Last week we featured a quick blurb on a new green jobs portal, GoingGreenJobs.com, powered by the ever-popular-amongst-job-seekers Careerbuilder.com. Now, another contender is stepping into the ring with GreenFootJobs.com – a free career site for green jobs that combines resumes and detailed profile pages with green job opportunities.

Last week we featured a quick blurb on a new green jobs portal, GoingGreenJobs.com, powered by the ever-popular-amongst-job-seekers Careerbuilder.com. Now, another contender is stepping into the ring with GreenFootJobs.com – a free career site for green jobs that combines resumes and detailed profile pages with green job opportunities.

The new site was quietly unveiled by GreenFoot Technologies at the Renewable Energy World North American Expo in March to gauge industry response to the concept of a ‘one-stop shop’ for green businesses seeking the talent acquisition necessary for this rapidly expanding market.

“Market response to our GreenFootJobs.com website and career board has been excellent,” said Wade Bodlovic, CEO of GreenFoot Technologies. “Since our soft introduction in March, GreenFootJobs.com has seen 250% growth month over month. “All indications from both our career providers and career seekers suggest that we can expect to continue our strong growth results,” added Bodlovic.

In the few short months since its “birth”, GreenFootJobs.com has attracted thousands of job seekers in the U.S.

One-stop-shop for green jobs

“GreenFoot was created to satisfy the high demand of green employers looking for quality professionals who are either green experienced or committed to seeking a green career” says Bodlovic. “By building a better marketplace for Green Careers and exposing the resumes of career seekers at the various conferences and expos that green organizations are attending, GreenFootJobs.com will become the ultimate source for all green-career related activity. We will in effect ‘walk the show floor’ for the job seekers.”

Green businesses are utilizing the site to significantly improve their challenging talent acquisition needs. Additionally, GreenFoot has committed to rewarding its members who use the site by paying out $50.00 for referrals that are hired via the portal. Job seekers who are looking to “green” their careers are encouraged to upload their resumes to GreenFoot where many industry leading employers are able to browse them and potentially qualify them for open positions.

In addition to GreenFootJobs.com, GreenFoot Technologies offers other career related services such as its GreenFoot Staffing Solutions division. This division supports several global leaders in the Clean Technology, Renewable Energy and Smart Grid Technology markets and has been servicing them over the past five years by way of staff augmentation, permanent placements and outsourced staffing solution models.
