Welcome to .jobs Universe
Wednesday, November 18th, 2009A question we’ve been hearing over the past few months with great frequency is
What is .jobs?
So we’ve created a new informational site called Universe.jobs. This site was created to help companies understand how their company.jobs can be used, moreover how the new geographical.jobs, occupational.jobs and combination.jobs domains will automatically benefit their online recruiting efforts for FREE.
Why do we call it the .jobs Universe? Navigate through by watching the videos, reading the resources and blog which should provide a greater understanding and evoke more questions and hopefully innovation throughout the industry.
We also understand the .jobs Universe will be a welcomed addition to all recruiting eco-systems focused on cutting recruitment costs, improving efficiencies and driving innovation. So far, this new universe has been easy to understand and welcomed by companies.

Getting Jobs to Veterans
Monday, November 16th, 2009Instead of only taking one day to thank veterans for everything they do lets extend thanks by challenging each other to do more for veterans daily, specifically those seeking careers. These candidates are STRONG with TALENT and deserve more hiring attention. That being said I’ll start the challenge by listing our current veteran initiatives.
What is DirectEmployers doing for veterans?
DirectEmployers’ staff, along with our partners NASWA, speak and provide workshops directly to local representatives responsible for aiding veterans trying to break into the hiring cycle. Our partnership is also responsible for creating VetCentral.
VetCentral was created to fill the gap left by America’s Job Bank in mid-2007, which would help Vet-Friendly companies deliver jobs directly to local representatives who focus on serving veterans looking for jobs.
VetCentral Stats: (as of 11/13/2009)
Jobs provided to veterans since VetCentral’s inception – 2,597,223
Local Representative distributed to since inception: – 2,555
Jobs provided to veterans in last 12 months: – 952,146
Representatives distributed to in last 12 months: – 2,263
It doesn’t stop there…
DirectEmployers takes pride in aligning with quality partners AND delivering REAL JOBS from REAL COMPANIES to local veteran representatives focused on matching the right vets with the right jobs.
DirectEmployers is also proud to power the United States Army Reserve and Army National Guard Employer Partnership Initiatives job search, which provide jobs to Army Reservists, National Guardsmen and women throughout the nation. Moreover VetCentral powers a VetSuccess job search version for the Department of Veteran Affairs.
Stay Tuned for more efforts to help veterans connect with real jobs!
