SmartPost’s Customer Focus Drives Greater Reach & Innovation

New Media Partnerships Deliver More Recruiting Opportunities for Clients

NEW YORK CITY, NY— AUGUST 30, 2010 — SmartPost, the innovative online job posting and sourcing product from Bernard Hodes Group, further expands its reach and targeting for customers by continuing to ask how SmartPost can help meet their recruiting challenges in the most efficient way possible.

“What sets SmartPost apart, beyond leading the industry in the number and variety of sourcing channels we offer, is that everything we do stems from constantly asking, what can we do to support our customers to acquire and manage talent more effectively and efficiently,” said Carmen Doherty, vice president and senior director for SmartPost. “That type of thinking is built into our culture and has been the main influencer in driving our technology and media partnerships.”

SmartPost is one of the most innovative and far-reaching examples of combined consulting, creativity and technology to serve the recruitment industry. The award-winning job posting and sourcing intelligence system continues to become more robust, expansive and user-friendly, and has evolved from a stand-alone job distribution tool to a comprehensive sourcing platform. The SmartPost platform allows companies to optimize their jobs in a multitude of ways outside of job board listings such as RSS feeds and recruiting widgets, to those that complement a social media strategy or use the SmartPost technology to deliver best-in-class career site and candidate experiences.

“The SmartPost concept is simple—everything from product innovation to our strategic consulting for unique customer challenges is geared toward making sourcing easier, faster, more productive and incredibly cost-effective for our clients,” said Shawna Berthold, vice president of marketing for SmartPost. “It’s that combination of knowledge and dedication that makes SmartPost far more than a job posting system.”

SmartPost’s strong foundation with media also continues to drive additional sourcing channels for its customers. Every month SmartPost adds a diverse group of media properties to its ever expanding library. Here are just a few that have joined the SmartPost’s e-media family of late:
