DirectEmployers.com to Provide iLogos Staffing Management Research and Best Practices to Its Member Companies

Indianapolis, IN, May 30, 2002 – E-Recruiting Association, a non-profit organization formed by executives from leading U.S. corporations, today announced that DirectEmployers.com, the Internet’s first cooperative, employer-owned search engine dedicated exclusively to employment, has finalized an agreement with iLogos Research, the leading research and consulting firm covering online human capital management (HCM) trends and best practice methodologies, to provide select iLogos research and best practice studies to its member companies. Ray Schreyer, president of E-Recruiting Association, made the announcement.

“One of the E-Recruiting Association’s key objectives is to keep its membership informed about state of the art technologies and best practices and allow them to share this information with human resource professionals responsible for human capital management and the employment processes,” said Mr. Schreyer. “iLogos has been providing primary data trends and analysis about effective online recruiting and staffing practices since 1997, and we are thrilled to offer our members information about job seeker preferences, best recruiting practices and applications to help them more efficiently find, attract and retain the most qualified talent.”

Founder and President of iLogos Research Yves Lermusiaux stated, “Web site traffic is critical to the success of an organization’s corporate Internet recruiting and DirectEmployers helps to enhance this process by linking jobseekers directly to multiple, leading Corporate Careers Web sites. Once these potential employees are connected to the appropriate Web site, corporations should then do everything in their power to effectively optimize the experience of the interested party.”

Mr. Lermusiaux added, “Our research not only focuses on best practices for the Corporate Careers Web site – the front end – but also discusses the integration of sophisticated back-end features and functionality to effectively manage important Internet benefits relating to staffing, such as pre-screening. We believe that our research offering will provide the E-Recruiting Association members with the business intelligence strategies they need to optimize human capital assets and bring significant savings to the bottom-line for their respective companies.”
