the green job search engine

Welcome to the 'Google for green jobs'.

The green job market is about to explode according to many recent studies. Now there is a place to efficiently and quickly for those opportunities. Green Job Spider.

With more than 50 green job boards currently scattered across the web, job seekers are having a hard time finding and applying to this fast growing job market. Green Job Spider will enable them to search for these jobs using one interface. The site will also help green candidates learn about the types of green jobs and where they are through its blog and other resources.

Our job search engine is one of the first of its kind to focus exclusively on a specific niche. Most of the current job search sites focus on all types of jobs but Green Job Spider will offer a more targeted experience for those who want a green job. Its crawler will search for jobs from solar to wind to biofuels. Job listings will be indexed nightly and all sources of green jobs will be hand picked to ensure quality.

“The time is right for a service of this kind” says Chris Russell, the site’s founder. “Green jobs are growing and the current method of finding them is too fragmented”. Russell is a ten year veteran of the online job search business. Green Job Spider is a privately held company owned by AllCountyJobs.com LLC of Trumbull, CT.

Green Job Spider will also accept job feeds from green employers and recruiting firms. Listings can be indexed through an XML feed, RSS or spidered via web page. Pricing will consist of a low monthly subscription fee with unlimited clicks.

Employers with green jobs can now post their openings on the web's only free green job board, GreenJobsFree.com. The site, available at http://www.greenjobsfree.com/ is powered by JobThread and features categories for wind, solar, biofuel and other green job functions.

"Green jobs want to be free" says founder Chris Michaels. "I wanted to create a site that helps build the green economy and the best way to do that is to make it free for both job seeker and employer. I invite solar companies, wind turbine firms and all green industry businesses to use it as much as they want." There is no limit to the amount of green jobs they can post. The site makes money of banner and other advertising.

The green job market heating up, thanks to new grants from the Department of Energy which is awarding seed money to many new types of green businesses including battery makers, electric car companies and solar panel manufacturers.

The report finds that the emerging clean energy economy is creating well-paying jobs in every state for people of all skill levels and educational backgrounds. Included in Pew’s definition are jobs as diverse as engineers, plumbers, administrative assistants, construction workers, machine setters, marketing consultants, teachers and many others, with annual incomes ranging from $21,000 to $111,000.
