With a talent shortage trend worldwide, we understand how critical it is to capture top performers where they are spending most of their time online – social networks, blogs, content sites, etc. Therefore, our motto this year is “Brining Jobs to the People.” This means we diligently spent time building our partner network (that already includes LinkedIn, MySpace and 5,000 other sites) to create new channels for reaching these active and passive job seekers.
