Finding and filling high-tech jobs is about to get a whole lot easier.

CMP Media Inc., a leading provider of high-technology news and information, and HotJobs.com, a leading Internet recruiting solutions provider, are teaming up to create a series of job boards catering to high-tech professionals.

HotJobs.com (NASDAQ: HOTJ) will build and operate the job boards for CMP Media's leading Web sites including EDTN Network, Information Week, Internet Week, Planet IT, and Commweb. The co-branded job boards will be featured within career portals customized to serve the needs of each respective high- technology vertical market.

The launch of these co-branded job boards is the next step in CMP's strategy to deliver high-tech professionals the means to manage the increasing challenges in today's fast-moving Internet economy, where finding the right talent can be the difference between success and failure.

"High-tech professionals were the first to embrace the Internet as an efficient resource for finding jobs and finding talent, " said Seth Nichols, CEO of CMP's Internet Group. "CMP's audience of more than 3.2 million technology professionals is the ideal environment for HotJobs' award-winning technology and high-quality job listings."

The co-branded board will include all of the benefits and features found on HotJobs.com, including career tools, industry resources and more. Framing the new job boards will be a wealth of popular career management features, including CMP's salary surveys, advice on personal career management, success strategies for recruitment and retention of key staff and access to skill measurement and training resources.

"CMP's Web sites have earned the trust and respect of top-tier technology professionals who consider successful career management -- both for themselves and for their employees -- a primary goal," said Marc Cenedella, Vice President, Business Development, HotJobs. "HotJobs' and CMP's audience share a vision of success and value personal control of their careers through the power of first-class information resources. We are pleased to partner with CMP in the development of their career resources."
