Employers and recruiters seeking to fill positions can search MacTalent's database by geographic region and keyword, as well as by specific skills. There is no cost to employers to search the database. (Other similar employment sites cost employers up to U.S.$ 6,000 a year to search.) The MacTalent web site is being heavily promoted to executive recruiters, employment-related list servers and newsgroups, user groups, and human resources departments of Macintosh-friendly corporations. Employers can also post jobs in MacTalent's Classifieds section, and through July 31, the company will take 50 percent off the normal price of second and subsequent employer listings.

During its startup period, MacTalent is offering free six-month introductory listings to build its database of talent. This offer is only available through July 31, 1997. After the free offer expires, listings cost U.S.$ 49 for six months of a basic listing, which includes 200 words of background information and postings within as many categories as you like. An enhanced listing--U.S.$ 89 for six months--includes up to 1,500 words, and is suitable for posting a full resume.
