BerkshireJobs.com positioned to aid employers, job-seekers

These enhancements come as a result of the recent change in the site’s management. Originally launched in 1999, BerkshireJobs.com recently came under the management of Boxcar Media through an agreement with the Berkshire Council for Growth.

“We’re extremely pleased to join with Boxcar Media in the announcement of the re-launch of BerkshireJobs.com,” says Jeff Cook, Co-Chair of the Berkshire Council for Growth. “Boxcar Media’s innovative approach to new media, as well as its dedication to the growth of the Berkshire region, are the reasons the Executive Committee of the Berkshire Council for Growth and the Human Resources Association selected Boxcar Media to take over the operation of the site. The results are just what we expected: Boxcar Media has positioned the site as the most comprehensive, effective, and innovative employment resource in the area.”

Since its initial launch by the Berkshire Council for Growth, Berkshirejobs.com has connected Berkshire County’s most enterprising companies with talented, motivated job-seekers. The site features a searchable resume database, job postings in a variety of categories, relocation information, employment resources, and a tiered participation structure that meets the need of every budget.

Now under the management of Boxcar Media, the site is even more comprehensive and user-friendly. With more in-depth content, an increased focus on human resources, and an enhanced attention to marketing and promotion, Boxcar Media has improved the overall reach, participation, and effectiveness of BerkshireJobs.com.

“We’re thrilled to be a part of this exciting project,” remarks Ozzie Alvarez, Boxcar Media’s founder and CEO. “BerkshireJobs.com not only assists employers and job seekers with recruitment, hiring, and relocation, it also serves as a critical part of the viability and growth of the region as a whole.”

“Our management of this site follows Boxcar Media’s longstanding commitment to the Berkshire County community,” he adds.

Berkshirejobs.com lists opportunities in the area of hospitality, banking, insurance, health care, education, technology, manufacturing, law, human resources, engineering, marketing, sales, arts/entertainment, research, design, human services, clerical, and more. The site is free for job-seekers, and offers a tiered participation structure for employers. Employers who sign up with Berkshirejobs.com prior to September 1st will receive a 15% discount on their account. Current members who renew their contracts by the same date will receive a 30% discount.

In addition to Berkshirejobs.com, Boxcar Media also serves as the managing company to the iBerkshires.com network of community websites. Boxcar Media also develops individual web sites, multimedia presentations, and e-commerce solutions for area clients.

The Berkshire Council for Growth is an integrated task force of private and public interests chartered to actively promote all aspects of economic development in Berkshire County.
