South Pasadena, CA and North Vancouver, BC - Jan 07, 2003:
Panda Express, the nation's largest Chinese quick-service chain, has posted job openings on Hcareers.com to support its rapid expansion with the recruitment of high quality staff.
Panda Express' trial of Hcareers.com earlier this year prompted a tremendous response. This resulted in Panda Express purchasing 100 job-postings on Hcareers.com, the biggest job site for the restaurant and hospitality industry. With the help of Hcareers.com, the company will staff 100+ new stores with managers.
Panda Express compared many different options, but selected Hcareers.com because of its restaurant focus. Panda Express can now reach more than 2.5 million job seekers a month, and target experienced, industry-specific candidates.
"In the short amount of time we've been posting jobs on Hcareers.com, Panda Express has already seen a return on investment," said Jana Frazier, Recruiter, at Panda Express. "The people applying for our jobs have strong track records in the food-service industry. Hcareers.com has proved itself as a higher caliber recruitment method."
"When companies compare us to the alternatives available, they find that Hcareers not only increases the quantity of resumes received, but also the quality," said David Curry, president and CEO of Hcareers.com. "By focusing strictly on restaurant and hospitality recruitment, our customers get experienced candidates that know the industry inside and out."
