  MINNEAPOLIS, MN and TORONTO, Mar 24 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Jobs2Web, a Web 2.0 interactive recruiting solutions provider, and
CareerDoor Inc., recruitment solutions specialists, today announced an
agreement between the companies. Under the terms of the agreement,
CareerDoor will represent Jobs2Web's solutions in Canada.

    Terri Joosten, CEO of CareerDoor, said, "A lot of our clients are taking
advantage of the economic downturn by using this time to examine and
refine their recruiting practices. With so many recruiters trying to
leverage Web 2.0 technologies and social networking sites like Twitter
and Facebook, putting a formal strategy in place now means companies will
have talent communities built and ready to go when hiring rebounds.
Jobs2Web is an integral part of this equation and we're excited to
represent their solutions in the Canadian market."

    Jobs2Web's Vice President of Sales, Brett Keirstead, commented,
"Regardless of the times, employers are trying to achieve two goals in
corporate recruiting: reduce costs and engage passive job seekers. In our
case, we enable companies to bring down their job board spend by taking
advantage of major search engines and social networking tools. Secondly,
our solutions create talent communities of active and passive job seekers
who remain engaged and ready to be tapped once the hiring green light
goes on."

    Both companies are known for their abilities to attract and engage
candidates using Web-based technologies. For example, CareerDoor recently
held eCareer Fairs that enabled recruiters to meet online, one-on-one with
almost 900 registered candidates. In the case of Jobs2Web, the company
recently welcomed its 100th customer as well as its 40th customer in the
healthcare vertical.

    Keirstead concluded, "Our companies share the common goals of working the
way the job seeker searches, as well as the way today's corporate
recruiters work. A winning formula has been created through our alliance
and we're looking forward to expanding our presence in the Canadian market
with CareerDoor."
