BIN: Black Information Network

BIN: Black Information Network, a 24/7 national and local all-news audio service with a Black voice and perspective, and CareerBuilder are joining forces to launch "100,000 Careers," a first-of-its-kind career initiative platform that aims to connect employers who are seeking a highly qualified and diverse workforce with Black American job seekers who are looking to advance to higher levels or start a career.

"This strategic partnership directly aligns with our mission of building personal success for all and will guide Black Information Network listeners to a host of tools that connect them to roles that best suit their skills leading to more meaningful careers," said CareerBuilder Chief Marketing Officer Kristin Kelley. "This partnership and the 100,000 Careers platform are both vital in bringing a valuable resource and job search experience to the Black community, and employers can now access a larger group of diverse candidates and talented workers."

The platform will utilize the scale of BIN: Black Information Network to promote opportunities across broadcast, podcast, digital and social platforms. Additionally, over 100 iHeartMedia Hip Hop, R&B and Gospel stations are supporting this effort by broadcasting daily career spotlights, real life testimonials, high-frequency broadcast messaging, as well as podcasting and streaming mentions.

"One of our highest priorities has been to call attention to the disproportionate income and unemployment gaps the Black community faces," added iHeartMedia Multiplatform Group Division President and BIN: Black Information Network President Tony Coles. "That's why we are thrilled that our partners at CareerBuilder have joined us in this effort to help 100,000 listeners not only find work, but to help them leverage their transferrable skills to build careers."
