Careernation.Com Announces First Annual Recruiting Expo-Houston

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bringing together young professionals of African backgrounds with leading African and U.S companies, CareerNation's second Recruiting Expo is coming to Houston Reliant Center July 27-29 2007. Hard to find African talents, academics, and policy advisors will participate in panel discussions and events.

Following up on the success of its first recruiting event, CareerNation.com - the human resources center dedicated to connecting its more than 40,000 candidates to registered employers - is launching the first of several job expositions throughout the United States this year. Its goal is to help strengthen business culture in Africa, and, by doing so, to bolster African economies.

Each year, CareerNation puts on huge job fairs in several cities. “We are unapologetic about recruiting people of African descent,” Madubuko says. At the most recent CareerNation Expo-USA, held in New York City in April, 27 offers were extended to African-Americans, Africans from Africa, Afro-Latinos and Afro-Caribbeans for electrical engineering, procurement management and project management jobs paying in the six figures, he says. Eskom, South Africa’s electricity giant and one of the world’s top seven utilities, is recruiting through CareerNation for its five-year, $21 billion upgrade of electricity generation and delivery in southern Africa. “It is going specifically for candidates of African descent,” ,” says Victor Madubuko, founder and CEO of CareerNation.com.

In 2005, CareerNation's first exposition introduced 1,000 pre-screened candidates to fifty representatives of hiring companies. The candidates also participated in the “African Brain Gain Conference,” in which more than twenty speakers - such as African policy advisors, UN representatives, and corporate executives - discussed solutions for the reinvigorating of African economies.

This year's expositions will go beyond by expanding the reach to other major metropolitan markets, including Atlanta, Houston, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and Boston.

Hailed as “the number-one job site for job searching in the African market,” by Steven Hayes, president of the Corporate Council on Africa, CareerNation.com was founded in 2003 by Madubuko. With offices in both New York, Nairobi, and Abuja, Nigeria, CareerNation keeps extending its goal to open up global companies to international recruitment. The website features a job board, a resume database, and professional human resources services.
