SmartPost, the innovative online job posting and sourcing product from Bernard Hodes Group, recognizes that as businesses increasingly add green initiatives, they will need access to highly specialized talent to fill positions resulting from these environmentally conscious efforts. Answering the call to go green, SmartPost has recently added more than 100 new green job sites to its industry-leading e-media library including GreenJobStore.com, EnergyConservationJobs.com, and SolarJobStore.com.
Many companies are turning to green practices that conserve natural resources, eliminate waste and remain ecologically in balance. Some are cutting costs through more efficient business practices while others simply want to do something good for the Earth. Regardless of motivation, companies are adding more green jobs, as revealed by a 2008 CareerBuilder survey that indicated 13 percent of employers plan to add jobs that implement environmentally conscious design, policy and technology. Additionally, a Fast Company article , which lists green jobs as a leading growth segment, further illustrates how implementing green initiatives will gain popularity and an increased call for green jobs within the next decade.
To meet this growing demand and demonstrate its commitment to ecologically friendly business practices, SmartPost has increased the number of green sites to its e-media library à already the largest in the industry. The new green job sites cover positions such as solar designers and soil technicians to water resource engineers and wind energy developers. The e-media library contains thousands of various niche, regional, international, diversity, veteran and general job boards that provide recruiters with the most versatile resource available for a wide range of job advertising strategies.
As green hiring increases, competition for these highly specialized positions will be intense, said Carmen Doherty, senior director, SmartPost. Companies posting to the green job boards available inside SmartPost will be better positioned to showcase their commitment and be top of mind when the need arises to recruit individuals who specifically seek out companies with green initiatives and make a conscious decision to work for those companies that meet this criteria.
