NETgraphe partnership with La Presse NETgraphe Inc WWW Shares issued 83,401,241 Jan 11 close $7.75 Wed 12 Jan 2000 News Release Mr. Normand Drolet reports NETgraphe's subsidiary, Jobboom.com, has signed an exclusive agreement with the newspaper La Presse to expand the Carrieres et professions service and job ads onto the Internet. Under this agreement, both partners are joining forces to develop potential synergies between their respective media -- the Internet and the print media -- in order to facilitate recruiting and job searches. Over the next few weeks, several new services will be put in place, providing a greatly enhanced and efficient recruiting method for employers, and an easier way to look for work and follow job market development for potential employees. Furthermore, clients of both Jobboom.com and La Presse already benefit from special access rates for both electronic and print services. "Given its leading position in Quebec with its Carrieres et professions section, La Presse is a choice partnership for us," points out Andre Forest, president of Jobboom.com. "Its mass appeal and the quality readership it receives are considerable assets for increasing the scope of our Internet service. The partnership between Jobboom.com and La Presse has only been in place for a few days, but we have already noticed an increased number of registrations for our services." Mario Savard, vice-president, marketing and sales for La Presse, adds: "We chose Jobboom.com because of the quality of its method and especially since, from the outset, it has successfully set itself apart in the field of information technology and multimedia. Now that it has expanded the scope of its services to all job sectors, it was completely natural for us to form this promising partnership so as to improve our current service for employers seeking employees." Formerly known as Recru-direct.com, this Internet recruiting service stood out in the information technology and multimedia sectors by offering a rigorous process promoting accurate communications between professionals and companies. Since the beginning of the year, Jobboom.com covers all job sectors. For two of these sectors, engineering and information and multimedia technologies, it provides the same in-depth service which has been its trademark so far. Almost 29,000 people are now listed and the site posts some 300 job offers.
