NAHB Members Find Job Seekers Online

Finding qualified workers to fill craft, technical and professional job vacancies in residential construction is not always an easy task, but NAHB members can get the help they need over the Internet.

The Building Careers Job Bank went online during last January’s International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas. Spearheaded by the NAHB Student Chapters program, the site links job seekers with employment opportunities throughout the NAHB federation.

The job bank received more than 200 new resumes during the Building Careers Job Fair held during the convention. Since going online, more than 700 companies have registered on the site.

Beazer Homes, one of the nation’s top 10 builders, has recruited workers at the job fair for the past six years, and they began to post positions at the job bank this winter.

“We thought we’d give it a try,” said Ed Snider, the company’s vice president of training in Addison, TX. “We got some great applicants and will use it again this spring as building continues and graduates start looking for jobs.”

The National Council of the Housing Industry — the Supplier 100 of NAHB — has been working with the Home Builders Institute to carry advertising from its members on the site.

Job seekers can use the site cost-free. A minimal fee is charged for job postings, based on a 30-day run. Special-rate packages are available to member companies posting more than one position.
