Pro2Net Launches Career Network to Serve Accounting/Finance Job Seekers and Recruiters

New Online Career Resources Offer Enhanced Functions and Greater Flexibility

SEATTLE (Nov. 14, 2000) - Pro2Net Corporation (www.pro2net.com), the most comprehensive online resource for business professionals, today introduced an upgraded accounting and finance Career Network to meet the needs of both job seekers and recruiters.

Pro2Net's online career resources have helped thousands of accounting and finance professionals and recruiters since 1995. The enhanced Career Network is powered by an e-recruiting solution licensed from CareerSite Corporation of Ann Arbor, Mich.

"Career Network is more targeted, more dynamic and more interactive than the large job boards currently serving the market," said John Fitzpatrick, Pro2Net's president and CEO. "And because it's integrated into the Pro2Net Web site, it will attract a highly qualified audience that visits regularly for news, reference materials, education and other resources. Our Career Network is part of a professional community rather than simply a career classified section."

Pro2Net Career Network features easy-to-use desktop tools that streamline job hunting and recruiting. For example, recruiters can view and update their job postings and track responses in real time, and cross-post their open positions on other selected employment sites.

Accounting and finance professionals looking to make career moves can create and store resumes and cover letters, receive e-mail notification of relevant openings and view profiles of companies that have open positions. Unlike many job boards that list job openings by date, the Pro2Net Career Network's search criteria is based on a skills match, prioritizing jobs that most closely match the applicant's career profile. As a result, it delivers more targeted results for both job seekers and recruiters. Job seekers will also have access to an extensive lineup of career-management resources available through Pro2Net.

"Working with Pro2Net is a great opportunity to create a world-class e-recruitment site targeting the business professional," said Don Dornbush, founder and president of CareerSite. "Pro2Net is delivering both a one-stop site for recruiters and a confidential career service for its professional audience."

"We're excited about teaming up with CareerSite," Fitzpatrick added. "The company is very focused on technology and customer service, and they're able to move quickly to meet our needs."
