EmploymentCrossing Launches Job Site for Purchasing Professionals with About 3,000 Active Jobs
May 30, 2008
EmploymentCrossing, one of the world’s largest job boards, has recently launched an exclusive job board for purchasing professionals called PurchasingCrossing. The site seeks to track down every single active, available purchasing job opening and list them in its database. Over 500 trained researchers collect purchasing job openings from various job boards, including postings from Fortune 500 companies.
Pasadena, CA — Searching for a purchasing job typically requires going to multiple websites to find purchasing job openings: employer websites, association websites, and various job boards. Fortunately for job seekers, a new EmploymentCrossing website, PurchasingCrossing (www.purchasingcrossing.com), seeks to consolidate every purchasing job opening from all of the aforementioned sources.
Many companies hire purchasing managers and agents to find the best merchandise available at the lowest possible cost. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), nearly 43% of purchasing personnel are in trade and manufacturing organizations, and about 11% work in retail trade. The BLS also predicts that the demand for the purchasing professionals will remain consistent between 2006 and 2016. PurchasingCrossing’s mission is to provide suitable purchasing job openings to aspirants 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 PurchasingCrossing. ''Job openings that are not widely known or publicized are the easiest jobs to get.''
Moreover, due to the current recession, the purchasing power of even large firms and companies has slumped and shows no signs of a quick revival. However, PurchasingCrossing, which launched with around 3,000 currently active jobs, offers to sort out the opportunities that purchasing professionals may not find out about otherwise. Unlike other job boards, the site focuses solely on purchasing jobs, and it doesn’t charge employers to post jobs.
According to Barnes, the most popular searches on the site have been:

Purchasing director jobs

''There are an astonishing number of purchasing job openings out there. We want to find them all,'' Barnes adds.
PurchasingCrossing charges $29.95 a month to view its job-opening research. As part of the site’s launch special, however, PurchasingCrossing is offering a free, seven-day trial to allow job seekers to familiarize themselves with the service.
