ìSince we launched in 1996, CollegeRecruiter.com has always placed a significant emphasis on developing top notch content for the students, recent graduates, employers, and schools that use our career site,î said Steven Rothberg, President and Founder of CollegeRecruiter.com. ìThis emphasis on content has been a primary driving force behind our success in being the highest traffic career site used by students and recent graduates and in our profitability. When Jim asked if we would be interested in acquiring his Jobseekerís Revenge blog, we immediately responded that we were. Jim is highly regarded by all involved in recruitment, especially those involved in on-line recruitment. His blog entries are insightful and will be valued by the candidates using our site now that Jimís content has been migrated to the ìCollegeRecruiter.com Insights by Employers Blog.î
ìAs much as I enjoyed writing and editing Jobseekerís Revenge, my new position with Microsoft and continuing work on the Jim Stroud 2.0 blog simply did not allow me enough time for Jobseekerís Revenge,î said Jim Stroud. ìYet I was unwilling to let it wither and die a slow death so decided that the best approach was to find a leading career site that shared my vision for wanting to help college students and recent graduates. I was gratified that CollegeRecruiter.com was as interested in my content as I was in making sure that my content continued to live and benefit these entry level candidates.î
