With so many things still in flux in the construction industry due to the effects of the pandemics, it’s an extremely important time for employers to be able to get their open positions in front of the right candidates and for job seekers to be able to take advantage of the opportunities that are available. Construction management software company, Procore, has recently released a new job posting platform specifically tailored to the construction industry for free.
The Construction Career Board, as the website is being called, is available now at no cost to both employers and job seekers and you don’t even have to be a Procore customer to take advantage of it. The platform is powered by Arcoro, a human resources management software company that serves the construction industry, among others.
Both employers and jobseekers will have to sign up for an account in order to post a resume, apply for a job, or post a position, but the required information is pretty minimal. The board is also available in both English and Spanish.
“Procore’s vision is to improve the lives of everyone in construction. Construction has been greatly impacted by the pandemic, and Procore wants to support the industry as best we can,” said Tooey Courtemanche, Procore CEO, in a press release. “Our new Construction Career Board leverages our network to connect people looking for work with those who are hiring. I hope this will be a helpful resource during these challenging times.”

For Jobseekers:
Searching for a job is simple, just type in a keyword and a location and the results will come back in seconds. You don’t need an account to search for positions, but will need one to be able to apply for a job or upload a resume. Jobseekers can also set up “Job Alerts” in order to be alerted if a job that fits your search criteria gets uploaded.
For Employers:
Not only do you get the benefit of posting your positions for free, those postings can also be easily transferred to BirdDogJobs, Glassdoor, and Indeed.
Bonus for Procore Community Members:
For those of you that are part of the Procore Community page (announced at Groundbreak 2019), the Procore team will also be offering three live sessions, focusing on:
Hiring best practices,
Making hiring decisions, and
Building talent brand and candidate attraction
To take advantage of these sessions, you do have to be a Procore user. More information can be found on the Procore Community page.
