Jobmax - Supporting a full vertical market

The job board market is crammed full to bursting with sites offering a vast array of services and claims to dominate niche markets.  The food industry became a very popular market to be during the recession (after all we all have to eat - right?)

Food Manufacturing, Hospitality and Food Service is already well covered by some well known names who do a great job for recruiters and corporate talent spotters - so why add another?

Well Jobmax has been online since 2005. Originally launched as a manufacturing and engineering board the inclusion of food was a natural progression, especially in a time of skills shortage where synergies exist between food and other manufacturing sectors so making the talent pool larger. 

Some other boards in food restrict their attentions to the food specific technical roles - however Jobmax aims to provide a "one stop shop" for recruiters and companies - whatever a manufacturer needs - from the shop floor to the board room taking in technical, operations, sales and account management, supply and logistics, brand and marketing - all available form the one platform.  With perhaps the notable exception of the science and new product development specialists there is a great deal that can be shared across the sectors.  Lean and Continuous improvement  knowledge and experience from automotive, clean room and hygiene process from pharmaceutical, brand specialists from any FMCG may be just what you are looking for as a food manufacturer.  Support staff, finance, accounts, IT, supply chain specialists with the right skills may be outside food currently but have transferrable experience and expertise that will add value to a food company looking to attract the best talent.

So take another look at Jobmax - standard job posting is still free - and remember this is a site that will get better with use.  Want better response - post more jobs. More jobs means more traffic, more traffic means more applicants - and you only need one to fill that job!.

Jobmax  is teamed with Idibu, Jobmate and Logic Melon to make your job posting easier.
