A long-time client of 3 Media Web, SALMON Health and Retirement requested a separate website for recruiting applicants for open positions in their eight locations. They wanted a website with an up-to-date, contemporary feel and a website design that would be competitive in the sometimes–difficult healthcare recruitment arena.
