November 11, 2006 - (HOSTSEARCH.COM) - A new job portal with a clear focus on the web hosting industry was launched yesterday. Host Careers (http://www.hostcareers.com) caters for both jobseekers and companies with vacant positions and job applications and listings through the site are currently available free of charge. The site took several months to develop and offers jobs in a range of categories, from customer support representatives to datacenter technicians and beyond. The site also offers Job Alerts and a free “job-search newsletter”.
“Host Careers is the culmination of countless discussions we have had over the past several years in regards to the future of the industry,” said Host Careers Lead Developer Mr. Eric Radtke. “We’ve developed a central, organized job portal for hosts. There’s no question that our site will finally streamline the stressful and often arduous task of finding qualified and experienced hosting professionals.”
Jobseekers are able to search for jobs using an array of criteria, including zip code, job type, keyword and company name, and post resumes which will be read by employers searching for staff.
“Our site is empowering—both for jobseekers and employers—because we offer features that significantly improve the job matching process. Cardinally, jobseekers can use our online WYSIWYG resume-building tool, and can even attach additional relevant files for prospective employers to review,” added Mr. Radtke.
To celebrate its launch Host Careers will be conducting a series of weekly prize drawings in partnership with leading industry players starting the week of November 20, 2006. Prizes include two Dell PDAs, an MP3 Player Combo, three iPod Nanos from Lunarpages and a Gameboy alongside a Sony Playstation Portable and an xBox 360.
