While job growth in the U.S. continues to remain elusive for most industry sectors, jobs related to the environment, or “green jobs” are growing. With several studies predicting continued growth in green jobs, at least one organization has emerged to help both employer and job seeker benefit from this thriving sector.
GreenJobs.pro is a job match site that uses proprietary technology to match qualified job seekers and professionals with green companies based on multiple dimensions. This formula has been so successful that GreenJobs.pro has been able to make more than 2,000 matches and introductions in the month of January alone.
The quality with which GreenJobs.pro performs its matching function caught the attention of the U.S. Department of Labor which selected GreenJobs.pro as its number one rated new job search tool. As a result, GreenJobs.pro has a permanent listing on the D.O.L. Career one Stop website to help the 20 million unemployed Americans find sustainable employment.
“Helping companies meet and exceed their green and corporate social responsibility is the primary driver behind the creation and growth of GreenJobs.pro” says Founder and President, Dennis Cail. Based out of Dallas, TX, Cail, a self-described Social and Serial Entrepreneur, says GreenJobs.pro is based on one simple premise, “The most renewable resource on this planet is people and that is our focus, people and the planet.”
The roster of companies working with GreenJobs.pro to find qualified candidates is impressive and continues to grow. Employers that list their jobs on GreenJobs.pro are leading the environmental charge and striving to minimize their environmental impact in ways that are relevant to their business.
"We believe in being good corporate citizens and GreenJobs.pro helps us expand our CSR initiatives while filling vacant positions with highly qualified resources," says Herman Darnell, IT Manager, The Walt Disney Company.
Job seekers are also discovering the opportunities in this market. According to Cail, Greenjobs.pro is experiencing 200% growth every month in new job seeker registrations since its launch in November, 2009.
“I had no idea that my current experience qualified me for a sustainable job,” said one applicant. “With GreenJobs.pro I started getting job matches right away and received two job offers. It’s just nice to have options again.”
Launched with emphasis on cleaner and greener jobs, GreenJobs.pro is revolutionizing the way jobs are filled and created. GreenJobs.Pro is a job matching system dedicated to helping companies reduce their carbon emissions and achieve their corporate social responsibility objectives by hiring smarter and creating better energy efficient jobs.
