Vienna, Va, January 19, 2009 - Convera, a leading provider of vertical search and audience development solutions for publishers, today announced the launch of International HR Search, a custom search site for the global human resources industry, with publishing partner BNA. "International HR Search is a custom solution that allows HR professionals to find the most relevant information about their industry quickly and easily," said Robert Shew, Group Publisher of BNA Human Resources and Payroll division. "HR, benefits, and payroll professionals turn to BNA to get fast answers to the questions they face every day.

With our new custom search site, we can provide our member community a quick and relevant user experience when they are searching. We present them with results and information from the human resources slice of the web as well as results from our HR and Payroll publications.” Each of the websites and resources included in the custom International HR search database has been selected by the editors of BNA. The search results can be organized by geographic region such as Americas, Africa/Middle East, Asia/Pacific, Europe/UK, or all international HR sites.

Shew added, “Convera enabled us to integrate vertical search into the research and exploration workflow of our international online community. We are planning to enhance our custom International HR search solution with refinements and downloadable widgets further extending the value of our content and services to HR professionals.”
