Jobster Names Alexander Mann Solutions Premier UK Partner

Jobster today announced that it has named leading global recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) provider Alexander Mann Solutions as premier partner for the UK. Responsible for sales and marketing in the UK, Alexander Mann Solutions will utilise the U.S.-based Jobster system to deliver more effective and innovative tools for organisations looking to target, engage and hire the best candidates.

Jason Goldberg, Jobster CEO commented, ìThrough our career networking and referral technology, we are building valuable audiences of jobseekers and career-minded professionals around the globe. Our partnership with Alexander Mann Solutions will help UK organisations better tap into those audiences to gain access to and target people who are not actively looking for a new job, as well as helping organisations create their own private talent networks of prospects.î



The Jobster web-based service enables employers to target, engage and hire the most qualified candidates through employee referrals, e-mail marketing campaigns, contextual website and blog targeting, and more effective use of employersí career websites. By using Jobster, organisations can improve the performance of strategic sourcing initiatives such as referral programs, diversity hiring and university recruiting. Jobster and Alexander Mann Solutions are also collaborating on a unique Facebook application to help UK employers gain access to the valuable Facebook social network audience.

Martin Cerullo, Director of Resourcing Communications at Alexander Mann Solutions commented, ìIn the UK, there is a crescendo of discussions within the recruitment community about how Web 2.0 and social networking can be used to improve the sourcing activities, increase direct hiring and to drive employer brand communications. Additionally, the press is full of stories about the move of consumers from traditional information driven websites to Web 2.0 network based communities, such as Facebook. We believe that our partnership with Jobster will enable our clients to optimise their sourcing activities and tap into the growing trend for social networking for a wide range of resourcing needs, from campus recruitment, to targeting specific hard to fill skillsets such as SAP consultants and actuaries to facilitating employee referral programmes.
