VIRTUAL SPA'S 'MATCHMAKING' SERVICE UNVEILED

Recruiting, hiring and retaining top talent is among the most vexing challenges facing today's spa owner. For many practitioners, just knowing where to search for people is problematic. To that end, Virtual Spa (www.virtualspa.com), an all-inclusive online resource for today's spa professional, has unfurled a new job bank that allows candidates to post resumes and spa managers to privately view these applicants online.

Virtual Spa's Job Bank, one of a dozen new online help areas featured in the newly designed site, provides the kind of functionality not often found on spa industry web sites.

"Our newly design job site takes a lot of the leg work out of having to find the right people and match their skills sets with the available positions," said Caren M. Thornburgh, CEO, Virtual Spa. "The functionality of this job site, will make it an invaluable resource for today's spa professionals."

The Job Bank is one of several enhanced components of the Virtual Spa website. Resource Center, for example, enables spa practitioners to research their target market and promote their business through advertising (a free company listing is included). The multi-faceted Consulting Services area gives professionals the tools to conduct proper feasibility studies, a necessary step before starting a business. For those already in the business, Consulting Services is a must-see area for learning and implementing best practices, being able to hire and train effectively, and to maximize profit potential through savvy merchandising.
