The partnership provides companies with direct access to U.S. and Pan Asian job seekers including candidates in Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines and Australia.
Through the partnership companies will also benefit from Headhunter.net and JobDB.com’s more than 200 combined alliances including Yahoo!(R), Lycos, MSN, and SingNet that attract millions of job seekers.
The expansion of the new economy into global markets has created a demand for quality candidates both here and abroad, said Ron Self, COO for Headhunter.net. Through our partnership with JobsDB, Headhunter.net gains additional revenue opportunities and a strong foothold in this key geographic area while expanding our clients’ reach to this rapidly growing and competitive market.
The partnership between Headhunter.net and JobsDB is a testament to the rapid growth attributed to the online Asian market. According to Standard Media International, close to 173 million people in the Asia-Pacific region will go online this year. By 2003 the Asia-Pacific region will account for 37 percent of the world’s online population. Additionally, according to Workforce Magazine, many U.S.-based firms caught in the talent crunch are extending their searches outside America to find workers.
Our alliance with Headhunter.net is a milestone for our business development, said Nelson Poon, COO for JobsDB.com. This exciting move will enable our clients to reach the vast profile of job seekers in North America, which is especially useful for companies who require professionals with international experience and exposure.
