Technology firm StaffCV has entered into a strategic partnership with Harris Connect, the largest producer of college and university alumni directories in the world. The partnership will promote StaffCV’s unique QuietAgent online Job Offer Agent solution to a staggering 20 million USA high school graduates. Harris Connect was founded in 1963 to help universities locate and communicate with their alumni. It is now the most trusted and respected alumni social networking provider in the USA, with many of the most prestigious colleges and universities in the country among its 3,000 clients. Harris Connect is introducing QuietAgent to selected high school partners, offering employers and recruiting agents the exciting prospect of connecting with those alumni who participate in the service. Alumni who opt to use the Job Offer Agent will ensure they are always in the market for a better job. QuietAgent CEO Jason Kerr explains that QuietAgent “targets the 90 percent of internet users who aren’t interested in looking for a job right now, but would love to be notified if the right job opportunity comes up”. “Over the past ten years we’ve been approached by many different companies who were interested in partnering with us to solely gain access to these users,” says Bill Harris, Chairman and CEO of Harris Connect. “Rarely did a company offer to provide a service that would be of value, while maintaining the high security and privacy standards we require.” Harris says that in considering an online job partner, privacy and security of members’ information was paramount. “When we talked to QuietAgent we realized we had found the right partner – a company that takes privacy and security as seriously as we do.” Harris Connect will first introduce QuietAgent to the alumni of its selected high school partners through a very personalised online marketing programme. From 15 May 2007, recruiting agents (QuietAgent’s highest volume users) will be able to join QuietAgent and use the specialised Recruitment Agency Edition to search for anonymous talent under an “all-you-can-eat” flat monthly service fee. Employers, on the other hand, join and search QuietAgent for free and only pay if a suitably matched short-listed person agrees to talk to them. As the USA market leader providing integrated solutions to colleges, universities, private and independent schools, membership associations and other organisations, Harris Connect will also consider enabling these partners to offer the QuietAgent opportunity to their alumni and members in the near future. Kerr says that New Zealand and Australia QuietAgent partners and users continue to benefit from its growing global community, which is now one step closer to the company’s goal of being the world’s largest database of qualified employed people.
