" Buzz,

I wanted to let you know how happy I have been with Chattanoogahasjobs.com. I have received over 100 resumes for my postings I have put on the site. I have had wonderful candidates come into my office from this site. It has paid for itself already this year. This has been a wonderful addition to my advertising budget that I do not mind having. Another thing that I really like is that it is very easy and convenient. I do not have time to sit for 30 minutes and do a posting and this really cuts down on time. It is very efficient."

" Rod, Thank you! I wanted to share this success story with you and thank you again for posting our CFAO opening on careerlink.com. Looking forward to doing more good work together!"

" Just wanted to let you know that Trinity Hospice just hired our first candidate straight from you website. I absolutely love working on the job postings and being able to create a library of job descriptions. Your website saves me each time I post something. Not only in money but the time it takes to pull from the library, post the position, review the candidates and then close the posting is just awesome.

I also wanted to thank you for checking in on us from time to time and giving me a little helpful tidbit each time you call. You’re not only the only Buzz that I know but you are the only sales guy that I actually have fun speaking to.

Thanks again for helping me find something this great,"

" The site is working like gang-busters… We posted a position just yesterday and already have 10 inquires!! Thanks!"

" Laura, You all are so far ahead of the curve. I was asking Monster and Career Builder for this (a new KATRINA symbol to add to any posting at our discretion) a week ago. They still haven’t given us anything!"

" Careerlink continues to be good to me. Of the 7 new hires I brought on, 6 originated from Careerlink."

" I just wanted to compliment you on your jobslink website. Over the years I have applied for jobs on the site and have been successful in acquiring 2 jobs (one which I currently have and enjoy). Thanks so much for providing such a great service to those looking for jobs. You literally changed my life!"

" We did hire from an applicant that saw the ad on your site. Your site was very helpful in our search for a good candidate. Thank you for your help."

" We were extremely happy with the response from the Chattanooga and surrounding areas. We did fill the nurses position from the advertisement."

" We have been very pleased with the service and response we get from Careerlink. I have not yet found a more effective tool for hiring quality staff anywhere else in Nebraska."

" The response from the website listing (for Athletic Trainer) was great! I have managed to find someone who is going to help me with the business. Thanks for everything."

" We filled our position we posted (for an Office Manager) with an applicant who applied via your site. Thank you very much for this service."

" I was overwhelmed with the response after posting an ad on your web-site. In just days I had received over seventy resumes. I will certainly use your service again when searching for new employees."

" The results from the ad posting were outstanding. I made a quality hire for our Sales Associate as a direct result of the ad on ChattanoogaHasJobs.com. Thank you."

" I am VERY happy with the system. Out of the 29 responses we received (for a Staff Engineer position), 14 were qualified and 4 were very qualified. That is an outstanding ratio. I will use your service again as we continue to grow."

" Careerlink has enhanced the University’s recruiting process, and assisted in attracting qualified regional and national administrative and faculty candidates."

" I wanted to provide this brief testimonial about how much my program has benefited from using careerlink.org in finding employees.

The last three people that I have hired have come as a result of careerlink. I have only been a subscriber for three weeks, but the amount of qualified candidates that I was able to reach was wonderful. Two of the three employees are as a result of using your resume database to find the right person for my openings. I was able to look at many different resumes of people looking for a job in my industry -- childcare. The tool to add resumes to a favorites list helped me to track the progress that I had made on each employee. The most recent addition to my program came from a teacher looking for jobs in the childcare field. She used it to find out what jobs were available and sent me a resume via e-mail. As soon as I found the e-mail, I was able to contact her, set up an interview, and offer her the job. She accepted. My subsciption so far as been invaluable as it has given me the confidence to eliminate my print advertising all together if I choose to do so.

I would highly recommend careerlink to others in the childcare field as well as other fields of occupation.

Thank you careerlink!"

" I have been swamped with resumes which was definitely a plus! I was able to fill my vacant position (Customer Support Analyst) fairly quickly. I will certainly use your site again in the future."

" It’s been great! The call center has hired all of its employees since we started using Spokanehasjobs. We have hired good quality people from the site."

" I have hired two new employees from the same ad! This makes the third employee we’ve hired from your site. I will always use ChattanoogaHasJobs.com for all my hiring ads."

" This summer alone I have hired 2 tellers from KCHASJOBS!"

" I love it, we have had phenomenal responses. The last ad we put up had 35 responses, even better than what we get from the newspaper. It is nice to get the jobs immediately up on the site and not having to fax the opening in, I can do it by myself and make any changes. We have had very good luck and a lot of responses. I like being able to pull the jobs when we have had enough responses to the position."

" I like the site, it’s easy to put the jobs on. It’s real good, it is easier to have the applications on-line then on paper, because I can just forward them to the head office by email."

" We have received a lot of response from the site."

" It is very easy to use. I like looking at the statistics and the resumes, viewing the responses is pretty cool too."

" I am referring all the people who I know who are job-seeking to your site. I think it is the best job resource in Chattanooga and I have been sharing that with the HR people I know."

" Once again I was successful in filling a job position with an applicant who responded to the job posting on "Chattanoogahasjobs.com". This medium is working great for our Firm when looking for new employees ! ! ! !"

" We filled our intern position using our posting on ChattanoogaHasJobs.com! The student is attending Southern Adventist University - majoring in graphics design - and started this week. We actually had two great applicants from SAU in addition to several other applications."

" We are fortunate that you and the Chamber made this recruitment option available. We are pleased with the exposure and happy with the results."

