UnitedWeWork.org seeks to eliminate recruitment costs for every employer in the U.S.

CHICAGO (July 13, 2009) – As U.S. unemployment rates near an all time high, unemployed workers need quick and efficient ways to match their skills with open job opportunities. To facilitate the connection between job seekers and employers, AllianceQ today announced the launch of UnitedWeWork.org, a free recruitment service available to employers of all sizes and workers of all levels and skills. Major companies including, 7-Eleven, ADP, Allstate, AT&T, Hewitt Associates, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, Office Depot, Sears Holdings, and Starbucks have partnered with AllianceQ to kick off the massive recruitment effort.

The average American has more than 30,000 places to search for work, and American employers spend around $60 billion a year trying to find and hire new employees. According to a survey by the Employment Management Association, the average cost to post an open position, identify the appropriate candidate and fill the position is around $10,000. UnitedWeWork.org will connect employers with job seekers with no recruiting, job posting or advertising fees.

“In this economy we are seeing far more job seekers and far fewer jobs; to the point where some job boards have actually taken to charging job seekers to help them find work.” said Phil Haynes, Director of AllianceQ. “UnitedWeWork.org is the only significant offering to allow companies to save on job posting and search and recruitment fees, as well as give all job seekers an equal chance to be found and hired.”

Companies that join UnitedWeWork.org will have access to advanced matching technologies to generate a “shortlist” of qualified, skilled and interested job seekers that are matched based on skills, competencies and work preferences. Candidates are re-evaluated daily as new jobs are posted.

“As a founding member of AllianceQ, ADP is proud to support the United We Work initiative. This alliance creates access to a no cost, easy-to-use community that connects candidates and companies,” said Benito Cachinero, Corporate Vice President of Human Resources for ADP, Inc., one of the world’s leading providers of business outsourcing solutions to over 585,000 clients.

“The economy has made it very difficult for job seekers to quickly narrow in on companies that have open opportunities,” said Daisy Vanderlinde, Executive Vice President of Human Resources for Office Depot. “Using a recruiting service that is free for employers will help connect qualified candidates with more job opportunities more quickly than a traditional job search.”

Through UnitedWeWork.org, U.S. employers will be able to access a candidate database of people ranging across all experience levels and skill sets. Companies will be able to access the database free for the remainder of 2009. For businesses with fewer than 100 employees, the offer continues through July 2010.

AllianceQ is powered by QuietAgent, a next-generation job matching network. Companies and candidates can visit www.UnitedWeWork.org to learn more.
