Beyond.com, Inc., the world’s largest network of niche career communities, today announced it has been selected by The Network, the largest online recruitment solution in the world, to be their exclusive provider of recruitment services in the U.S. market for their multinational clients, replacing Yahoo! HotJobs. The Network is used by more than 1,000 customers with access to a pool of 100 million jobseekers across 121 countries. The relationship represents a natural partnership for Beyond.com, particularly on the heels of the Yahoo! HotJobs (NasdaqGS: YHOO) acquisition by Monster.com (NYSE: MWW), and The Network’s need for U.S. representation by a leader in the career space.
The relationship allows numerous multinational organizations, many already leveraging The Network for their hiring needs, to fully utilize the Beyond.com Network of thousands of niche industry and geographic career communities to obtain even more relevant candidates for their positions. In addition, Beyond.com will be in a position to expand its portfolio worldwide through the extended reach of The Network.
The Network’s addition of Beyond.com adds another market leader to its growing community within the online recruitment market including representatives in over 100 countries such as StepStone, a division of Axel Springer AG, Germany’s largest newspaper and third-largest magazine publisher, TotalJobs.com, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Reed Elsevier Group plc, a FTSE 100 company and one of the world’s largest publishing and information companies, Jobs.ch (Switzerland), Workopolis (Canada) and Jobstreet (Asia Pacific), among other dominant market players.
“We are honored to join a global organization whose members include the leading job boards around the world that have demonstrated success to thousands of employers and millions of candidates,” said Rich Milgram, CEO, Beyond.com. “As the need for global recruiting becomes more and more critical, we are proud to be positioned as the natural Network partner for the U.S., and we look forward to working in tandem with our fellow partners in the member countries to provide unsurpassed global recruitment solutions.”
Steven Lewis, International Director, Totaljobs Group and Managing Director, The Network says: “We are delighted to welcome Beyond.com to our global alliance and look forward to leveraging its relationships and reach to provide a more integrated service to recruiters looking for international jobseekers. Their proven experience in the U.S. and depth of network will be extremely valuable to our international clientele.”
