TOPBUILDINGJOBS.COM TO ADDRESS HIGH DEMAND FOR BUILDING INDUSTRY JOBS

ATLANTA, GA. – The growth of the building industry in America has been one of the most-discussed topics of the past two years. Lesser known is the struggle the industry has faced in finding qualified talent to fill its burgeoning ranks.

TopBuildingJobs.com is being touted as the only recruiting website that encompasses the entire building industry–residential construction, commercial construction, suppliers and vendors. The company is led by Leo J. Taylor, President & CEO of TopBuildingJobs.com, formerly Executive Vice President of Human Resources for Pulte Homes; Mark Matyanowski, Chief Operating Officer and co-founder; and Justin Webb, Executive Vice President and co-founder.

Several major building companies have already signed on as clients. TopBuildingJobs.com is a Web-based employment site that, in the words of Leo J. Taylor, "has the quality, effectiveness and strength that our industry deserves, with the custom capabilities that are unique to the building sector.”

"In the past, there were general sites that were great but did not meet the needs of builders and related businesses. Or, there were sites targeting the building industry that were mediocre in terms of the functionality they offered,” said Taylor. “TopBuildingJobs.com is going to be the central focus of employment—a place where employers can be assured they are hearing only from qualified candidates, a place where candidates can be confident they are only applying for legitimate jobs, and a place where valuable information and opportunities are contained in an easy-to-navigate, up-to-the-minute repository.”

Company leaders promise the very highest levels of technological facilitation, combined with features and special nuances that speak to the building community. Additionally, company executives are outlining their plans to serve as evangelists on behalf of their industry.

TopBuildingJobs.com CEO Leo J. Taylor is himself a veteran of one of the nation’s leading homebuilders. As Executive Vice President of Human Resources of Pulte Homes, Taylor saw first-hand the difficulties his company faced in finding great talent. Taylor believes his company's challenge is twofold.

"First, we need to establish a way for these terrific, growing companies to reach building professionals from all regions and all aspects of the business," he says. "Secondly, we need to ensure everyone knows the building business is one of the nations…and world’s…most important, most dynamic, and most fiscally impactful industries. There are many outstanding careers for people in the building industry that no one is telling them about." TopBuildingJobs.com intends to achieve the latter goal via a concentrated outreach effort targeting schools, careers counselors, and students throughout the U.S.

"There is a tremendous need for this," Taylor concludes. "TopBuildingJobs.com fills that need. We're going to take a huge challenge my peers have grappled with for years, and turn it into one of the best company and career building opportunities in the history of this country.”
