DeviceSpace and Medical Device Link Launch Dynamic, Online Career Center

Partnership forms Device Career Network, a targeted community of more than 60,000 medical device and diagnostics professionals

ENGLEWOOD, CO (February 9, 2009) – DeviceSpace.com, an onTargetjobs Inc. company and the nation’s premier job board for the medical device and diagnostics markets, has partnered with MedicalDeviceLink.com to launch Device Career Network, a niche community for the industry’s business and scientific leaders.

The career network’s content is powered by DeviceSpace and MedicalDeviceLink. This partnership offers employers and jobs seekers opportunities to benefit from new, industry resources, extending connections between life science professionals.

Device Career Network will replace the current career page on DeviceSpace, maintaining the same networking functionality while providing relevant job postings for candidates seeking career advancement. Additionally, employers will benefit from a portfolio of advertising products, event details about upcoming career fairs, and other resources that promote their businesses within each medical device and diagnostics niche, open opportunities to target audiences, and increase return on investment.

“Device Career Network provides employers with a unique, competitive advantage for hiring qualified, targeted professionals,” said Wes Crews, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Niche Markets at onTargetjobs. “Employers have the ability to precisely position their medical device and diagnostics career opportunities by industry and local geographic markets to more than 60,000 community members.”

The Career Network also offers a distinctive résumé database that helps employers find job seekers who match a position’s specific requirements. Applicants are able to search companies’ open positions, post multiple versions of their résumé, and conveniently utilize other career guides. Additionally, all audiences have access to up-to-date, industry resources, allowing employers and job seekers to avoid the need to sort through broad content on typical job boards. “Using Canon’s experience as a leader and community builder in the Medical Device market, along with innovative online technology powered by onTargetjobs, Device Career Network will allow medical device professionals to seek employment with leading companies in a targeted environment.” said Jason Brown, Vice President of Emedia at Canon Communications.
