For the month of August, we’re taking over Talent Factor to look more closely at CareerBuilder’s recent acquisitions — and how they’re making a big impact on your business in 2016 and beyond.
We’ve seen time and again how labor market data, when used to inform decision-making, can change lives and improve economies. It was a natural decision back in 2012, then, for CareerBuilder to joining forces with Economic Modeling Specialists Intl. (Emsi), an economic software firm that specializes in employment data and labor market analysis, to combine the companies’ strengths and passion for empowering employment. Emsi’s mission is to provide clients with a truly unique perspective on current and future employment trends, skills development and recruitment strategies — and actionable insights that cover over 99 percent of the workforce.
As CareerBuilder CEO Matt Ferguson has said, “No one else in the industry can offer this breadth of information that can make recruitment faster, easier and more cost-effective.”
