Cigna Teams with jobipedia.org to Offer Job-Seekers Free Advice and Answers From Actual Recruiters
Global health service company Cigna (NYSE:CI) announced today that it is
teaming up with the website jobipedia.org
to offer recent college grads personal, free and timely answers about
job searches and the workplace directly from active company recruiters.
“In today’s highly competitive global job market, many of today’s recent
college graduates could use a primer for professional skills such as how
to behave in an interview or to assimilate into the workplace,” said
John Murabito, Cigna executive vice president, human resources.
“Jobipedia.org helps these graduates and other jobseekers get a better
understanding of what it really takes to find and keep a job in America.”
Jobipedia.org offers information on interviewing, resumes, compensation,
appropriate attire and workplace behavior. Jobipedia.org not only
provides credible and reliable job-related information, but it also
allows jobseekers to interact directly with experienced corporate
recruiters, a unique feature for a website of this scale. Jobipedia.org
was created by HR Policy Association in collaboration with Cigna and
other members of the Association, which represents over 340 chief human
resource officers of America’s largest companies.
Since the test launch of jobipedia.org, in October 2012, professional
recruiters from HR Policy member companies such as Cigna have posted
more than 1,200 personalized responses to questions. Over 60 of the
nation’s leading colleges and universities provide links to the site
from their career services websites, including Cornell, Duke, Georgia
Tech, NYU, Ohio State, University of San Diego, University of
Missouri-Kansas City and Tufts.
