Expands Outreach To Health Care Industry; Partners with two health care
related websites
February 20, 2001 (ATLANTA)- Furthering its position as the leader in
the health care recruitment marketplace, Headhunter.net (NASDAQ: HHNT),
a leading online job awareness and recruiting site, today announced
co-branded partnerships with two web sites that service the health care
community -- RxWebportal.com and Medi-Smart.com. The partnerships provide
the sites' visitors with access to job search capabilities, as well
as the option to post jobs and resumes through Headhunter.net.
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows health care among the fastest growing segments in the workforce, currently employing 12 million people and providing job opportunities for as many as four million new employees over the next eight years. While the demand for health care workers is increasing, the available talent pool is decreasing, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association, by the year 2020, the number of registered nurses will be 20% short of demand. The shortages are also being felt in the pharmaceutical industry where industry observers are seeing a shortage of pharmacists nationwide.
"Through our acquisition of Miracleworkers.com, we have positioned Headhunter.net as the leader in the online health care recruiting market," said Bob Montgomery, President and CEO for Headhunter.net. "The addition of RxWebportal.com and Medi-Smart.com furthers our commitment to the industry to provide employers with quick access to qualified candidates and job seekers with better opportunities."
Medi-Smart.com provides in-depth information for health care professionals. Most of Medi-Smart.com's visitors are nurses who utilize the site as an educational destination as well as a community where they can exchange ideas with others in their field. With the addition of Headhunter.net, they will now have the ability to search for jobs and post their resume.
"Our goal is to provide exceptional quality, value, and service to our users," said Bud Ellis, CEO of Medi-Smart Corp. "We are delighted to be able to offer our users immediate access to the thousands of employer direct healthcare jobs through this partnership with Headhunter.net." RxWebportal.com is the web's premier portal site for pharmacy-related information. The site contains clinical information, as well as information about the drug industry, lobbying and legislative information and regulatory agency and physician/hospital listings. The partnership with Headhunter.net allows RxWebportal.com to provide its users with direct access to job searching and posting capabilities.
"As a portal, our job is to help pharmacists and others in the pharmaceutical industry find everything they need quickly and efficiently to help increase their knowledge and improve patient care," said Harold Eustache, President, CEO of RxWebportal.com. "By offering access to Headhunter.net, we are expanding our service to include a means for industry professionals to better manage their career."
