Jobs Board Is Filling Up Nicely

The GGF and FENSA are helping with the shortfall in skilled labour for the fenestration industry, as their combined jobs board is helping to match vacancies to suitable candidates. 

The Glass & Glazing Federation and FENSA officially launched the jobs board in February and just a few months on have reported that the jobs board is being populated. Chris Beedel, head of advocacy & stakeholder relations at the GGF says: “In the relatively short time the jobs board has been live, it has seen 54 jobs posted and 40 applicants looking for work and we are confident that these numbers will continue to grow.

“We created the jobs board because our members told us they were struggling to fill vacancies and yet we knew there were also plenty of people looking for work. The board that sits on both the GGF and FENSA websites holds current job vacancies as well as profiles of candidates that are looking for work.”

 

Matchmaker

Beedel continues: “The system actively matches job seekers with positions that are suited to their skillset and requirements. Of course, the more companies and people that use the jobs board, the more useful it will become as a resource.

“GGF members can post jobs on the board for free. Non-members can use the facility for a fee.  Meanwhile, individuals looking for work are notified when new jobs matching their criteria are posted or when new relevant training courses are launched.”
