CareersInFood.com Posts Third Year of Growth

    SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Feb. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- When it comes to job searching,
it's all about finding your niche. That's the premise behind CareersInFood.com
(http://www.careersinfood.com), the largest employment Web site serving the food and
beverage manufacturing industry. With over 8,000 active job candidates, steady
yearly growth, and revenues that have nearly tripled since 2000,
CareersInFood.com seems to have found its own niche.
    Founded by Wade Palmer and Jim Crumpley, two veteran executive recruiters
who saw the need for niche industry Web sites, CareersInFood.com is the
flagship site for CareerSpecific.com's Niche Employment Website Technology(TM)
(NEWT, newt.careerspecific.com), the state-of-the-art engine that powers niche
employment sites, including CareersInFood.com sister sites BeverageCareers.com
and EHSCareers.com.
    Palmer, who was an executive recruiter for the food and beverage
manufacturing industry for over 25 years before starting CareersInFood.com,
predicts niche employment sites like CareersInFood.com will outlast the
massive "something for everyone" job sites. "According to Forrest Research,
Reuters and U.S. News and World Report, niche employment sites are more
effective, efficient and focused on attracting top talent than are large
generalist sites," he explained. "Growth in the niche employment site industry
has exploded and will continue to do so because large generalist sites simply
cannot deliver quality candidates without also delivering thousands of
unqualified job seekers. It is also an exciting and lucrative business
venture, so I believe we can expect to see many more niche employment sites
popping up in the coming years."
    CareersInFood.com caters to candidates, who use the service free of
charge, as well as employers and recruiters. Job seekers have unlimited access
to all job postings and can post resumes and detailed confidential profiles.
For a small monthly fee, employers and recruiters can post unlimited jobs and
perform highly specific searches to find just the right candidates. The site
also features discussion boards, expert advice, industry headlines, the
Recruiter Exchange (a networking board for recruiters), and a College
Recruiting section that will be added in March 2004.
    The results: Last month alone, the 8,000+ active candidates registered
with CareersInFood.com reviewed over 50,000 jobs. Employers and recruiters
reviewed resumes over 26,000 times, and 76,000 people visited the site between
January 1 and January 31, 2004.
    "There are a few similar sites out there, but none that really compare to
CareersInFood.com," said Brian Cain, Director of Web Development for
CareerSpecific.com LLC. "Every month sees more jobs posted and more candidates
registered. That just means more than greater revenues for CareerSpecific.com;
it also means better jobs for food and beverage manufacturing experts to
choose from and a more diverse candidate pool for employers and recruiters to
draw from. Everyone wins."
