And the acquisition beat goes on. Another job board company has been acquired by a recruiting firm. Bradley-Morris has acquired RecruitMilitary.com a provider of job fairs and other recruiting services including an online job board.

They know how to market jobs and with the job market tightening, are due to experience more growth. No acquisition price was mentioned.
