The former Vice President of Sales and Marketing for wantedtech.com, which provides on-demand intelligence for the employment market in the U.S. and Canada, has left the company to pursue a new opportunity as VP of Business Development at Montreal-based standoutjobs.com, a site that offers web-based tools, software, and services to companies looking to enhance their recruiting presence on the web.
Steven McNair, whose resume includes eight years with wantedtech.com working to resdesign their product line and business model and a stint with TMP Worldwide managing $12 million in media sales as a General Manager, said he felt that after meeting with Standout’s CEO Ben Yoskovitz, he knew the timing was right to come on board.
“Now that [wantedtech.com is] an established company on the TSX-venture exchange, I felt that it was time to move on and seek other exciting challenges,” McNair said. “I realized that working in a start-up environment is more rewarding than working for a large multinational; as such, I should of realized that after working at wantedtech.com for 8 years.”
McNair said that he was hired at standoutjobs.com to create and promote the company’s business level strategies, which includes promoting RECEPTION, the company’s new recruiting software solution that was launched in January.
At the heart of RECEPTION is a do-it-yourself interactive career site that leverages social media tools and principles, including video, blogging, and widgets, to showcase a company’s culture and team. RECEPTION also includes candidate relationship management tools enabling HR managers to identify, interact with and track candidates effectively.
“We are looking to establish partnerships with ATS providers, recruitment ad agencies, job boards, and a plethora of other HRBPO firms, who believe that enabling a highly-interactive and cost-effective career site for their clients would provide them with a strategic advantage.”
McNair is not the only executive wantedtech.com has recently lost. On June 13, the company also announced the abrupt exit of CEO Scott Burton.
