Quote

“ThomasNet is always looking for great talent to help industrial suppliers stand out from the competition and achieve their business goals. We first worked with Appirio to redesign our ThomasNet careers website using Force.com and within two months of going live we saw the number of qualified inquiries we receive each month increase by more than 500%. Now we’re extending our recruiting efforts to include a social networking component that will make it easier than ever for our existing sales representatives to have a role in our recruiting efforts.”
