Live From DMA06: Job Bank and Identity Theft Prevention Program Started

The Direct Marketing Association on Monday launched a new job bank and identity theft prevention initiative.

DMA members and non-members will able list jobs, post resumes and search for jobs and candidates to fill positions. The database will includes features such as automated alerts for employers when resume matches are found for ideal job candidates.

Consumer educational materials have been created by the DMA based on materials developed by the Federal Trade Commission. Information is available for DMA members to customize and integrate with their marketing efforts. The goal is to help consumers avoid identity theft and to know what to do if they suspect personal information is being misused.
