MARTINS FERRY – Looking for a new employee with the right skills for the job? Tired of posting ads on all the suggested employment sites, with results that don’t meet your expectations? Or are you in the job market and tired of the endless searching for a new job that matches your skill set?

If that has become the norm for your company’s recruiting efforts, or for you as a job-seeker, then there is hope, as The Times Leader has teamed with RealMatch to give employers and job hunters more control – and better results – from their online job searches.

The newspaper, the leading publication serving Eastern Ohio both in print and online, has launched jobs.timesleaderonline.com, an online job-seeking service that utilizes cutting-edge technology and targeted network distribution to ensure employers’ job postings are reaching the right candidates.

Employers who post jobs on The Times Leader’s new job board, jobs.timesleaderonline.com, receive unprecedented reach to top professionals within the Upper Ohio Valley and also on the TheJobNetwork, the largest recruitment ad network of job sites in North America that provides up to four times better response than the leading national job board.

TheJobNetwork reaches millions of active and passive job seekers monthly across the internet on local, niche and vertical job sites, as well as on social networks. To ensure your firm receives the most qualified responses from the best candidates, jobs posted on jobs.timesleaderonline.com are automatically optimized, distributed and monitored as part of targeted ad campaigns.

What that means is your job listing will receive higher rankings in search results on search engines and paid job sites, resulting in an increase in qualified responses of 200 percent, on average. In addition, the new site allows hiring managers to save time with job matching, which automatically screens, grades and ranks applicants, as well as returns qualified passive job seeker matches in real-time from the site’s resume database.

“We are pleased to offer RealMatch to our local businesses,” said Perry Nardo, regional manager of The Times Leader. “We believe this will assist local companies in finding the best candidates for their openings while also saving time – something that every manager can appreciate.”

The Times Leader’s job board also offers job seekers an enhanced user experience by instantly matching job seekers to open postings based on their skill set, experience and preferences — eliminating the need for tedious keyword searching and browsing through hundreds of irrelevant job postings.

Since jobs.timesleaderonline.com is part of TheJobNetwork, job seekers also have access to job matches from any of the thousands of network sites. Job seekers who register on jobs.timesleaderonline.com can view relevant job matches and apply in real-time from their online account and via the jobs.timesleaderonline.com job seeker mobile app. This allows job-seekers to spend less time searching for the right position and more time applying for jobs.
