a strategic partnership designed to strengthen each otherís international presence. The partnership provides companies with direct access to U.S. and Pan Asian job seekers including candidates in Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines and Australia.
Through the Headhunter.net and JobsDB.com partnership, companies will also benefit from the 200 combined alliances including Yahoo!, MSN, SingNet, and more, that attract millions of jobseekers.
ìThe expansion of the new economy into global markets has created a demand for quality candidates both here and abroad,î said Ron Self, COO for Headhunter.net. ìThrough our partnership with JobsDB.com, Headhunter.net gains additional revenue opportunities and a strong foothold in this key geographic area while expanding our clientís global reach to this rapidly growing and competitive market.î
The partnership between Headhunter.net and JobsDB.com is a testament to the rapid growth attributed to the online Asian market. According to Standard Media International, close to 173 million people in the Asia-Pacific region will go online this year. By 2003 the Asia-Pacific region will account for 37 percent of the worldís online population. Additionally, according to Workforce Magazine, many U.S. based firms caught in the talent crunch are extending their searches outside America to find workers.
ìThe alliance is a milestone for our business development,î said Nelson Poon, COO for JobsDB.com. ìThis exciting move will enable our clients to reach the vast profile of jobseekers in North America, which is especially useful for companies who require professionals with international experience and exposure.î
