San Mateo, CA (PRWEB) May 24, 2005 — Today, HireAbility(r) launched its Premium Independent Agent (IA) program, an enhanced set of products and services for independent recruiters. The new program offers many advantages over those included with the Standard Independent Agent program, most notably, a subscription to CareerBuilder.com’s database of more than 11 million resumes.

Other Premium IA products and services include opportunities to earn higher commissions, as well as a HireAbility email address, a personalized e-brochure, and a set of marketing collateral that enables independent recruiters to get their businesses up and running quickly, with few barriers to entry.

HireAbility represents a fast-growing independent recruiting network, with its triple-digit growth in 2004. HireAbility and CareerBuilder.com are executing a number of joint marketing activities, including newsletters, articles, webinars, and best practices training events for HireAbility members. Staffing agencies who have fewer than 5 recruiters can subscribe to a Premium Recruiting Exchange package for access to CareerBuilder.com’s resume database, as well.

Craig Silverman, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing for HireAbility commented, “Our experiences have shown us that independent recruiters need more support and services than other associations or networks offer if they are going to be successful. Our Premium IA offering is much like having a turn-key recruiting business with your own administrative assistant, back office services and professional coach all rolled into one. Our guidance and help with the heavy lifting reduces the confusion and costs involved in starting a new business. Our recruiters ramp up faster because they have the tools and services that let them focus on what they do best - finding talent and filling open jobs.”

“CareerBuilder.com is the nation’s leading job board. Having access to their extensive resume database provides a significant advantage to our clients,” continued Silverman.

“We look forward to working with HireAbility on this new product offering to meet the increasing demands of this fast expanding marketplace,” said Tony Roy, Area Sales Manager for CareerBuilder.com.
