BIN Partners With CareerBuilder
• iHeartMedia’s BIN: Black Information Network has joined forces with CareerBuilder, the global talent acquisition leader and job marketplace platform, to launch “100,000 Careers,” a first-of-its-kind career initiative platform with a mission to help people in the Black community find a job and build the career of their dreams by connecting employers seeking a highly qualified and diverse workforce with Black American job seekers who are looking to advance to higher levels or start a career.
The platform includes tools to help candidates get started, such as job listings, easy resume building, and custom content designed to help Black listeners identify their transferrable skills and discover new careers. The 100,000 Careers platform will be a one-stop-shop for connecting employers with Black American career-seekers looking to advance.
“This strategic partnership directly aligns with our mission of building personal success for all and will guide Black Information Network listeners to a host of tools that connect them to roles that best suit their skills leading to more meaningful careers,” said Kristin Kelley, Chief Marketing Officer at CareerBuilder. “This partnership and the 100,000 Careers platform are both vital in bringing a valuable resource and job search experience to the Black community, and employers can now access a larger group of diverse candidates and talented workers.”
The platform will leverage the scale of BIN: Black Information Network to promote opportunities across broadcast, podcast, digital and social platforms. Additionally, over 100 iHeartMedia Hip Hop, R&B and Gospel stations are supporting this effort by broadcasting daily career spotlights, real life testimonials, high-frequency broadcast messaging, as well as podcasting and streaming mentions.
Tony Coles, Division President of iHeartMedia Multiplatform Group and President of BIN: Black Information Network, commented, “One of our highest priorities has been to call attention to the disproportionate income and unemployment gaps the Black community faces. That’s why we are thrilled that our partners at CareerBuilder have joined us in this effort to help 100,000 listeners not only find work, but to help them leverage their transferrable skills to build careers.”
