Careernation.Com Announces Second Annual Recruiting Expo In New York City
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Bringing together young professionals of African
backgrounds with leading African 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 and Abuja, Nigeria, CareerNation keeps extending its goal to
open up African companies to international recruitment. The website features
a job board, a resume database, and professional human resources services.
