Pricelock, a platform for energy professionals to transact and connect, announced that Pricelock Connect is expanding its platform to include a jobs site for energy and commodity professionals. The new offering integrates jobs with the networking and marketing already utilized on a daily basis by energy professionals to buy and sell all forms of energy.
Energy is one of the few industries struggling to find job talent, the company said, noting that some predictions show over one million new jobs being created by 2020 due to 12% growth in energy demand predicted by 2040, new energy technologies, an aging job population and expected job turn-over. “In this competitive job market employers need to have a competitive advantage to identify and connect with top energy talent,” said Naveen Agarwal, CEO of Pricelock. “We are able to offer what no other job site has; 100% focus on energy, an engaged user-base of energy professionals, and technology to support social media and online advertising. In addition, we offer energy job seekers a great experience and access to the most energy jobs in one place.”
At its launch, Pricelock’s jobs platform will include:
• Energy focus – allowing both employers and job seekers to cut through the clutter and be more efficient
• Over 35,000 jobs from more than 650 companies
• Energy people are on Pricelock for day-to-day buying and selling of energy products and services
• Proactive communication to Pricelock Connect’s network of engaged energy professionals via email and website promotion
• Top level online visibility via internet search and display advertising
• Ability to network with other energy professionals to help with job search
Pricelock Connect is free and open to all energy and commodity professionals. To join, visit www.pricelock.com/connect.
