“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."
