The Good News: AllRetailJobs.com Expects Retailers to
Hire Millions of New Employees in 2009
Retailers leave "big three" job boards as they work to
reduce costs on candidate sourcing

North Miami Beach, FL (April 15, 2009) Whereas the news always concentrates on the negatives -- such as 'retailers eliminating more than 48,000 jobs in March' -- this still leaves 15 million people gainfully employed in the retail industry. And with an industry prone to high turnovers, hiring must continue. So, in spite of all the negative reports of the demise of the retail industry, AllRetailJobs.com expects retailers to still hire several million new employees in 2009.

With retailers seeking to reduce expenses, HR is always the first to suffer. Budgets for hiring and training new employees have been slashed, leading to a renewed search for better sourcing solutions. More and more retailers are reducing their reliance on the "'big three" boards and switching to the more affordable AllRetailJobs.com. In some cases major retailers are dropping all but one generalist board and purchasing unlimited job posting packages on AllRetailJobs.com at a fraction of the cost. Some have dropped all other boards and rely exclusively on AllRetailJobs.com.

"We have grown from being second banana to the generalist boards to emerge as a true contender," said Don Firth, president of AllRetailJobs.com. "We have a reputation for filling our clients' store management and hourly positions with candidates who have extensive experience in the retail industry. This greatly reduces training expense and provides retailers with improved customer service."

"Our direct traffic has grown to more than 750,000 retail candidates per month," added Firth. "By cross-posting to TopUSAJobs.com, Indeed.com and several major local and regional boards, our reach exceeds ten million seekers."

Financial Crisis Drives Overnight Traffic Increase
on AllRetailJobs.com and JobsInLogistics.com
Specialty job boards experience 30 percent increase
as employees seek alternative job opportunities

North Miami Beach, FL (Oct 20, 2008) As the financial meltdown became clear on October 6, many employees rushed to find new career opportunities in the retail and distribution/transportation industries. On this date, AllRetailJobs.com and JobsInLogistics.com marked a dramatic and sustained traffic increase of more than 30%.

Over the past nine years, job seeker traffic on both job boards has maintained a steady growth, with a 3% to 5% increase each month. However, immediately following the news of the proposed financial bailout, traffic increased overnight from 35,000 to more than 45,000 visitors per day and has continued at this new plateau.

AllRetailJobs.com is the #1 job board for retail careers and JobsInLogistics.com is the #1 board for distribution and transportation professions.

The sudden spike in traffic to these industry-specialized job boards is no accident. Manufacturing, supply chain, transportation, and retail companies, which rely on consumer credit to buy their products, are increasingly susceptible to a severe downturn in business and growth during an economic crisis. With the severe credit crunch propelling thousands of American companies toward an uncertain future, employees face a challenging dilemma – how to gain reassurance in their job security and continue to seek professional advancement in these uncertain times. For many, this means pursuing a safer position before being uprooted from their current job foundation.

"As the unemployment rate and job security concerns continue to rise, an explosion of qualified candidates are entering the market seeking a stable employment alternative," said Don Firth, President of AllRetailJobs.com and JobsInLogistics.com. "Fortunately, most major retailers and logistics companies post their jobs on our job boards, giving qualified candidates the best variety of new jobs to choose from."

"In turn," he added, "the marked increase in the number of experienced retail, logistics, transportation and manufacturing job seekers offers companies an opportunity to hire the best candidates for future growth."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ATS Sourcing Data - 83% Inaccurate
Survey of 63,000 Candidate Applications Confirms
Major Flaws in Applicant Tracking System (ATS) Sourcing Information.


NORTH MIAMI BEACH, FL (Oct 17, 2006) The leading topic of interest at the first annual IAEWS (International Association of Employment Web Sites) Congress in September was the gross inaccuracy of sourcing data reported by many leading ATS (Applicant Tracking System) providers. A recent White Paper issued by AllRetailJobs.com, the leading job board for the retail industry, confirms this adage. Based on the responses from a sample of 62,908 candidate applications, only 1 in 6 candidates correctly identified the job board from which they applied to the clients' jobs.

Whereas tracking systems may do a stellar job in tracking the progress of candidates through the hiring process, most rely on very basic and highly inaccurate drop-down boxes to identify which boards deliver the highest quality candidates. As the AllRetailJobs.com study shows, the ATS sourcing reports are meaningless. Unfortunately, as most companies rely on these reports to make strategic job board selection decisions, they are in danger of underutilizing their most successful sources of hire in favor of less focused boards.

"We conducted the study after finding significant differences between the number of candidates applying to jobs from AllRetailJobs.com and the reports produced by our clients' ATS providers," said Jake Firth, Vice President and CTO of AllRertaiJobs.com. "We simulated the typical drop down box format used by ATS providers and asked candidates to identify the source of hire. 62,908 completed responded to the question. As all candidates applied directly from AllRetailjobs.com, 100% should have chosen AllRetailJobs.com. Yet 5 out of 6 selected alternative sources - a staggering 83% inaccuracy."

The results of the survey showed that almost 50% of candidates chose not to specify the source, or select 'other.' Some chose Yahoo or Google, from which they may have originally clicked into AllRetailJobs.com. Some selected TopUSAJobs.com, on which jobs from AllRetailjobs.com are cross-posted. Some chose generalist boards, though none of the candidates came form these boards. And as an indication that candidates show little concern about the accuracy of their selection, hundreds chose highway billboards and television ads as their source.

