TORONTO, Oct. 27 /CNW/ - CanWest MediaWorks announced today that, Canadian job seekers and employers now have a better way to find the right match. A new service, branded working will use the reach of CanWest MediaWorks' 11 major metro daily newspapers, its leading Global Television stations, specialty TV channels and the canada.com network to provide the most efficient meeting ground for recruiters and potential new employees.
At the heart of the new service, which goes live October 28th, will be an online career network of websites (working.canada.com) built the way job seekers and recruiters actually want it. "working will change the way recruiters and job seekers search each other out," explains Kim Peters, CanWest's Director of Online Careers. "This is a national career resource centre with a local focus." Employers will benefit by paying only for the searches they need, be it national, regional or local. Job seekers will benefit because the working online network is built from the local market up, rather than the national or international sites down. "Our research shows that 92% of people looking for jobs are searching at the local level," explained Peters. "The unique strength of this service is that it will start where people want to start looking, in their own backyard."
working will also become the brand for career sections in all CanWest's metropolitan daily newspapers, the largest, by circulation, of any newspaper group in English Canada. Recruiters will be offered the additional benefit of the working online service in addition to their in-paper ad placements whether they book the traditional way or online. "No other newspaper in Canada will be able to offer the type of additional services available through working, such as a full suite of tools to filter results and narrow the flow of resumes," added Peters. "Not to mention the incredible boost this program will get through a national multi-media promotional campaign launched to support working." Job seekers will also benefit by being able to search specific regions, find locally-oriented career news and features and market specific salary surveys.
