North Vancouver, BC - May 05, 2003:
Hcareers.com, the dominant job site for the restaurant and hospitality industry, has agreed to purchase the domain and user data from RestaurantManagers.com for an undisclosed price.
The agreement means that Hcareers.com will increase its site traffic by 300,000 page views per month. It now receives five times more site traffic than any other job board in the restaurant and hospitality industry. Hcareers.com has also acquired over 8,000 new restaurant job seeker registrations and resumes from across the nation. Hcareers.com will be offering its full range of products to all of RestaurantManagers.com's past customers.
With 3.1 million job seeker visits per month, Hcareers.com offers employers the most cost-effective way to reach restaurant and hospitality-specific job seekers who are looking for opportunities online. Meanwhile, job seekers can search thousands of openings across the country, by state, metro area or position category. More than 7,500 current openings have been posted in the last 45 days alone.
"The job board industry will continue to consolidate," said David Curry, CEO and president at Hcareers.com. "The economic advantages of being the number one job board are significant. Let's face it, why would anyone want to advertise for staff in the second biggest newspaper in town? Our acquisition of RestaurantManagers.com continues to ensure that Hcareers attracts the most restaurant and hospitality job seekers than any other job board."
