ATLANTA, GA. - August 31, 2010 - AcademicJobsToday.com, a leader in higher education employment recruitment, today announced the acquisition of CommunityCollegeJobs.com, a top-ranked website for finding community college jobs and career information. The terms of the purchase were not disclosed.

With the acquisition, Academic Jobs Today strengthens its position as an industry leader where hundreds of colleges and universities post job listings to recruit thousands of professors, administrators, executives, and staff members.

"Academic Jobs Today is the fastest-growing employment site in higher education today,'' said Pat Taylor, chair of the AcademicJobsToday.com board, noting that the number of Internet visitors to AcademicJobsToday.com increased by 120 percent over the past three months (as verified by Google Analytics). "With the addition of CommunityCollegeJobs.com, we will give colleges more power and more options to find, recruit, and hire the best academic talent available."

The re-launch of Community College Jobs is expected in early September 2010. "Our programmers and designers are fantastic, and they've been busy creating our second authoritative job site that will help connect thousands of job seekers with community college job opportunities,'' Taylor said.

TWO SITES FOR THE PRICE OF ONE
When listing jobs on CommunityCollegeJobs.com, community colleges will get 2-for-1 pricing they will not find on any other higher education employment websites. Each time a community college posts an opening on CommunityCollegeJobs.com, it will appear automatically on AcademicJobsToday.com, at no extra charge. Also, whenever a community college places a display advertisement on CommunityCollegeJobs.com, the ad will also appear on all pages of AcademicJobsToday.com.

"This kind of visibility is a first in recruitment advertising for community colleges," Taylor said. "We believe it is the best job-listing value anywhere on the Internet for community and technical colleges."

At a time when the U.S. recession has reduced state funding for many colleges and universities, "The arrival of our 2-for-1 pricing model is the smart choice for colleges that still need to get the word out about their new job openings," Taylor said.

COMMUNITY COLLEGES - MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER
"The Obama administration has increased the visibility of community colleges over the past year because it recognizes how important the schools are right now in our nation," Taylor said. "For community colleges to operate at optimal levels, they'll need the best professors in their classrooms and top administrators in their executive offices. They'll be able to recruit the best using CommunityCollegeJobs.com"
