GLOBECAREERS.COM E-CRUITES CANADIAN JOB BOARD
By Adnews Staff
Globecareers.com has acquired the CareerBridge.com job board from E-Cruiter.com. This acquisition follows the partnership announcement made less then a month ago between Globe Information Services, which operates globecareers.com, and Torstar Corp, which will acquire a 40 per cent stake in the globecareers.com Web site. CareerBridge.com is a Canadian, regionally-focused employment site that concentrates on high tech jobs and candidates in the Ottawa region. The addition of CareerBridge.com to globecareers.com, expected to take place by the end of November, will increase the number of job postings and reportedly double the number of resumes available to recruiters at the Globe's site. The partnership between Globe Information Services and Torstar Corp. will see the site again double in size by the end of the year, the company said. E-Cruiter.com Inc. provides recruiting services through its Web-hosted subscription service. Financial details of the acquisition were not disclosed.
