Indianapolis, IN – October 19, 2009 – Responding to member requests the DirectEmployers Association is helping member companies and job seekers connect more quickly with each other without the filter and costs of a third party commercial enterprise.
“Even in a tight economy there are over 3 million jobs available in the US economy. Job seekers need to be able to locate these jobs and feel they have a legitimate place to apply. What better place to apply for a job than with the actual company who is doing the hiring?” stated, Bill Warren, DirectEmployers Association’s Executive Director.
DirectEmployers, a non-profit association comprised of more than 70% of America’s Fortune 500 companies, is helping members by making their job offerings easier for job seekers to find through searches on Google, Yahoo, Bing and other major search engines. Utilizing Search Engine Optimization (SEO), eighty-two (82) companies including Kodak, Providence Healthcare, and McGraw Hill have taken advantage of this free SEO solution. When a job seeker searches for a job with any of these companies he or she will now be able to go straight to the corporate career site and apply directly to the company.
SEO has been a buzz word in the internet Web 2.0 world and recruitment organizations within the leading US companies have been trying to find an inexpensive way to test the waters. They understand that they need to find more ways to make sure their jobs can be found.
Tom Eckhart, Direct Employers Association’s Vice President, says, “Instead of going to a vendor and spending a minimum of $10,000 or hiring additional overhead in house, our members come to us for SEO, Federal Contractor Job Listing Compliance, and many other solutions. Direct Employers Association is a member owned and operated Human Resources trade association focusing on making recruiting more effective and efficient.”
