ConstructionJobs.com Named a Top 100 Job Board

ConstructionJobs.com, which powers the NAHB Career Center, was recently named one of the top 100 online employment sites by WEDDLE’s LLC, the world’s largest publisher of print guides to the 100,000+ job boards now operating on the Internet.

WEDDLE’s released its selections in conjunction with the publication of its “2009/10 Guide to Employment Sites on the Internet.”

 “Our Top 100 employment sites are the elite of the job board industry,” says WEDDLE’s publisher Peter Weddle. “They have the strongest brands, the best services and the most distinguished track records of the sites we’ve seen on the Web.”

“ConstructionJobs.com is honored in being selected as one of the elite in the job board industry. All of the employees at ConstructionJobs.com take pride in our job board and strive to make our site an effective and efficient resource for our clients and job seekers,” said Charlie Kimmel, president of ConstructionJobs.com.

The site selection methodology included a comprehensive review of information submitted by the sites describing their features, services and fees as well as information provided by job seekers, employers and recruiters who have used the site.

In addition, each site was visited to assess its user experience and level of maintenance.

NAHB launched its online building industry-oriented career center in 2006 to provide members with a cost-effective recruiting solution that makes locating qualified candidates and advertising open positions faster and easier.