" It is great that job-seekers and employers in rural areas such as Rhea County can access the same on-line services available to urban residents. The Chattanooga Chamber web site is one of the first resources offered to Dayton Regional Career Center customers. It is so user friendly that even novice computer users have been able to successfully utilize the site."

" Our response from your site has been terrific!!!! We have received SO many resumes!!!! Actually of the final four candidates, 3 came from ChattanoogaHasJobs.com. It was a terrific response!!!! Thanks so much!"

" ODI is up and running, and we are definitely utilizing the site. Today I received a resignation at about 2 P.M. By 3 o’clock we had pulled the job description, drafted an ad and begun the posting process. At 4:17 P.M. - just two hours after the resignation - we had our first resume. And the candidate has respectable qualifications. Thanks to you and the Chamber!"

" For professional level positions, we use careerlink first before any other media. Careerlink is much more flexible than other forms of advertising - we can get our jobs posted quickly and remove them quickly when they are filled."

" The Blair Community Schools have found CareerLink to be one of our most effective tools in the recruitment of teachers for our District. This year we filled 24 positions and had applications from California to New York, in addition to several foreign countries. We would not have had this type of exposure without the services provided by AIM and CareerLink. In fact, I just received an inquiry from a teacher in Isa Town, Bahrain today. We hired a teacher from Japan earlier this year who found our ad on Career Link. Well over one third of the inquiries we have had for teaching positions have come to us as a result of our posting of positions via the internet!"

" As I watched the demonstration of Chattanoogahasjobs.com, I immediately thought it would be an excellent avenue for our students, leaving their studies or graduation, to make information about themselves available to potential employers."

" I am pleased to inform you that the UTC Placement & Student Center has linked the Chamber’s Chattanoogahasjobs.com web site to our home page. I feel that this will be a very useful job search link for our students and alumni seeking positions in the Chattanooga area. The program is very user friendly and seems to work well. I attended the presentation on this program for the Chattanooga Chamber and feel that this is a great way for local employers to advertise their positions."

" As an industry leader and rapidly growing company, Excell Agent Services has consistently relied on an internet presence to help meet our ever changing needs. Our partnership with the AZ Chamber of Commerce and Arizonahasjobs.com has provided us this presence, while also allowing for ease of use and access to many on-line features.

" Through ongoing regional business support, FargoHasJobs uses the latest technology to bring qualified job candidates to your desktop. With increased competition for the best people, FargoHasJobs offers your organization an opportunity to reach more potential employees while leveraging your investments."

" We believe FargoHasJobs is an innovative, accessible, far-reaching option for our recruiting strategy."

" FargoHasJobs offers organizations premier recruitment opportunities in addition to stimulating local business and economic development. FargoHasJobs allows communities to publicize job opportunities to a previously untapped market"

" I have found FargoHasJobs to be a very beneficial part of our recruiting process. A recent job posting produced approximately 50 internet applications, about 30 of these resumes coming from out of the area. I would encourage both employers and potential candidates to discover the opportunities that FargoHasJobs can offer."

" We have gotten tremendous out of state exposure to our listings on CareerLink. For one position, the top four candidates responded from outside of Nebraksa!"

" The fourth day that the Jobslink site went up I posted for a sales position for our Nashville operations. I received a total of 10 resumes for the position from the site and we have offered the position to one of those candidates. I was pleased with the immediate response as well as the quality of canididates that responded. It was great to see that all the resumes that I received reflected candidates that were currently located in Nashville or were planning to move to Nashville.

This was spectacular. The last time we hired for such a position the price tag was $13,000.

Congratulations and thanks to the Nashville Chamber for creating such a strong community tool for local businesses."

" The resumes that I have received from JobsLink have been excellent. Job seekers from Florida to California who have targeted Nashville as a relocation destination submitted resumes for our position. These job seekers would never have connected to our open position if it weren’t for JobsLink! A community based on-line job system is a powerful recruiting tool."

" Incredible functionality on your site! I love these newly added features for submitting comments! Keep up the good work!"

" The person we hired did come through CareerLink and was about as close a match as you could ask for!!! From that standpoint, I would use CareerLink again in an instant."

" We have filled our intern position. Our candidate applied through CareerLink. Thanks for your help. You brought us a large number of applicants and we found some very well-qualified individuals in the group."

" We searched the CareerLink database and found Patti s resume while recruiting for a LAN Systems Manager. Here are her thoughts re: using CareerLink:

• Most IT people know that positions are listed on-line vs. the newspaper;
• Prospective employers can e-mail you and that is usually more discreet than phone calls and faxing resumes;
• You can look at information on the company with links from that Web site;
• There is usually a good job description on the site.

"

" I can t say enough about CareerLink! I have found it to be an excellent way to recruit qualified individuals. Within the last six months, I have hired eight people directly from the site. I have filled quite a variety of positions as well, including executive assistants, payroll assistant, commercial bankers, business analysts and a LAN support manager.

Recruiting qualified individuals in a tight labor market, such as Omaha, is challenging enough. CareerLink provides employers with an effective tool that is a must in today s world of recruitment. Not only can we post positions and have candidates apply on line, we have the opportunity to search a resume database. Although a majority of the individuals are local, we have hired individuals from as far away as California and Texas. In addition, we receive resumes from all over the world.

I would encourage any employer in Omaha to take advantage of CareerLink."

" I am very happy with results so far. We filled an IT position faster than normal!!!. I really appreciate the capability to look at the hits on our page. It s quite exciting. Thanks!"
