Subscriber Services

The following publications and services are available only to Contract Employment Weekly and ContractJobHunter subscribers (unless otherwise noted). We provide our subscribers with the most extensive selection of job-seeking resources that have ever been assembled for the contract employment industry.

Contract Employment Weekly Magazine (printed) - C.E. Weekly is published every Wednesday. Its primary purpose is to furnish subscribers with information about immediate and anticipated contract job openings throughout the United States, Canada and overseas. C.E. Weekly also includes editorials, letters, and articles of interest to those working in the contract employment industry. Contract staffing firm offices advertise their job openings each week in C.E. Weekly, the only publication in the U.S. devoted to the contract employment industry. Most jobs are for short and/or long term contract (temporary) assignments. They usually offer higher pay rates than similar direct (captive) positions. There should never be a fee to apply for or accept any of the jobs advertised in C.E. Weekly (or on CJHunter.com). Every job opening, article, letter, and editorial that is published in C.E. Weekly is also posted on CJHunter.

Cost: to U.S. addresses: $50/year, $30/12 weeks, $4/single issue; to Canada or Mexico: $60/year, $35/12 weeks, $5/single issue; to all other foreign addresses: $250/year, $75/12 weeks, $7/single issue. Note: Single issues do not include full electronic access to CJHunter.com.

Then, at the end of the day, those listings will be emailed to you stating the name of the recruiting firm, contact information, and all the data we have about each job.

Online Resume Database - Subscribers can upload, edit, and view their resume in our online database. Both text and formatted resumes can be stored, as well as an Online Profile (see Online Profile paragraph for more details).Your resume is then available to ContractJobHunter and C.E. Weekly advertisers, along with the most recent 10 weeks' Hot Sheets (see Hot Sheet paragraph for more details).

There are several methods that subscribers can use to enter their resume into the online database:

4. Email your resume(s) to: resume@cjhunter.com (no charge)
5. Submit a scannable resume to us ($5 per page)
6. C.E. inputs 1-2 job updates to your existing online resume ($10)

E-Resume - This is a very simple service to use and can save a considerable amount of time whenever you search our jobs database. With E-Resume, all a subscriber needs to do is check a box for every firm to whom you want your resume emailed, then click a single submit button. Your online resume will be automatically emailed to all selected contract firms, with an attached memo stating the specific job posting to which you are responding. You will also be able to review and edit your online resume before submitting.

Daily Resume Distribution - When a subscriber first enters a resume into our online database, you can instruct us to email it to all current ContractJobHunter and C.E. Weekly advertisers. Firms can choose to receive all new resumes, submit keywords to receive only selected resumes, or receive no resumes at all. Every time that resume is updated online, it can once again be emailed to the firms. Subscribers can opt out of this service if they are just updating their resume or not currently available for a new assignment. Resumes are emailed at the end of each day.

Cost: $2.00 per resume emailed. A minimum deposit of $10 is required if you wish to use this service.

Online Profile - Every day, recruiters perform hundreds of searches of our resume database. Each time that happens, a recruiter usually locates many resumes that match their keyword search. Often subscribers, whose resumes are retrieved, have certain requirements that do not generally appear on their resumes. For example: Are you currently available, or are you working now and won't be available for a couple of months? … What is the minimum rate you will accept? … Where would you prefer to work? … Will you consider direct positions, or only contract? … How do you prefer to work, W2 or 1099? …etc. Your personal profile allows you to make that information available to recruiters. It is critical that you keep your profile very current! … especially the status of your availability. This service is only as effective for you as the effort you devote to it.

Resume View Alert - Every time your online resume is viewed, downloaded or printed by a contract staffing firm...we immediately email you a notification. Included in the email is the name of the firm, the recruiter's name (if known), keywords that the recruiter used to find your resume, and contact information. Keep in mind that we must have your current email address on file in order for you to participate in this service. Here, too, you may opt out this service if you choose.

Resume Email Forwarding History - Subscribers can track their resume forwarding history to see when and to whom their online resume has been emailed from our website. This service tracks resumes sent by: email, during online job searches at our website, month-end mailings, etc.

C.E. Locator Service - This is a special phone number that contract staffing firms can call to locate a subscriber (when they don't have your current contact information). Subscribers are encouraged to furnish us with permanent contacts, cell phone numbers, perhaps even a friend or relative who would know how to reach you even if you should relocate. The C.E.
