JobOptions receives award for excellence - 07/2001

JobOptions.com, an e-cruitment solutions provider, has been selected to receive the first Double-Smile Award for their continued commitment to helping jobseekers find employment while protecting their privacy. The award was presented by Boston-based Job-Hunt.org, the most comprehensive listing of useful job-searching resources on the web.

Job-Hunt.org states that, ìJobOptions.com offers excellent and unique options for protecting the privacy of your resume while allowing employers
to search through your experience, so your resume will still have marketing impact without putting your job at risk.î

The criteria for the award includes:

- Quantity of job opportunities available
- Variety of job types and number of employers represented
- Ease of use for jobseekers (searching, applying, email notification)
- Presence of meaningful privacy policy
- Options for effective applicant privacy and job protection

ìYou often hear of people who have lost jobs because their employer discovered their resume online,î said Michael Forrest, president of JobOptions.com. ìWhen that happens, they regret not thoroughly researching the siteís privacy policy ñ if they even have one.î

JobOptions.com offers 100% complete privacy for users that wish to have it. With JobOptions.com Real Resume PrivacyTM, jobseekers create a profile of their credentials. If a company is interested in learning more, they send an email to JobOptions.com, who then emails the candidate. It is then up to the user if they would like to reveal additional information. A userís name, contact information, including email, address and phone number, and all previous employers are kept completely confidential. Prospective employers see only the type of work sought, industry experience, location, skills/qualifications, years of experience and education. If a person chooses Real Resume PrivacyTM, they will not receive unsolicited phone calls or emails at their home or office. The bottom line: a person cannot tell whose resume it belongs to, but he or she is always in the running for that great opportunity when it arises.

Real Resume PrivacyTM is especially attractive to passive jobseekers, those who are content with their current employer but curious about other opportunities. This privacy feature is so secure, that PC Computing recently referred to this option as ìbuilt for the paranoid.î
