AsiaXPAT Launches Cutting-Edge Career Platform

Hong Kong, Hong Kong S.A.R., October 01, 2008 --(PR.com)-- AsiaXPAT, the leading pan-Asian web portal network for professionals living in and moving to major cities in Asia, announced today that it will be launching a powerful, custom-designed career platform to directly meet the needs of recruiters, employers, and employees in each of its 14 city-specific portals.

In partnership with Now Hiring, a top Australian professional career portal company, the AsiaXPAT career platform will be powered by cutting-edge technology from one of the largest recruitment sites in Australia. AsiaXPAT has purchased the exclusive rights to Now Hiring’s job site technology and tailored it specifically to meet the needs of its pan-Asian markets to best serve their client demographic.

“With over 550,000 visitors per month and 60,000 active registered members in our database, AsiaXPAT already has a high traffic flow of top job candidates using our careers section,” said Paul Luciw, Founder and Managing Director of AsiaXPAT. “Now with this advanced, sophisticated platform, recruiters can upload and manage large volumes of jobs at the site resulting in one of the most high-level career platforms in Hong Kong. We currently have one of the broadest audience reaches and now we have a superior platform that can match its needs.”

The AsiaXPAT career portal will offer a full range of services including job listings and resume screening for employers and uploading of resumes for candidates including technical support. It is set to become an indispensable resource for both recruiters and professional executives who want efficient, hassle-free access to an extensive pan-Asian database of expatriate as well as overseas and local Chinese high-income professionals.

“We recently expanded our business into Hong Kong and made use of the usual print and online channels to advertise for senior level, bilingual sales staff for our investment products,” said Jeremy Kasler, Founder and Managing Director of the Australian Wine Index. “Of all advertising that we placed for these positions, the best response by far was from our ads on AsiaXPAT Careers. AsiaXPAT Careers is the best place to find overseas educated Chinese, expatriate, and local Chinese professionals—period,” he added.

Leading recruitment firms Michael Page, Ambition, and Law Alliance have already signed-on with AsiaXPAT to post their job listings at the new career portal and a number of other major recruitment firms are in discussions to do so.

AsiaXPAT will also be launching a ‘Hot Jobs’ newsletter to be distributed to its 60,000 active members across the region on a regular basis enabling recruiters even further exposure and opportunity to actively seek prime candidates.
