Commitment to Delivering Innovative Ways to Continue Enabling
High-Demand Careers
John Wiley and Sons Inc. (NYSE:JWA)(NYSE:JWB), a global leader
in research and education, announced today it has acquired Madgex,
a market-leading provider of advanced job board software and career
center services. Terms were undisclosed.
“Helping researchers and professionals thrive in their careers
is at the heart of everything we do, and our acquisition of Madgex
reinforces that commitment,” said Judy Verses, Executive Vice
President of Research for Wiley. “As we expand our product and service
offerings with Madgex, we will undoubtedly strengthen our value
proposition for societies and, in turn, their members
through peer networking, knowledge sharing and professional
development.”
Madgex has been a long-standing partner to Wiley starting with
the company’s first career center service, the Wiley Job Network,
in 2011. Since then, the expertise and software provided by Madgex
have helped drive the evolution of Wiley’s recruitment services,
connecting skilled professionals and researchers with open job
opportunities. With Madgex's
innovative job board technology and career center services and
Wiley's expertise delivering value for societies and publishers,
Wiley has become the only provider to offer
full-service solutions, including technology and sales, for
societies.
“Madgex is committed to supporting the recruitment industry
through our market-leading job board technology and career center
solutions. We’re excited to now officially combine Madgex’s job
board expertise with Wiley’s publishing experience and shared
commitment to the recruitment industry,” said Dan Meadows, CEO,
Madgex. “With Wiley, we’ll continue to partner with the world’s
most prestigious organizations across publishing, journalism,
associations and recruitment, providing the cutting-edge job board
technology, continuous innovation and expert support we are known
for.”
Wiley, as the leading scholarly society publisher in the world,
supports over 600 societies, whose mission is to advance scientific
knowledge, and four million members, who play a critical role in
driving research discoveries by connecting with peers at society
meetings and sharing key knowledge in society journals. Career
development advice and sharing of career opportunities on job
boards are additional benefits that societies offer its
members.
This announcement reinforces
Wiley’s focus on helping students, professionals and researchers

mthree, a global education services provider that addresses the
skills gap by finding, training and placing job-ready technology
talent in roles with leading corporations worldwide, further
illustrating the company’s momentum in the market.
