CampusCareerCenter.com launches world's first Global Campus Recruiting Network™
Cambridge, MA (July 14, 1999) - On September 15, CampusCareerCenter.com (CCC) will launch
a wide range of online recruiting services to help students and companies conduct highly targeted worldwide job and internship
searches. CampusCareerCenter.com was created with input from students, employers, and university career counselors and introduced to
the public on March 15, as the last phase of the web site's beta test. The company's mission is to unite the academic and corporate
communities to bring virtual on-campus e-recruitment to a global level. The company has established itself as the world's first
global e-recruitment campus provider, through its very successful Global Campus Recruitment Network™. This global academic
association has grown to include over 750 schools, consisting primarily of students, career centers, and campus representatives. The
September launch marks the first time that students, faculty and employers will have the opportunity to utilize the web based
services from the onset of the academic year, which coincides with the beginning of the campus recruiting season.
Lance Richards, Director of International Staffing at Dallas-based GTE International, recently commented on his belief that "The
Internet will improve the quality of candidates, and the speed and cost-efficiency of recruiting. There is a need to source workers
on a global scale… There is a prevalence of Internet use among the younger generation- 83 percent of freshman use the Internet."
CampusCareerCenter.com will fill the existing need among companies by providing employers with a central platform that allows
students and recruiters like Lance Richards to more efficiently conduct worldwide job and internship searches. Within three years the
company expects to build a membership of over 1,000,000 candidates, creating the largest database of students in the world.
Under the direction of Gary Geraci (Worldwide Student Liaison), The Global Campus Recruiting Network™ boasts the first grassroots
campus marketing initiative to ever take place on a worldwide level. According to Geraci, "…its so exciting to be offering an
e-recruitment service that is so tightly intertwined with globalization, a phenomena that affects every student in the world in one
capacity or another." Student and faculty members stay attuned to developments within the global academic and corporate community
through the web site's database communication capabilities, global campus chat room, and e-recruitment newsletter service.
Full use of the web site is provided to students at no charge. Over 260 companies have signed on to use CampusCareerCenter.com's
services including Microsoft, Sony, Schlumberger, Arthur Andersen, Rexam PLC and Oracle. Companies can choose from an array of
options including posting jobs and internships, accessing the candidate database, and posting a company profile in order to compete
in the worldwide recruitment of top candidates.
Matt Casey, President of CampusCareerCenter.com says "…for students we've created a user-friendly, point and click web site and
database system to break down the imposing barriers of space and time that once complicated the global job search. For companies,
CampusCareerCenter.com is a valuable resource for more efficient and cost effective campus recruitment. Our services help companies
recruit in one specific geographic area or multiple regions that span several continents, giving employers an edge by connecting them
with candidates having the skill-sets and geographic backgrounds that are vital to competing in the New World economy. While
traditional campus recruitment visits only last a couple of days, our services give recruiters a ubiquitous, year round on-campus presence."
The cofounders of CCC are Matt Casey and Gary Geraci. The company's headquarters are in Cambridge, MA.
