College Jobs Network intends to take a bite out of the profits of the
large, high priced job seeking and job advertising websites such as Monster
and their own closest competitor in the niche online job advertising market,
College Central, which takes in over a million dollars a year in fees.
“Not only does College Jobs Network offer free employment listings, but
job listings are not lost and buried in less than a week as they usually are
on major, non-targeted advertising sights such as Monster and Craigslist. At
the same time, students won’t get lost in a maze of job postings that don’t
reflect their talents and goals,” said Bahnsen, founder of College Jobs
Network (http://www.collegejobsnetwork.com).
Unlike College Central, Monster, and most other online college job
boards, College Jobs Network does not charge any fees to employers or job
seekers. Instead, it generates all of its revenue from advertising.
Bahnsen’s goal is to position The College Jobs Network as the most
affordable and finely targeted job board online for employers to find
college employees and recent graduates seeking to launch their careers.
Additionally, the site provides college students and recent grads with
effective web-based tools, services, and resources to secure employment with
employers for full time jobs, part time jobs, and internship positions.
“Our goal is to develop and promote a collaborative employment website
for recent graduates and current students through alumni resources, college
career center involvement and community outreach. The College Jobs Network
helps our leaders of tomorrow take those first few steps of getting that
first job which better matches their skills and desires,” said Bahnsen.
Collaborating with Bahnsen in the design of the college job search
network were several recent college graduates, a professor, and a human
resources manager – individuals selected for their unique perspective of the
college jobs market.
Most small businesses can’t afford to pay $400 to post a listing for the
types of jobs they are seeking. However, community sites like Craig’s List
aren’t necessarily designed for making effective job connections between
fresh talent and small businesses. On these types of sites, job postings get
lost and buried quickly, and there is little in the way of demographics
targeting.
The site features a "cork board"-style set of job postings pages, a
resume building section, and sections where employers and college graduate
job seekers can sign up for their free memberships and then access the
site's features at
