NAA partners with ApartmentCareers.com. (Industry Insider--In the Loop Business News).

The National Apartment Association (NAA) announced the launch of the NAA Career Center (www.naahq.org) powered exclusively by ApartmentCareers.com (www.apartmentcareers.com).

The NAA Career Center offers industry employers and job seekers a highly visible and low-cost employment forum. In addition to reducing recruitment costs dramatically by allowing committed professionals already working in the apartment industry to have access to jobs openings with NAA member companies, the Career Center serves as a resource to attract hundreds of thousands of job seekers pursuing a new career path.

With an increasingly competitive labor market, the NAA Career Center offers industry employers and job seekers a highly visible and low-cost way to get connected. "Finding and attracting new sources of talent is one of the biggest problems facing our industry at this time," said NAA Executive Vice President, Doug Culkin, CAE. "As the largest trade association representing the apartment industry and its service providers, we are uniquely positioned to help employers target seasoned employees already working within the industry, as well as talented professionals pursuing new career opportunities."

"The Career Center will provide an innovative method for our members to recruit employees," said Culkin. More than a job board, the NAA Career Center incorporates a leading technology applicant tracking system that allows a company to manage the entire hiring process from job posting to start date. All a member needs is Internet access.

John Cullens, ApartmentCareers.Com Managing Partner, described the NAA Career Center as "a forum where employers and job seekers can find each other online." Employers are encouraged to post all levels of positions, from entry-level to management and from owner/manager to product and service members.
