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. In response to this industry-wide need to consistently find qualified talent, building industry leaders at TopBuildingJobs.com announced today that over 5,000 positions by hundreds of homebuilding and construction companies are being searched daily on their building industry employment site.

TopBuildingJobs.com is being touted as the only recruiting website that encompasses the entire building industry–residential construction, commercial construction, suppliers and vendors. Leo J. Taylor, CEO of TopBuildingJobs.com says that this “web-based employment site has thousands of career opportunities and hundreds of outstanding companies within the building 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 industry's challenge is twofold.

"First, we need to establish a way for fast- growing building companies to reach talented professionals in all disciplines and from all regions of the country," 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 sound industries.” TopBuildingJobs.com intends to achieve the latter goal via an aggressive marketing effort aimed at reaching graduating students entering the job market as well as seasoned business professionals from within and outside the building industry.

"There is an incredible opportunity for TopBuildingJobs.com to be the only source for building companies to find qualified talent to manage the projected size and scope of the industry growth," says Mark Matyanowski, Chief Operating Officer. "This job search engine is the only place that candidates can be confident they are applying for legitimate jobs within the industry and where they can find valuable tools and information to assist them in their career objectives.” adds Justin Webb, Executive Vice President.

“I am delighted to hear the announcement of a job search engine devoted exclusively to the building industry. Homebuilding companies in particular, have continually struggled with finding professionals who have the experience needed for the expansion and demand of the industry. They now have the opportunity to recruit from a larger pool of contenders because they are coming from all sectors of the industry. This is a major milestone for the building industry.” says Niles D. Crum, Publishing Director-Building and Construction Group with Reed Publications, publishers of Professional Builder, GIANTS, Custom Builder and Professional Remodeler magazines. He adds “Candidates will also have the chance to look for a job in small to large companies; from Washington to Florida; in homebuilding, commercial construction, suppliers or vendors. This is great for the industry.”
