CareerBuilder Founder Unveils mkt10, the Top Performers' Job Market.

MCLEAN, Va. -- Unveiled today is mkt10 (market10), the Top Performers' job market that provides a place for the best candidates to be matched with the top jobs at leading companies. mkt10 matches a Top Performer's exceptional experience, skills, knowledge and career goals with targeted job opportunities. The brainchild of Rob McGovern, the founder and former CEO of CareerBuilder, and a talented team of former CareerBuilder technology professionals, mkt10 addresses the gross inefficiencies associated with today's online job sites, the lack of attention paid to high performing professionals, and the non-existent means for top companies to expeditiously gain access to Top Performers they want to hire.

"Yesterday's job sites are about as efficient as a super market bulletin board," said Rob McGovern, the founder and CEO of mkt10. "It's not a wonder so many people are frustrated with these sites; they're still applying an early 1990's technology approach to a 2005 problem." McGovern added, "In 2004, I started calling old members of the CareerBuilder band back together to, once again, take the market to a whole new level. We're rested, we're jazzed, and we're ready to do what we do best--take on the status quo. Our mission is clear: to create an entirely new job market that gives candidates and employers an awesome experience as they achieve their goals."

In much the same way that Google overhauled search, mkt10 signifies a new era in online jobs. It's a second-generation approach in an industry desperate for a better solution. The mkt10 site is presently being beta tested in Washington, D.C. and will shortly begin a national rollout.

"When we were first briefed on the mkt10 business plan we were blown away by the concept," said Steve Sasser, CEO of Peopleclick. "We believe mkt10 represents one of those rare, every 20 years tectonics shifts in the marketplace. With that, we've entered into a partnership to deliver mkt10 to our 2,500 Fortune 2000 customers to accelerate the formation of this new job market." Sasser added, "Our customers have over 300,000 job openings and we're excited to provide them with the chance to fill these positions in the new marketplace forged by mkt10."

What's Different about mkt10?

Precise matching--unlike yesterday's search oriented job site, mkt10 works on the principle of intelligent matching. Once a candidate fills out a profile, mkt10 matches him or her to the precise, best jobs that meet their unique strengths, experiences, interests and education. Rather than forcing the Top Performer to search through thousands of similar sounding job ads, mkt10 instantly presents the candidate with a ranked list of the best opportunities for career advancement. It's like a personal career coach and a headhunter that works for the Top Performer 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

Intelligent feedback--with mkt10, the Top Performer always knows where he or she stands vs. wondering about the status of their resume in the "black hole" associated with bulletin board style job sites. Today they send out hundreds of resumes via the old-style job sites and nothing happens. mkt10 believes Top Performers deserve to know where they stand at all times. mkt10 ranks their jobs from best to worst, keeps them abreast of employer interest in their candidacy, tells them how they compare to other candidates in the market with similar skills, and whether or not their salary requirements are reasonable for the market. Best of all, candidates can receive feedback on their own terms such as the mkt10 website, their email inbox, or as a text message on their cell phone.

Complete confidentiality--yesterday's bulletin board-style job site asks the Top Performer to commit an unreasonable act of submitting his or her resume to a public resume database where they might be discovered by their present employer, headhunters, or unscrupulous individuals. mkt10 offers a breakthrough in candidate confidentiality protections. The Top Performing candidate decides which information to protect, including name and present job. They can then decide whether to divulge this information on a request-only basis and only when the candidate has been assured this information is being requested from an employer of interest.

Marketplace analytics--mkt10 also offers a market analyzer that allows a Top Performer or an employer to discover where they fit in the overall job market, complimenting its intelligent matching concept. It answers such questions as: "What's the job market like for someone of my skills?" "What's the market rate salary for this position?" "How many people are there in my local market with these skills and this education?"

Pricing--mkt10 is free to all job candidates. Employers pay only $2,000 U.S. per hire, a model that reflects the complete confidence mkt10 has in its offering. It's the first and only career site that offers a pay for success model.
