Hiring the right people is critical to the success of any organization. Corporate recruiting teams are well aware of this fact and are always looking for efficient but effective ways to attract the best candidates to their online Want Ads. Organizations are finding out that .jobs helps to do just that by providing them with a clear, easy-to-advertise, straightforward URL that pulls job seekers to their recruitment web site.
Companies large and small are not only adopting .jobs, but actively using it to communicate their on-line job opportunities. See how both Merck (www.merck.jobs) and American Family Insurance (www.amfam.jobs) are using .jobs to communicate their career opportunities.
"Merck is a global pharmaceutical and chemical company with 177 companies in 56 countries. We decided to register merck.jobs for several reasons. As a general policy we try to register our name and trademark MERCK in a large number of countries. For the internet we decided to register merck.TLD wherever appropriate. But each company had their own system for recruiting people. Prior to the introduction of the .jobs domain we decided to establish a worldwide job portal offering jobs in the different companies. Now, www.merck.jobs is the perfect domain name to host the worldwide job portal of Merck."
