Penton’s Agriculture Group Launches Online Career Center Connecting Agribusiness Professionals
4/24/2008
NEW YORK (April 24, 2008) - Penton Media's Agriculture Group today announced the launch of its new targeted online career center, AgriBizJobs.com at
www.agribizjobs.com. The site offers industry employers a growing, qualified audience of agriculture professionals, while providing industry jobseekers with agribusiness-specific, categorized job listings. AgriBizJobs is a joint effort of Penton's leading agricultural brands including BEEF, Corn and Soybean Digest, Farm Industry News, Farm Press, Hay and Forage Grower and National Hog Farmer and will be promoted across all of these branded print and online outlets.
Employers can view complete but anonymous resumes for free, and pay only to connect with a jobseeker. Jobseekers can post resumes in agriculture-specific employment categories and sign up to receive e-mail alerts when new positions are posted that match their search criteria. The site's Anonymous Resume Bank enables both active and passive jobseekers to list their experience and qualifications in a protected environment, allowing them to stay connected to the employment market while maintaining full control of their confidential information.
"AgriBizJobs offers agribusiness companies the ability to target and recruit top professionals and specialists in the agribusiness community, while eliminating the need for industry applicants to search through thousands of non-agricultural listings on other job sites," said Greg Frey, group publisher.
