Headhunter.net
Ventures Deeper Into Online And Offline Media Industry.
INTERNET WIRE -- In effort to increase its outreach across a wide
range of online media channels, Atlanta-based Headhunter.net (NASDAQ:HHNT),
a leading online awareness and recruiting site on the Internet,
today announced an alliance with three media outlets. Headhunter.net
is fast becoming an ideal partner for media sites that offer visitors
the option of finding jobs, while using their favorite online
media channel. Additionally, job posters will have access to a
wide range of Headhunter.net's career posting resources.
Adding
to its growing list of strategic partnerships, Headhunter.net
signed on ApartmentGuide.com,
Granite Broadcasting Corporation, and NewsChannel5.com.
By powering the career centers on each of these websites, Headhunter.net
will allow the sites to maintain their overall look and feel,
while at the same time giving visitors instant access to Headhunter.net's
full menu of job services.
"Headhunter.net
has identified online media channels as a valuable marketplace
with a growing number of visitors," said Bob Montgomery,
President and CEO of Headhunter.net. "By powering the career
centers of some of the strongest online media sites in the country,
Headhunter.net is not only expanding its online reach, but it's
also increasing overall profit by gaining additional job posters."
For
example, ApartmentGuide.com,
the online version of the popular apartment magazine Apartment
Guide (owned by Primedia, Inc.) serves as a resource for visitors
who often are not only looking for a new place to live, but are
also searching for a new job in a new city. Headhunter.net gives
these visitors an online channel within ApartmentGuide.com to
hunt for jobs and post resumes. Headhunter.net will also be featured
offline in Apartment Guide magazine.

9 network-affiliated television stations across the country, seven
of which have websites. Each site posts a link to a career center
powered by Headhunter.net, where job seekers can post resumes
and employers can post jobs.
NewsChannel5
-TV (CBS) (a division of the News Channel 5 Network, owned by
Landmark Communications, Inc.) in Nashville, Tennessee is an online
resource for the station's viewers. Headhunter.net will power
the Newschannel5.com career center, allowing users to search for
jobs, post jobs, browse resumes or post resumes online.
"Specifically
visitors to each of these websites now have access to Headhunter.net's
