AtlantaJobZone Hooks Up Local Employers and Job Seekers with 2006 Job Fair

Local Companies Available On-Site To Share Recruiting Challenges, Hiring Trends and Value of AtlantaJobZone.com Web Site

Atlanta - December 14, 2005 - AtlantaJobZone.com, one of the nation's fastest growing online recruiting companies, is bringing together local job seekers and employers today at its 2006 AtlantaJobZone Job Fair at the Renaissance Waverly Hotel. Some of the Atlanta area's top employers will be on-site - including AirTran Airways, JP Morgan & Chase Co., Verizon Wireless and Georgia Department of Labor - and will be hiring at all experience levels in call center fulfillment, retail, sales and marketing, accounting and more.

AtlantaJobZone, launched this September, expects its fast growing web site community and events to help streamline the employer-employee connection on a local level.

Filling new jobs is no new task for Atlanta-based TALENThire.com, a company to company job board that allows not only recruiters but also internal human resources to refer and post fee-approved positions and available candidates.

"In Atlanta, some of the toughest jobs to fill are in accounting and finance, especially financial and IT auditors," said Dave Krier, VP of sales and marketing at TALENThire.com. "With the competition for talent increasing in the coming year for the passive job seeker market, companies need any competitive advantage they can find to help with sourcing and screening potential job candidates."

Krier's company has used online recruiting site AtlantaJobZone.com to help with their own employment needs.

"We got slammed with resumes after posting a commercial sales position on AtlantaJobZone," said Krier. "There were more candidates to choose from than I was expecting."

Local retailer Sam Flax Art and Design Store found that AtlantaJobZone.com exceeded their expectations as well.

"I've used Monster in the past, but AtlantaJobZone is much easier, more user-friendly and has local advertising and relationships," said John Saltsman, general manager of Sam Flax.

It took Saltsman about five minutes to post a position on AtlantaJobZone.com, and he's used the site to fill four out of five permanent jobs in the last two months.

The AtlantaJobZone.com Job Fair takes place on Wednesday, Dec. 14, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at The Renaissance Waverly Hotel (2450 Galleria Parkway; Atlanta, GA 30339; 770-953-4500).

Media should RSVP to Van Holmes, 310-902-9457 / van.holmes@earthlink.net to speak with company executives and/or employers on Wednesday.
