Shaker Recruitment Consultants (SRC), a division of Shaker Recruitment Advertising and Communications, the organization behind such ideal URLs as ChicagoJobs.com, BostonJobs.com and many others is tackling the Atlanta, Ga.-metro market with AtlantaJobs.com.
Keeping with the organization’s history of bringing job content from local newspaper partners together under one domain name, AtlantaJobs.com includes The Atlanta Voice, The Citizen, The Clayton-News Daily, CrossRoadsNews, Gwinnett Post, Henry Daily Herald, Newton Citizen and Rockdale Citizen. Services from job postings, company profiles and banner ads are offered to employers. Single postings start at $130-per, with bulk discounts.
“We are proud to have brought numerous local Atlanta publishers together to create AtlantaJobs.com,” says Joe Shaker, Jr., Vice President of SRC. “This alliance allows us to provide an unmatched local career resource for both job-seekers and employers in the Atlanta region.”
Archive.org reveals the site was previously owned by ComputerJobs.com, but seemingly as a redirect to a page on their own site. ComputerJobs.com was purchased by UK-based Jobserve in 2006. No word on whether or not AtlantaJobs.com remained in its original owner’s hands or not. Most recent acquisition details behind AtlantaJobs.com were not disclosed.
Considering Google’s affection for exact-match domains and search data that puts “Atlanta jobs” at the top of the locally searched terms list, and this site should be paying dividends to its new owners shortly. Oh yeah, and don’t forget about type-in traffic.
