In addition to posting jobs in print and online, advertisers can access a database of matched candidate resumes to boost their recruiting effort. Resume Database Matching offers employers unique value: The Job Matching system identifies all candidates in the database that are good matches for the job, but haven't yet applied. Advertisers can review these matched candidates and invite them to apply for posted jobs. How does Resume Database Matching work?

Advertisers receive an e-mail reporting the number of matched candidates that are displayed in their Online Employer Dashboard. All matched candidates are graded and ranked. Advertisers can preview matched candidates' profiles online without charge; if the profiles appear promising, advertisers can choose to open the candidates' resumes and access their contact information. How is Resume Database Matching priced? A fee is charged to open each potential applicant's resume. Note that if a candidate has already applied for an advertiser's job, there is no charge to open the candidate's resume. Fe a t u re d E m p l oye r What is a Featured Employer?

Featured Employers are also promoted on the home page of the newspaper job site in a special banner ad.

Fe a t u re d Jo b s What are Featured Jobs? Featured Jobs receive highlighted placement when candidates search for jobs. Featured placement means more views, more clicks and ultimately more applications - up to 300% more candidate activity, according to the experience of some advertisers. How do Featured Jobs work?

The fee varies based on ad duration, for as little as $35 for 30 days. dfwj bnetwork.com Your Employment Matchmaker C o r p o r a t e Jo b S i t e S c r a p i n g What is Corporate Job Site Scraping? Some employers maintain their own job sites on which they list open positions.These employers may want to advertise their jobs on the newspaper's site and The Job Network as well with minimum additional effort. The Job Network technology simplifies this process by enabling employers to have their jobs posted on the newspaper site and throughout The Job Network by automatically "scraping" copying them from the employer's web site. After the job is scraped from a corporate web site site, it undergoes a "tuning" process which makes the ad searchable and matchable to candidate profiles on the newspaper site and throughout The Job Network.The text of the job ad - in whole or in part - can be sent to print as well. How does Corporate Job Site Scraping work? After a short setup process,The Job Network will automatically and periodically scan the employer's job web site for job postings. Jobs that have been newly posted by the employer are copied, tuned and published on your newspaper's job site. Jobs that have expired (i.e. that no longer appear on the employer's web site) are detected and removed from the newspaper's job site.The frequency of this integration process can vary depending on the employer's requirements. How is Corporate Job Site Scraping priced? Employers pay a $500 one-time set-up fee for Corporate Job Site Scraping and a $35 fee per job copied (with a monthly minimum fee of $175). O n l i n e E m p l oy m e n t D a s h b o a rd The Online Employer Dashboard is a password-protected web site that helps advertisers manage their job postings and candidate applications. What is the Online Employer Dashboard? How does the Online Employer Dashboard work? All jobs posted by advertisers are consolidated in their Online Employer Dashboard, where they can also review, track, and manage candidate job applications. First-time job advertisers will receive an e-mail describing the employer dashboard, and providing log-in information. Advertisers will be invited to log-in to review their job postings, and to add optional screening or qualifying questions that can be presented to online applicants. The Online Employer Dashboard presents employers with a list of screened, graded and ranked candidates who have applied for their advertised jobs. Employers can use their dashboard tools to communicate with candidates, forward applications to appropriate staff for review and track the entire hiring process.
