Jobing.com continued its national expansion plans with its largest acquisition to date.
 
The Phoenix-based job board has purchased WorkMetro, an operator of local employment Web sites in 22 markets. Joe Cockrell, Jobing.com’s director of public relations, declined to disclose the price of the acquisition, which was announced Monday, February 4.
 
WorkMetro has a presence in large markets, including Atlanta; Pittsburgh; Baltimore; Nashville, Tennessee; Philadelphia; Tampa, Florida; Miami; St. Louis; and Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina.
 
This is the ninth acquisition for Jobing in the past four years, as it has purchased online job boards that don’t have national brands but are deeply entrenched in local communities. Some of the acquisitions include ColoradoJobs.com, California Online Job Network and CanJobs.com.
