Des Moines, IA (November 19, 2003) - NationJob.com, one of the Internet's most-visited employment web sites, was named among the top three companies best at protecting private information in a recent study by the World Privacy Forum. The World Privacy Forum is a California based nonprofit organization that studies technology's effect on privacy. NationJob Network, founded in 1988, is a premier nationwide Internet recruiting site.
The World Privacy Forum looked at data-sharing policies of 53 job-search web sites and more than 200 resume-writing services. "It (NationJob) is notably privacy-friendly" The World Privacy Forum. NationJob is among the top three companies for a number of reasons. First, there is "no registration required prior to looking at job ads". Second, NationJob has "no third party cookies of any type".
