Virtual Employment Tours, TV and Radio segments Mark January 15 Launch of New CareerTours Website

Phoenix, Arizona -- January 16, 2007 -- CareerTours, a national recruitment resource, has launched a redesigned and enhanced website for clients and career seekers. With a new appearance and multimedia format, the website is both easy to use and filled with innovative content including radio and TV, “word of mouth” social networking, and more. CareerTours will also provide career seekers with experiences of potential employers. The new website can be viewed at http://www.careertours.com.


The CareerTours website has undergone significant enhancements in the areas of content, navigation, and design. Content additions include proactive and active career postings, employer radio and TV, an interactive calendar of events, and extensive city guides.


Proactive postings inform career seekers about upcoming positions that a company plans to post, but are not yet available, and are used to create waiting lists for recruiters. Active postings, used to recruit for open positions, have an “Application Deadline” much like eBay. The application deadline creates a sense of urgency and sets career seekers’ expectations for when the postings will be closed, encouraging applications in a desired timeframe for recruiters. The website will also have radio and TV included in its recruiting tool. Both will be uploaded directly to the site to allow companies to tell their stories.


One of the most unique features of the new website is the “Word of Mouth” marketing tool. Word of mouth marketing creates platforms for people to amplify information to others within their social networks. The CareerTours marketing tool will allow employers to share information with applicants (current and previous), and employees to share their employment messages within social networks. This is an innovative way for employers to reach passive career seekers and expand applicant pools.


“Our website is the first to unite careers, experiences, and the phenomenon of social networking. We make it easy for anyone interested in a new career to become acquainted with potential employers through experiences and to share those experiences with others,” said President & CEO Aaron Bare.



About CareerToursCareerTours (http://www.careertours.com/) is a “frictionless” organization that connects top talent to the best organizations. The mission of CareerTours is to be the #1 supplier of new talent to its clients and to be the best resource available for career seekers.

“Frictionless” Recruiting Uses Audio, Video and Slideshows to Match Employers and Candidates


Phoenix, Arizona, December 27, 2006 -- CareerTours, a national recruitment and marketing company, has developed a new way to recruit called “Frictionless Recruiting” that will provide employers with a revolutionary new way to recruit talent while minimizing the friction inherent in the recruiting process.

The innovative process will enable an organization to display its culture using web-based audio, slideshows, and video, as well as sharing a company’s organizational structure and management philosophy. The service will launch nationwide on January 15, 2007.

Frictionless Recruiting was developed by CareerTours’ CEO Aaron Bare, in response to a lack of effective onboarding techniques at companies he visited during his many years performing cultural assessments. “Generally, turnover is highest among first-year employees,” says Bare. “CareerTours helps mitigate many of the cultural and managerial shocks as neither companies nor candidates can hide during our tours.”

The “frictionless” CareerTours website allows companies to create an interactive career site where in addition to a job posting the company can record an audio message and upload videos, photos, and create slideshows that helps candidates and companies to experience each other and make the right career decisions. Companies may complement these virtual tours by offering more traditional on-site tours.

"We see ourselves partnering with all of our clients. Our only mission is to be the number one supplier of new talent to our clients and the best resource available for career seekers," states Eric Hawkins, a senior executive at CareerTours. "Our Frictionless Recruiting Model will allow both employers and career seekers to have the best recruiting experience possible, and has the potential to replace traditional interviews."
