MedZilla.com, has partnered with BioSourceLink.org, an organization committed to supporting the life sciences industry and life science professionals around the globe. As a result of the exclusive agreement, BioSourceLink visitors, including job seekers and recruiters, will be able to access the career-related content, job search capabilities, and comprehensive resume database of MedZilla.com.
We embrace this alliance because of BioSourceLink''s niche approach and commitment to the life sciences. MedZilla is recognized as one of the top niche job boards in this space, says Michele Groutage, director of marketing and development, MedZilla.com. Science, pharmaceutical and biotechnology professionals are key segments of our online career services. We are always looking for ways in which to provide our users with value-added content and this opportunity presented itself as a good fit. The BioSourceLink site is well-thought-out, useful and lends itself to being inviting to the scientific community.
BioSourceLink founder Joel Idelson, a biotech recruiter for 12 years before launching the Web site earlier this year, built an impressive following with an industry newsletter that he started in 1999. Today, he says that his site is a virtual community for people in the life sciences industry, including those conducting research or simply looking for industry resources. Sometimes people come to our site to find information on a white paper-let''s say on proteomics or the human genome product. Others are looking for a job or just want to do some networking, he says.
The BioSourceLink-MedZilla partnership made sense because of both organizations'' collective commitment to life sciences. I thought it was great because while some other portals are the one-stop shop for all, MedZilla really focuses on life sciences, as do we. So, we were very careful in terms of choosing our partner in the career center, Idelson says.
