CollegeRecruiter.com won two Recruiting.com Best Blog Awards

While there are millions of blogs, very few are written by one of the principals behind a premium job board, and even fewer are written by one of the principals behind a premium job board that is primarily used by job-hunting college students, recent graduates, and the employers who want to hire them. Out of the three categories that CollegeRecruiter.com was nominated for, the Minneapolis based company, recently won two Recruiting.com Best Blog Awardsóa very high honor marking excellence, creativity, and resourcefulness -- in the recent Recruiting.com competition.

For the category ìBest Recruiting Advice Blogî, out of 571 respondents, 119 (20.8 percent) voted for the CollegeRecruiter.com Blog, and for the ìBest Human Resources Blogî category, 149 of the 488 respondents (30.5 percent) voted for the CollegeRecruiter.com Blog. The CollegeRecruiter.com Insights by Candidates Blog, which was launched only a few days before the start of voting was a runner up for the ìBest Job Seeker Blog Awardî. This was also an superb achievement given the age of the new blog.

Steven Rothberg, President and Founder of CollegeRecruiter.com, credits winning the Best Blog Awards to his unique ability to write from the perspective of both job seekers and employers. According to Rothberg, ìMost blog writers in the recruiting space are third party recruiters (headhunters) and corporate recruiters. In both cases, they tend to write from the perspective of the employer and thatís fine. There are also blogs written by jobseekers, and they tend to write from their perspective. But there arenít too many blogs written by principals of job boards, which is too bad because weíre able to write from both perspectives.î The CollegeRecruiter.com Blog is not about fulfilling journalistic fantasies. Itís about putting a face to the organization, and improving their site visitorsí ability to interact with the principals.

ìThe contest wasnít all about winners and losers,î said Jason Davis of Recruiting.com. ìIt was an effort to recognize the organizations which thrive on sharing their expertise and knowledge. The writers of these blogs understand that theyíre building a community and learning as they go.î

As the highest trafficked site used by job hunting college students and recent graduates and the employers who want to hire them, CollegeRecruiter.com truly understands how important it is to build a sense of community. Since the induction of the CollegeRecruiter.com Blog on September 14, 2005, Rothberg has added well over 100 entries. The 5,000,000 visitors per month to CollegeRecruiter.com are able to read and learn from the entries and even post their own comments to the entries. Just like its podcasts and existing library of over 1,500 content rich pages of articles and Ask the Experts questions and answers, CollegeRecruiter.com charges no fee for full access to its already fast growing, insightful collection of blog articles.

ìThe boat doesnít anchor here, the CollegeRecruiter.com Blog will keep sailing into new waters, and identifying new opportunities,î said Rothberg. ìThose who create blogs, are just as much early pioneers as those who were creating websites in 1996.î Early in 2006, Rothberg plans to make his blogs far more visible to the average visitor and for the blogs to play a central role in distinguishing the CollegeRecruiter.com site from those of its competitors.
