North Vancouver, BC - Nov 03, 2004:
Hcareers (http://www.hcareers.com), North America's dominant online job board for the hospitality and restaurant industry, has just launched two new industry specific homes within Hcareers.com and Hcareers.ca, called "Restaurant Jobs" and "Hospitality Jobs". These two homes have been created to better service job seekers and employers within two of the major markets within the hospitality industry. A third and final sub-site "Retail Jobs" is planned to launch in Spring 2004.
These new sub-sites have been designed to assist restaurant and hospitality job seekers identify even more relevant industry specific job ads, and employers identify higher quality candidates for their job postings.
"Our success to date has come from industry focus", says David Curry, president & CEO of Hcareers. "Splitting Hcareers into even more industry specific sub-sites is a natural evolution for us in order to increase our service levels to employers and job seekers."
"Internally we will also be focusing our sales and marketing efforts based on industry segment more than ever before, which will only strengthen our number one position in the market place," added Curry.
In addition to these changes, Hcareers will broaden the selection of existing links, newsletters, and position categories specific to each industry. These focused services will provide employers and job seekers with more value related to their industry of choice.
All jobs and resumes posted in "Hospitality Jobs" or "Restaurant Jobs" will be cross-searchable in both home areas, ensuring that users maintain the ability to search "the most restaurant & hospitality jobs and job seekers ... anywhere", which is Hcareers' tag line.
Hcareers receives over 3 million hospitality job seeker visits per month; three times more than their nearest competitor, in addition to 10,000 jobs posted in the last 45 days; more than all three top generalist job boards combined.
