The Sponsored Job Gave us the Attention We Needed

“We got a wonderful response. And I have to factor in that we used the sponsored job so I am sure that played into it. It was my first time using your site and I would definitely use Poynter Career Center again."

-- Lynn Cunningham, The Times Picayune



Very Pleased with the Quality of Candidates

"We were very pleased with the quality of candidates that we received from our Poynter placement. I’d certainly be inclined to use them again the next time we’re recruiting someone.When you hire stars you can do anything."

-- Toby Maloney, mental_floss.



Would Definitely Use Poynter Again

“We have good candidates from our ad and I would definitely use Poynter Career Center again."

-- Karen Waldron, Southern Illinois University School of Journalism



Other Voices

“We did get good candidates and would definitely use Poynter Career Center again.”

-- Jodie Leese Glusco, Deputy Director Digital News Group, The Record



“A huge pool of candidates responded and a large portion said they came through Poynter Career Center. Someone on campus suggested I use you and I am sure glad I did.”

-- Bill Hoyle, Associate Dean for Admissions and Financial Aid, Duke University



"We've been able to identify some strong candidates after both posting our openings and searching the posted resumes on Poynter's Career Center site. In one instance, a call to someone who'd placed her resume on the site led us to a great referral."

-- Sheila Solomon, Senior Editor for Recruitment, Chicago Tribune



"We were very pleased with our response. We had good applicants and will be sifting through these now… We were very pleased with the level of applicants we received and would use Poynter Career Center again!"

-- Catherine Niekro, Alumni Association, University of Michigan



"Absolutely would post with you again. We received great feedback from candidates and thought it was well worth it."

-- Jill Aniskoff, Hartford Courant



"I’ve had two applications so far within the first day of posting and I reached out to two more candidates I found in the resume database. Lots of views, most likely because of the upsell into the highlighted job. Well worth the $175."

-- Christine Montgomery, Director of Electronic Publishing, St. Petersburg Times



"We received many applications from well qualified candidates. We found the right person, thanks to Poynter’s great website."

-- Jeffrey Dvorkin, Executive Director, Committee of Concerned Journalists



"My experience using the Career Center has been a very good one. Navigating through the site was easy, posting the job was a breeze, and I found your customer service (Colleen Eddy to be exact) to be refreshing & outstanding! I was quite surprised to get a call from Colleen to ask me about my experience and to remind me that my posting was soon expiring. I found it very easy to re-post as well. I like the fact that I can find out how many times the job was viewed and who applied online. I did have candidates apply directly and mentioned they saw the job on your site. When I had a specific question about one part of the posting, I called Colleen. She took the time to discuss the issue with me, called the vendor and got back to me with an answer – all within less than an hour.

So thank you for a great experience. I know that we’ll be using the site in the future."

-- Patti Kallander,HR Administrator, Union Leader Corporation



“I got some terrific candidates and I thank you for your help with the ad (on Poynter Career Center). I certainly would use you again.”

-- Alex Oringer, Washington Business Journal



“I got a good pool of applicants and would definitely use you again.”

-- Phyllis Phillips, Elon University
