More than 10 years ago, JobCircle was a niche IT job board. Now, it serves all industries in the mid-Atlantic region and recently earned its second consecutive User’s Choice Award from Weddie’s, the leading publisher of print guides to job boards. More than 50,000 ballots were cast for sites vying for the award, which is bestowed upon only 30 job boards globally.
”With over 50,000 job boards and career portals on the Web, we are happy that both jobseekers and recruiters find value in our site,” says JobCircle VP of Marketing Marisa Cogan.
The West Chester-based company, which was honored along with nationally recognized job boards like Monster, Indeed and CareerBuilder, boasts 550,000 members and averages over 1,000 new resume submissions daily. But it’s more than a job board. For the last six years, it has hosted large and well-known job fairs in the region. Cogan says that because JobCircle is a local company, it gets to know clients on a personal level.
”They are not just a username to us, as may be the case with other job boards,” she says. ”We are also very cost efficient and effective. When recruiters are looking for a local candidate they can be assured that they are not wasting any of their budget targeting national candidates.”
Quarterly and annual job board memberships on JobCircle include unlimited job postings. Jobseekers can take advantage of e-mail blasts to save time on circulating their resumes and also utilize VoiceIntro, which allows them to record a 60-second audio introduction to their resume.
