Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) June 2, 2006—NAS Recruitment Communications, a recognized leader in the specialized field of human resource communications, announced today it has partnered with Talent Networks to deliver the new “Jobs2Web” Search Engine Optimization (SEO), ensuring its nearly 5,000 clients the latest in next-generation internet recruiting solutions.

With more job seekers initiating searches on the main search engines such as Google and Yahoo!, companies must ensure their jobs are optimized for search engine indexing in order to drive traffic directly back to their career sites. The new Jobs2Web service extracts and reconfigures a company’s job content so it can be easily indexed and submitted to the major search engines. The result extends any company’s online advertising strategy beyond job board advertising, allowing it to drive candidate traffic directly back to its jobs and career sites for application into its ATS systems.

Another plus for NAS clients: The Jobs2Web system not only optimizes each job, but also submits the updated jobs list to the major search engines such as Google and Yahoo! as well as to the free online career sites such as SimplyHired, Indeed.com, and Google Base. John Stepien, Co-Chairman of NAS Recruitment Communications, stated, “We are excited to offer this new Jobs2Web service to our clients, who have been asking about how they can maximize their investment in their own career sites and how they can build their own candidate communities online. The Jobs2Web service will extend our clients’ online recruiting efforts and help them build long-term recruiting resources that will help them to meet the hiring demands for their companies.”

For job seekers, the Jobs2Web service features an online email subscription service which allows them to electronically receive matching job opportunities and company newsletters. This powerful feature also allows companies to build their own online candidate database of passive job seekers who will then be emailed job opportunities matching their interests and invitations to return the companies’ sites to apply. Once a company builds its own database of online seekers, it will establish a significant communication tool between itself and the candidate community.

“There is a large trend towards job seekers starting their job searches on the major search engines, versus only searching the major job boards such as Monster, HotJobs and Careerbuilder,” said Doug Berg, CEO of Talent Networks. “With just the top 20 job-oriented keywords, there are over 10 million searches being done on Google and Yahoo! alone each month. But most companies are unaware of this online opportunity.”
