Jobson Acquires Minority Interest in LES

by localeyesite on October 3, 2011

Dear LES Community,

You may have read some recent news with regards to Local Eye Site (LES), and our new partner, Jobson Medical Information (JMI).  JMI touts more than 50 years in business as the leading information and communications service provider in the eye care industry.  I wanted to communicate directly about this exciting event to be clear about the positive impact this partnership will have on our business, and the service we provide you, our customer.  Press Release

In May of 2010, we announced a relationship with JMI, in which LES would “power” job pages on the websites of well established JMI brands, such as 20/20 Magazine, Vision Monday, Review of Ophthalmology, Review of Optometry, SightNation and Review of Optometric Business.  This relationship established the foundation of the “LES Power Network,” the network of eye care sites to which jobs posted on LES are fed.  Additionally, JMI agreed to provide significant exposure for the LES brand through the vast reach of their electronic and print communications.  The result has been an explosion in volume and targeted exposure of LES jobs and greater amounts of traffic from eye care professionals, resulting in a more powerfully effective product for job-seekers and recruiting organizations.

After more than a year of successfully working with JMI via our original agreement, it became apparent that our synergistic business strategies would benefit from a closer relationship.  Therefore, we gladly welcomed JMI on board as partners in the LES business in September. We are thrilled because we share a vision to leverage technology and industry targeted exposure to provide eye care related organizations with a streamlined staffing solution that gets the job done with unmatched efficiencies.

For nearly four years, the eye care community has embraced the LES mission to build a  solution from the ground up that would revolutionize the way eye care organizations recruit.  I wanted to communicate today, because it’s important to note that our new relationship with Jobson Medical will only enhance our ability to follow through with that mission.  Thank you for your continued support, and for being a part of the LES community.

Sincerely,

Brad McCorkle
Founder
LES
