Fast-Growing Company to Use CareerScribe`s Unique Platform to Assist in
Evaluating Candidates
INDIANAPOLIS--(Business Wire)--
CareerScribe, the first Web site to bridge the gap between traditional job
boards and social networking, will provide on-demand email and one-to-one
marketing solutions provider ExactTarget new resources to evaluate job
candidates. 

CareerScribe`s technology allows companies to interact with job candidates
online through its software as a service platform that offers a host of human
resources tools including online communications and interaction management.
Hiring managers can invite candidates to create a CareerScribe profile that
includes a video introduction, career goals, job flexibility, supporting
documents and a resume. These profiles are then used by hiring managers to make
well-informed decisions about candidates, thus reducing the amount of time spent
in the interviewing process. 

ExactTarget, which plans to hire more than 100 additional new associates this
year, will initially use CareerScribe to evaluate technical candidates for its
Solutions Consulting Group. 

"We`re excited to be working with ExactTarget and to provide them with a
powerful method that will considerably reduce the amount of time spent
evaluating and pursuing the most qualified candidates," said Jeff Bockelman,
founder and president of CareerScribe. "I know from experience how much time can
be invested during the first round of the hiring process. As a professional
recruiter, I spent hours upon hours interviewing individuals who I knew within
the first few minutes of meeting were not going to be right for the position.
That is one of the reasons we founded CareerScribe." 

In addition to recruiting resources, CareerScribe`s platform also provides
companies with tools to simplify the performance management process for their
current employees. Employees can catalogue their current skill sets, goals and
track day-to-day accomplishments via CareerScribe`s exclusive CareerTracker
tool. The tool provides employees with an online career journal to highlight
major career accomplishments, upload supporting documents and store the
information on visual timelines. At the end of the year, the journal provides
both employees and managers rich documentation on accomplishments, making data
compilation for performance reviews easier. 

"CareerScribe provides yet another resource for us to leverage to build our
team," said Todd Richardson, ExactTarget`s vice president of human resources and
risk management. "The technology gives us additional tools to interact with
candidates across the country." 

CareerScribe is a career management system that enables candidates to catalogue,
maintain and share their career achievements and aspirations. For further
