Careernation.Com Announces Second Annual Recruiting Expo In New York City
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Bringing together young professionals of African backgrounds with leading African and U.S companies, CareerNation's second Recruiting Expo is coming to New York City's Metropolitan Pavilion April 20-21, 2007. Prominent African businessmen, academics, and policy advisors will participate in panel discussions and events.
Following up on the success of its first recruiting event, CareerNation.com - the human resources center dedicated to connecting its more than 20,000 candidates to registered employers - is launching the first of several job expositions throughout the United States this year. Its goal is to help strengthen business culture in Africa, and, by doing so, to bolster African economies.
The CareerNation Expo targets candidates of African descent for U.S. and African-based companies seeking qualified candidates for careers in the U.S. and throughout the African continent,” says Victor Madubuko, founder and CEO of CareerNation.com.
In 2005, CareerNation's first exposition introduced 1,000 pre-screened candidates to fifty representatives of hiring companies. The candidates also participated in the “African Brain Gain Conference,” in which more than twenty speakers - such as African policy advisors, UN representatives, and corporate executives - discussed solutions for the reinvigorating of African economies.
This year's expositions will go beyond by expanding the reach to other major metropolitan markets, including Atlanta, Houston, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and Boston.
Hailed as “the number-one job site for job searching in the African market,” by Steven Hayes, president of the Corporate Council on Africa, CareerNation.com was founded in 2003 by Madubuko. With offices in both New York, Nairobi, and Abuja, Nigeria, CareerNation keeps extending its goal to open up global companies to international recruitment. The website features a job board, a resume database, and professional human resources services.
