Vancouver, Canada - Aug 16, 2006:
Hcareers, the dominant job board for the hospitality and restaurant-and-foodservice industry and a subsidiary of onTargetjobs, announced that it has renewed its existing partnership with the National Restaurant Association for an additional five years. This partnership will see the continuation of the resources offered by Hcareers to Association members that address the ongoing challenges of recruiting and retaining employees for the industry.
Since 2002, Hcareers has provided National Restaurant Association members an online recruitment resource specifically for their industry. Association members receive discounts on job postings that are delivered to the ever expanding Hcareers network of partner career centers, including those of the Association, participating state restaurant associations and recently, the bizjournals’ regional business journal sites. With Hcareers, Association members are able to access the largest pool of restaurant and foodservice candidates with an end result of a reduced hiring cycle and lower cost per hire.
"Over the past several years Hcareers has proven to our members that they are the number one job board for the restaurant industry," says Steven C. Anderson, president and CEO of the National Restaurant Association. "We are very pleased to extend our agreement since Hcareers offers our members the most cost-effective solution to solving their recruitment challenges."
"Our extended partnership renewal with the premier restaurant association in the United States is a testimony to the value Hcareers brings to the restaurant industry," says Karen MacPherson, CEO of Hcareers. With the restaurant industry's role as a critical training ground for millions of Americans of every demographic background and its expected growth expected to surpass the half-trillion dollar mark in sales, Hcareers is proud to provide the National Restaurant Association and its members, a cost-effective and flexible solution to one of the most important recruitment challenges facing the restaurant industry today."
