EmploymentCrossing Launches Exclusive Procurement Job Site, ProcurementCrossing

EmploymentCrossing, one of the world’s largest job-board operators, has announced the launch of ProcurementCrossing. As part of the EmploymentCrossing job-site franchise, ProcurementCrossing seeks to list every procurement job in the United States in one convenient location. Using proprietary technology, ProcurementCrossing monitors the procurement job postings on other job websites and other sources and displays every single procurement job it can find. ProcurementCrossing’s goal is nothing less than to show job seekers every procurement job available.

Pasadena, CA — The newly launched website ProcurementCrossing (www.procurementcrossing.com) will list all kinds of procurement jobs as well as provide details on career advancement opportunities and employment information for procurement professionals in nearly all fields. With more than 1,500 jobs currently posted, ProcurementCrossing is already one of the largest job boards in the world for those aspiring to careers in procurement and purchasing, with a range of positions including jobs for procurement managers, procurement clerks, strategic sourcing specialists, commodity managers, senior buyers, and sales and supply coordinators.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that employment trends for procurement professionals will not change significantly over the 2006-2016 decade. Nonetheless, the bureau states that high school graduates with fair computer skills can do well in procurement, as “e-procurement” is the industry’s new buzzword. The bureau also predicts that job openings will arise when older procurement workers change jobs and move into other sectors. However, it is a proven fact that it is extremely difficult to find a job in this field.

“In this market it is extremely hard to get a job with a recruiter, and recruiters typically work with very few companies,” says Harrison Barnes, founder and CEO of ProcurementCrossing. “Job openings that are not widely known or publicized are the easiest jobs to get.”

ProcurementCrossing was launched to help procurement professionals sort out the opportunities that they might not find out about otherwise. Unlike other job boards, the site focuses solely on procurement jobs, and it doesn’t charge employers to post jobs.

In what is perhaps a reflection of the current procurement job market, the most popular searches on the website have been:

• procurement jobs
• jobs in procurement
• procurement job
• procurement job description
• procurement specialist job description
• organ procurement jobs
• procurement manager job description
• procurement job descriptions
• procurement officer job description
• procurement analyst job description
• procurement manager jobs
• purchasing procurement jobs
• Denver procurement jobs
• IT procurement jobs
• purchasing jobs
• procurement specialist jobs

“ProcurementCrossing is a research company that works for job seekers,” Barnes says. “We seek to connect you to employers.”

Barnes emphasizes that ProcurementCrossing is committed to finding new sources of jobs daily.

“There is an astonishing number of procurement job openings out there. We want to find them all,” he says.

ProcurementCrossing charges $29.95 a month to view its job-opening research. As part of the site’s launch special, however, ProcurementCrossing is offering a free, seven-day trial to allow job seekers to familiarize themselves with the service.
