CareerBoard and The Columbus Chamber
Partner to Help Small Businesses Grow


(COLUMBUS, OH) - The Columbus Chamber and CareerBoard announce a partnership that will link Chamber members to online recruitment and career development products. Helping businesses grow and develop is at the heart of the Chamber which works hard to create opportunities to network, learn and save money on a company's bottom line. The Columbus Chamber continually evaluates member's needs and seeks opportunities to bring value to its members.

CareerBoard.com offers career development products such as a local online database of job openings, a database of the most qualified, local candidates and more. Chamber members can post available positions at a reduced rate.

"CareerBoard has a special interest in working with small, local businesses, a key audience served by our Chamber," said Gary Sweet, vice president, membership services, Columbus Chamber. "This partnership can strengthen the development of area businesses through good employee and employer matches."

CareerBoard joins existing Chamber partners that support member companies by providing money-saving offers. Chamber programs include healthcare, workers' compensation, natural gas, and human resource support.

"Small and medium-sized businesses tell us that through their Columbus Chamber membership, they can save money and impact their budget in a positive way," said Sweet.
