Classifieds2GO.com Offers Newspapers Online Local Career Centers.

5 April 2004, 09:30am ET

TAMPA, Fla., April 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Classifieds2GO.com and 1up! Software have partnered to provide hundreds of U.S. newspapers with a powerful, locally branded career center.

Over 300 newspapers across the country use 1up!'s software and hosting facilities. Now, they can offer local classified job postings, resume searching, resume posting and job searching, among other services, online to each newspaper's local marketplace. Making the system available to local markets allows newspapers to recapture lost local advertising dollars.

"Newspapers have suffered huge losses in employment advertising. By supplying each publication with its own web-based career center, we believe newspapers can take back their local marketplace and provide better overall employment advertising packages online and offline that career boards will not be able to compete with," said Jay Dee Shores, Vice President of Classifieds2GO.com.

"The bigger job sites such as Monster.com are taking local market share away from the newspapers that do not have the time or resources to build a complete career center to compete. It's time local publications are supplied with the tools to compete and protect their local customer base," said Michael A. Patrino II, President of Classifieds2GO.com.

The newspaper controls the banner and text ads and its clients. The publication does not need to spend any money to take credit cards or purchase software; this is a complete turnkey solution for each paper.

"1up!'s goal has always been to provide its customers easy-to-use, yet powerful software tools that allow newspapers to protect their content franchise and to make money. The combination of our software and Classifieds2GO.com's career center meets these needs," said David Sutton, Co-Managing Partner at 1up! Software.

This web-based solution does not require hardware or software installed at a publication and enables community newspapers to regain their positions as the smartest medium for advertisers to post jobs and for those seeking employment.

According to J. David McChesney, Co-Managing Partner at 1up!, "Once a newspaper is ready to add revenue and services to its local marketplace, 1Up! provides the necessary information and training that will, in turn, start generating revenue for that publication. To start with a career center is free, no fixed monthly fees and the publication can be up and running in 48 hours with nothing out of pocket. Each newspaper can utilize its own graphic look for their career center."
