JobShark continues successful expansion across Latin America securing global online recruitment leadership

Leading Peruvian media group and JobShark Ibero-America unite to propel Canadian success-story into Peru

TORONTO - JobShark Corporation, Canada's leading online recruitment firm, is cementing its global leadership with an aggressive expansion into Peru.

In launching JobShark Peru, the company completes its pan Latin American expansion, and remains as the world's only online recruiter to operate in North America, Europe and South America.

JobShark Iberoamerica, a subsidiary formed last year for JobShark's Latin American operations, enters the Peruvian market with a 50/50 joint venture with Empresa Editora El Comercio, the leading Peruvian media group, which owns among other media assets, the country's largest daily newspaper, El Comercio.

The new operating company in Peru is called EC JobShark, which is accessible through JobSharks main portal page at http://www.jobshark.com or direct at http://www.ec-jobshark.com.pe . JobShark is opening an office in Lima, and will focus on local opportunities while leveraging regional multinational clients through JobShark's other offices in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela.

Andrew MacDonald, JobShark Iberoamerica's Managing Director, said each partner brings a strength to the table. "JobShark Ibero-America will introduce our successful business model and our proprietary JAWS technology to Peru . (JAW's skills matching and discrete notification technology allows for more precise matching between corporate needs and job seekers' skills.)

"El Comercio will use its dominant market reach to drive registrants to EC JobShark and leverage upon its existing employment sections in its newspapers and its corporate client base to migrate customers to the EC JobShark solution."

Chris Klotz, the CEO of JobShark noted that JobShark is now nearing 300,000 subscribers in Latin America, representing the regions largest skill set profile database. "We quietly entered Chile one year ago, and Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, and Venezuela just last fall. " We are aggressively building our business in Latin America, in a marketplace 15 times the size of Canada. Our strategy is to dominate regionally in Latin America and we are well on our way to realizing this goal.

JobShark IberoAmerica is a company controlled by JobShark Corporation with local partners in Latin America that include the pre-eminent Web portal and content provider in the Spanish and Portuguese languages, ElSitio.com and MaST Americas, which is the Latin American arm of British-based MaST, a trans-national human resources and organizational development firm. JobShark has operations in nine countries, and concentrates on delivering superior candidates to recruiters through its proprietary skills profiling software JAWS.
