Waltham, MA - Zoom Information, Inc., (www.zoominfo.com),
the search engine for discovering people, companies and relationships,
continued five years of rapidly accelerating growth and continued
profitability in the first quarter of 2006. ZoomInfo passed the
30-million summary mark in the same record-setting quarter in which it
also signed more than 160 new enterprise customers for ZoomInfo
PowerSearch. BASF Corporation, BearingPoint, Chicago Mercantile
Exchange, Cingular Wireless, Citigroup, Deloitte & Touche, Hyatt
Corp., Jack in the Box, Inc., McDonald's Corporation, PG&E Corp,
SilkRoad Technologies, Skanska USA Building and TIAA-CREF are among the
new customers added.
“ZoomInfo includes almost ten times the number of people as our next
largest competitor making it the de-facto source of information about
business people,” said Bryan Burdick, COO of Zoom Information Inc.
“Additionally, the major search engines deliver ZoomInfo summaries at
the top of their people search results. As a result, thousands of users
add their own information to ZoomInfo every week so that they can be
found when opportunity is looking – in the form of a new job or
business opportunity; they want to be where people are searching.”
ZoomInfo summaries are rapidly becoming the industry standard reference
when it comes to people’s work history. ZoomInfo has entered into
agreements with numerous companies to provide its summaries either
directly integrated into or linked to leading consumer sites. For
example, LinkedIn, a business-focused social networking site, and
A9.com, the search engine that researches and builds innovative search
technologies for its own site and for Amazon.com, both signed with Zoom
Information.
ZoomInfo allows users to create content for their own summaries, and to
comment and suggest changes to others’ summaries. With more than 30% of
the Fortune 100, nine of the top ten executive recruiting firms and
thousands of other customers using ZoomInfo, business people realize
the need to be found and presented at their best.
“ZoomInfo’s unequaled breadth and depth, and ease of use, have made it
a must-have tool for recruiters,” said Mike Souza, vice president of
sales for Zoom Information. “Additionally, JobCast, our comprehensive
candidate marketing platform we launched in December has really taken
off, further increasing the return on ZoomInfo investment for our
customers.”
