Press Release Summary = The high tech labor market is seeing a very undesirable
trend these days. Outsourcing means that many professionals, especially in the IT
sector see some fierce competition coming from abroad. What strategies can be
employed to avoid this setback? John Doe, webmaster of simplycarrer.com answers.

Press Release Body = May 08, 2007 – In United States right now, 37% of all
programming needs get outsource to countries like India, China or Ukraine. This
poses a great threat for the onshore software development companies, but even a
greater threat for the professionals involved in the process.

Finding the right job these days is much harder than it was five or six years ago.
John Doe, webmaster of simplycareer.com comments: “Sending resumes by reading
ads in the newspaper simply doesn’t seem effective anymore. For every ad in
the newspaper there will probably be some very fierce competition, which allows a
high degree of leverage for the employer.”

Simplycareer.com introduced a novel concept that is already raising waves across the
web. “The job market with all these deficiencies has still some rather
peculiar habits that can be used by a professional to his or hers advantage ”,
John Doe continues, “It is a well known fact that the ads you see in
newspapers or specialized websites represent only the tip of the iceberg. Only 10 to
20 percent of the job opportunities are ever advertised. What we attempted to do was
to give access to our users at the other 80 to 90 percent.”

Ironically enough, what gives simplycareer.com it’s edge is also outsourcing.
Many companies would rather use a recruiting service, rather than putting a strain
on their human resources department. These recruiting companies act as a gateway
between the employers and professionals, but their hiring practices are a bit
unusual. They try to collect as many resumes as possible and than call the
appropriate candidates. The downside of this method is very clear. The resumes may
be outdated or inaccurate. This why simplycareer.com is so popular. Not because
professionals really like it, but because recruiting companies do. “When you
have the possibility of sending a single resume to all the major recruiting
companies, written in a professional, guided manner you will likely try it. Our
advertising campaign is actually more addressed to the recruiting companies, because
once an unemployed professional will se our offer, we are pretty sure that the
service will sell itself.”
