Headhunter.net
Teams Up With Two Websites In The Small Business Sector
Partnerships
Benefit Both Job Posters And Job Seekers.
NORCROSS, GA -- 11/13/2000 -- Headhunter.net (NASDAQ:HHNT), a
leading national online recruiting and job awareness site, announced
today two co-branding partnerships with small business outlets:
SmartAge.com and SmallBusinessDepot.com. Headhunter.net will provide
the sites’ visitors with job search capabilities, as well
as the option to post jobs and resumes.
An
IDC Small Business Overview from 1999 shows that the small business
marketplace is growing rapidly. Of the nearly 8 million companies
in the United States (defined as having less than 100 employees)
more than 25% have reported a 10% or higher increase in revenue
in the last year. The study also shows the small business sector
is actively looking for cost-effective business services that
deliver a high return on investment, such as the ones offered
by Headhunter.net.
“Headhunter.net’s focus on the small business sector
helps smaller companies compete with larger companies when it
comes to searching for job candidates and posting job openings,”
said Bob Montgomery, Headhunter.net’s President and CEO.
“These partnerships strengthen Headhunter.net’s position
as the leader in the small business sector, while giving our new
partners quicker, easier and more cost-effective access to more
than 1 million job candidates and resumes online.”
According
to the Small Business Buying Power Surveys, 82% of small businesses
are now using the Internet, that’s compared to just 10% five
years ago.
"Small
businesses around the world turn to SmartAge.com to help them
sell their products and services, and in so doing make the best
use of their time, resources and money," said Francois Lavaste,
Vice President of Marketing of SmartAge.com. "Finding qualified
workers is a key to their success so we are pleased to offer Headhunter.net
in our Marketplace."
"As
an online marketplace that increases the revenue-generating opportunities
available to small business owners, SmallBusinessDepot.com is
committed to also putting useful resources at the fingertips of
business owners, to enable them to capitalize on new business,
" said JoAnn Laing, president and CEO of SmallBusinessDepot.com.
"Headhunter.net's career services offer invaluable resources
to our customers."
