P H O T O B Y T I M G R E E N W A Y P H O T O B Y T I M G R E E N W A Y JobsInME.com (Part of JobsInTheUS.com network of sites) 190 Riverside Street, Suite 9A Portland, ME 04103 Saïd Eastman, CEO/GM Online Recruitment Media and Job Search Founded: 1999 Maine employees: 10–20 1-877-374-1088 / 207-591-6259 Sales@JobsInME.com www.JobsInME.com / www.JobsInTheUS.com JobsInME S ince its founding 20 years ago, employment search engine JobsIneUS.com ( JiUS) and its flagship site, JobsInME.com, have pursued a single mission – to connect local businesses that are hiring with real job seekers who are motivated and local. Hyperlocal, in fact. JiUS now operates job sites dedicated to each of the 50 states plus the District of Columbia. Job seekers and employers use the network of sites because the first step in a job search is to start local, where one lives. e geographic focus has its benefits: Each site features jobs that are available in that state and only from employers wanting to have a presence in that state. e hyperlocal jobs inventory that is sold directly by the JiUS team is also aggregated on JobsIneUS.com, which provides a comprehensive, nationwide look at who's hiring. One-size-fits-all job sites continue to have a place, but search elements are not the only factors to consider. Local job sites are built with the understanding that jobs seekers may not want to relocate – for example, because of the impact on their families. Celebrating 20 years means we are growing and maturing along with the community and our clients. We are not done adding more services to our business to help employers and job seekers alike. Saïd Eastman, CEO/GM Maine's Employment Resource Is Keeping It Local JiUS has been operating state-specific job sites since 1999, and in that time has made them increasingly focused on the idea that real people should apply for jobs and not just relying on machine matching. It helps to know that the person applying is actually interested in the company. JiUS advocates for humanizing recruit- ment by encouraging employers to follow up with all applicants, and even attend career fairs where managers and recruiters can meet interested candidates. Today, visitors to any of the 52 JiUS sites can easily zero in on desired employment according to location within the state, length of commute, and dozens of job categories. With a few clicks or taps, potential candidates can pinpoint jobs by seniority level, educa- tion requirements, compensation, or preference for business travel. Seekers can also save their customized searches, upload and store multiple resumes, and choose to receive automated job alert emails on a daily or weekly basis. For employers, JiUS offers flexible solutions to meet hiring needs as they change and grow over time. Once registered and verified, a business can transact using the self-serve ecommerce platform. A dedicated customer service team and account managers act as strategic recruitment partners, working with employers to select what best suits their needs from a suite of products. A variety of affordable price points give employers the oppor- tunity to create the most strategic mix of media to get the best reach. All packages include company branding and add-on pro- motional options. One additional value important to employers is the applicant tracking system (ATS), which helps with compliance and creates a system of record. e ATS is built into the sites and is available to all clients. It functions like a customized dashboard, allowing the employer to manage the apply process and candidate status, along with sorting and managing the applicant resume database and JiUS resume database. JiUS serves as a resource to employers and job seekers in other ways, too. JiUS and JobsInME.com offer insightful job-seeking news and advice through award-winning publications and social media channels – work that is informed by long-standing relationships with the communities served. JiUS is an active partner with local chambers of commerce, municipalities, trade associations, and career centers. e company also participates in and organizes local career fairs and business-to-business events. As a hyperlocal business, JobsInME.com is dedicated to being a strategic partner with all local businesses – in Maine and in your hometown. l
