Rolling Meadows, IL - Talentology LLC, the exciting online career management site and eresMas Interactiva Inc., the owners and operators of StarMedia, a leading network of Spanish language sites, have announced the creation of a strategic alliance to assist the Hispanic population in the United States in meeting the challenges of today’s job market.

Talentology.comSM will sponsor the newly launched StarMedia “Career Center” through offering its service to StarMedia’s two millions users in the U.S. Hispanic market. The Career Center, just a click off of the StarMedia home page, will introduce to Job Seekers a new way to search for jobs online based on real-life business needs and skills.

The StarMedia Career Center differentiates itself by using Talentology’s ProFindSM technology, which allows job seekers and employers to search for candidates and jobs by unique skills, as opposed to misleading or unreliable keyword searching. It is not just another job board.

Job seekers create background profiles using the exact same terms that employers use to post job descriptions. Both access a common language of over 12,000 specific occupational skills, allowing the ProFind software to generate exact, percentage-ranked matches. Employers can easily identify the most qualified candidates at the top of the list and then invite them to interview for positions. Likewise, Job Seekers can submit requests to employers for interview. Talentology.com protects the confidentiality of its job seekers and presents full contact information to an employer only when an interview agreement is made.

“The number of Americans who described themselves as Hispanic grew by nearly 60 percent in the recent census. The Hispanic community is representative of what the United States has become. Talentology LLC is aware of the richness of ethnic life in this country and through our alliance with StarMedia we plan to support it,” said Talentology President and CEO, Frank Pirri. "Talentology's unique online job searching technology, is about ease, effectiveness, and the reward of finding a job which is truly compatible with one's skill set and goals” Pirri said.

If a rewarding career isn't enough...every job hunter who registers during the launch will earn 500 United Airlines Mileage Plus® miles each time they agree to accept and complete an interview with a new employer through the site.

“Our system connects the right person with the right opportunity. The incentive is our way of showing how job hunters can get more mileage out of a career search online,” said Pirri. “It also proves how much we believe people will find a perfect match for their talents through our new and unique service.”
