Casino Careers and Casino Executive Search Use High Tech to Track Candidates

Linwood, NJ – 9/8/03 – Casino Careers Online (www.casinocareers.com) and Casino Executive Search (www.casinoexecsearch.com), implemented a new technology that enables the Gaming/Hospitality industry recruitment companies to track applicants for each employer by job title.

“This new feature will help our clients organize applicant resumes,” said Beth Deighan, president of Casino Careers and Casino Executive Search. “It’s important to constantly invest in technology to make the recruitment process easier for employers and add value to our services.”

Casino Careers Online provides a job board and a resume database of over 30,000 resumes to over 200 gaming companies that recruit through their web site.

Their sister company, Casino Executive Search, takes advantage of the many CCO recruitment tools to increase their turn-around time to identify senior executives for their clients.

“We offer many advantages over other search firms,” noted Jean Abraham, vice president of marketing for Casino Executive Search. “Not only does our staff have gaming and human resources management experience, but, we provide a unique assessment technique and have an unbelievable network of gaming/hospitality executives. If the right candidate isn’t in our combined databases, we can easily find and qualify them by leveraging on our professional affiliations.”

The new “Applicant Tracking” feature stores the resumes of all applicants in a separate database by job title and employer.

“We love this new feature,” said Erica Spencer, corporate human resources manager for Isle of Capri. “All of our gaming properties have unlimited job posting and resume access to the Casino Careers database. Now we can hold all applicants interested in our openings in an electronic file by job title and contact them as the careers opportunities become available.”

Casino Careers opened Casino Executive Search earlier this year to help its employers identify, screen and select senior executives and key managers.

“General Managers and Tribal Councils don’t have time to thoroughly interview the many applicants they receive for their key management openings,” said Mona Vaccarella, vice president of human resources consulting for Casino Executive Search, who brings 20 years of senior
executive human resources experience to the company (most recently Mona served as Senior Vice President of Compensation, Benefits and HR process improvement for Citigroup-NA Cards Division).

“Our screening process assesses not only technical and operational knowledge, but also management/leadership skills,” she explained. “Before we refer an applicant, they undergo an intensive profiling process.”

But what makes these two companies head and shoulders above their competitors is their personal customer service.

Casino Careers clients get help with writing job descriptions, assessing their salary ranges, writing their job postings and searching the resume database.

Casino Executive Search clients are provided with assistance in developing job responsibilities and requirements, compensation packages, final interviewing questions, and employment agreements.

“We also assist our clients to develop objectives for their new hire,” said Vaccarella. “We want our clients and the employees we place to enjoy a successful and productive working relationship.”