Likely reasons for inaccurate selection include, apathy over surveys, confusing drop-down box formats, ambiguity over the question, reluctance to reveal the source and pandering to the potential employer by selecting 'corporate site.'

The solution to accurate tracking is to implement 'tracking tags'. These tags append to the application URL so that the ATS can verify the true source. Unfortunately, most ATS providers are unwilling to spend the time and expense to implant these. They are on record as stating that 'why should we spend the money if our clients aren't requesting this change.' But most ATS users naively assume that, as they have spent hundreds of thousands off dollars on a tracking system, the results should be accurate. Yet based on such a large sample of 63,000 responses, an 83% inaccuracy rating should spur companies to address the discrepancies and insist on 'tracking tags,' or switch ATS providers. They will then be able to determine which boards deliver the best candidates, leading to better purchasing decisions and higher quality hires.

AllRetailJobs.com Revenues Increase 100 percent in First Half of 2005
Retail Chains drive surge in job advertisements on niche retail job board; momentum expected to continue into 2006

AVENTURA, FL (Aug 31, 2005) AllRetailJobs.com, the largest job board serving the retail industry, announced today that sales rose 100 percent during the first half of 2005, compared to the same period a year earlier. The increase continues the company's rapid growth momentum since its launch in March 2001.

The strong growth comes amidst a slight upsurge in the retail industry and more robust hiring at several large national chains. But these firms are also scrutinizing more carefully than ever where they spend their recruiting dollars. As a result, some major retailers have dropped one of the generalist job boards to post on the more specialized AllRetailJobs.com, which offers a larger volume of highly qualified retail job seekers. AllRetailJobs.com has a record of attracting top retail candidates for a range of positions, including store managers, buyers, merchandisers, corporate executives and hourly associates.

"We clearly provide the best value for the money," said Don Firth, the president and chief executive officer of AllRetailJobs.com. "Job seekers who post on our Web site either have extensive experience in retail or know that they want to pursue a job in this sector. Companies looking for potentially great employees know they can depend on AllRetailJobs.com for quality."

Founded in March, 2001, AllRetailJobs.com now advertises 40,000 retail job opportunities and stores 150,000 resumes in its database. More than 5,500 retail clients have registered to post jobs or search resumes. These include 86% of the top 100 retailers.

"We expect continued strong growth through the remainder of 2005 and into 2006," Mr. Firth said. "Recruiters understand the importance of a highly targeted audience. The repeat business by our customers, year after year, and robust growth shows that we deliver results."

COVER STORY

In Down Economy,
Recruiters Turn Increasingly to Niche Boards

Last month Deb Browning, a veteran recruiter for National Career Connect, earned $70,000 in fees for placing eight people in managerial jobs for retail stores. She found all the candidates through AllRetailJobs.com.

It was the latest success for Ms. Browning, who changed her job board strategy last year. Ms. Browning opted to let subscriptions run out with several large generalist employment Web sites. Instead, she signed up with AllRetailJobs.com, a one year-old Miami-based enterprise. “It’s been a very profitable Web site for me,” says Ms. Browning, who is general manager of the San Antonio office for National Career, a full service job placement agency. “I’m finding more qualify people through AllRetailJobs.”

Faced with tight budgets and disappointing results from larger generalist job boards, many recruiters are turning to niche sites, which focus on specific industries, geographic regions or types of positions. The recruiters say the smaller sites help find candidates more quickly and efficiently than the big boards, which collect huge numbers of resumes and job listings in many fields. They say they’re not overwhelmed by as many poor quality resumes and that these smaller sites provide better service. Ms. Browning, for instance, phones the chief executives at AllRetailJobs when she has questions.

Ms. Browning is planning to stay the niche route course. She says AllRetailJobs proofreads the job descriptions she posts and once saved her several days of work by recoding a series of these listings. She’s so encouraged by her experiences with AllRetailJobs that she may even start using another niche board – albeit a large one – Dice.” If I called Monster, Headhunter.net or Flipdog, I’m just another person,” she says. “ AllRetailJobs knows me by name.”

With no real competition at the time, AllRetailJobs.com quickly rose to prominence, attracting more than 1,250 retailers and retail recruiters to use the board.”

As retailers found that they were quickly filling many positions, they posted dozens, and in some cases hundreds of jobs across the country. “AllRetailJobs.com is a great company and resource,” said Darrel Stewart, Recruiting manager at Toys “R” Us. “I like them a great deal better than HOTJOBS and MONSTER. We had 6 hires from the postings in the first month. They give great customer service and response time is very quick.”

MIAMI BEACH, FL (March 5, 2001) – The management team so successful in launching JobsInLogistics.com has parlayed that winning formula in its creation of AllRetailJobs.com, the Internet's most advanced retail industry career site.

The Need for a Niche Recruiting Site

"There is a definite need for a specialized site to serve the unique needs of the retail industry," said Don Firth, founder of AllRetailJobs.com. "Aside from entry-level positions, retailers tend to seek candidates who have spent time in the retail trenches. Our senior management team has vast experience in this industry, including years of experience in buying, human resources, recruiting, logistics and store management. So it was the logical next step to target this industry and follow in the footsteps of JobsInLogistics.com, our first Internet recruiting venture." Within its first year, JobsInLogistics.com grew to become the largest management recruiting site for the logistics, supply chain, transportation and distribution professions on the Internet.
