Jobbguiden.se Renamed CareerBuilder.se


STOCKHOLM, Sweden, December 9 /PRNewswire/ --

- Leading Swedish Employment Site Launches New Enhancements and Marketing 
Campaign -

Jobbguiden.se, a leading online employment site in Sweden and a
subsidiary of the largest online job site in the U.S, CareerBuilder.com,
announced it will assume the CareerBuilder name. Founded in 2004, Jobbguiden
was one of the original online job sites in Sweden and has connected millions
of job seekers and employers over the past several years. Johan Hjelte,
former Director and one of the founders of Jobbguiden.se, will lead
CareerBuilder.se as Managing Director.

"Jobbguiden helped transform the face of recruiting in Sweden as one of
the best online employment resources," said Johan Hjelte, Managing Director
of CareerBuilder.se. "CareerBuilder has a deep commitment for constant
innovation and helped define online recruitment in the U.S. The CareerBuilder
brand is synonymous with innovation, quality and results and this strong
reputation will help us continue to grow our presence in Sweden."

CareerBuilder.se will feature several site enhancements and be supported
by a new marketing plan, including:

-- New, easy-to-navigate Web site design.
    -- Despite a challenging economic environment, an amplified marketing 
       plan will include national television advertising and online 
       advertising.
    -- Revamped resume recommendation engine to help employers connect with
       the right candidates by instantly matching key words and phrases from
       resumes and job postings.
    -- Improved job seeker recommendations which will take information from a
       candidate's resume or from jobs for which they have searched and
       applied and recommend related jobs fitting the same criteria that they
       may have not noticed or never considered.



"CareerBuilder.se will continue to be a rising star in the online
recruitment space in Sweden, and the site's valuable perspective of the
issues that are critical to Swedish employers and workers will continue to
drive business decisions," said Farhan Yasin, President of Europe, Middle
East and Africa for CareerBuilder.com. "As talent recruitment and management
strategies continue to transcend global borders, CareerBuilder's role as one
of the worldwide leaders will help companies better address their global
talent challenges."

CareerBuilder began international expansion in the fall of 2006, building
its presence through a combination of organic development, partnerships and
acquisitions as market conditions warranted. CareerBuilder has launched
organic sites in Canada, the United Kingdom, India, Spain, Germany, Norway,
Switzerland, Italy, Romania and Belgium. In addition, CareerBuilder has
acquired sites in France (Lesjeudis.com), the Netherlands (JobbingMall.nl)
and Greece (Kariera.gr). CareerBuilder also maintains strong partnerships in
China with 51Jobs, South Korea with Incruit and the Middle East with Gulf
Talent.
