CareerBuilder acquires CareerSite.biz

CareerBuilder, the global leader in human capital solutions, is taking the next step in its international expansion with the purchase of CareerSite.biz, parent of three successful career-related operations in the UK. Founded in 2001, CareerSite.biz operates two online recruitment niche sites focusing on nursing and railway workers as well as a successful virtual career fair business. As part of the deal, the following businesses will become part of the CareerBuilder family:
 
StaffNurse.com – the #1 destination for nurses, midwives, and health care assistants. Nursing professionals turn to StaffNurse.com first for the latest nursing jobs, nursing news, nursing directory and a nursing forum

RailwayPeople.com – the #1 online destination for UK rail professionals.  Rail professionals turn to railwaypeople.com first for the latest rail jobs, rail news, rail directory and rail forum

VirtualFair.co.uk – provider of media-rich career fair events, offering attendees a highly interactive environment while replicating aspects of a physical event
 
The acquisition of CareerSite.biz adds thousands of new job seekers to CareerBuilder’s international network. The new properties will retain their existing brand names, but will be powered by CareerBuilder technology. Financial terms surrounding the acquisition have not been released.
 
“The acquisition of Careersite.biz delivers on our commitment to gain access into key sectors of the workforce to support our clients hiring needs in the UK and across Europe,” said Farhan Yasin, President of CareerBuilder Europe and Middle East.
