In terms of annual income, these positions would be those generally paying up to $45,000 a year. Specifically, these are positions such as foreman, superintendents, customer service/sales representatives, assistant managers, technicians, sales associates, etc.

 How does posting a job on GreenMatchMaker.com® differ from my current practice of running a help-wanted newspaper advertisement?
That's easy. GreenMatchMaker.com® gives you a lot more flexibility and control over your ad, how you choose to run it as well as how you handle job seeker responses. Consider the unique features we offer you:
  • You get your own "Home Page" on which you post your ad and receive replies from job seekers. You also get a confidential password which gives you access to this page anytime you wish.
  • You may edit the content of your ad at your discretion. This gives you maximum flexibility to change the wording of your ad and add or delete important company information as you see fit, while the ad is running, at no additional charge.
  • Job seekers who are interested in your position(s) fill out a brief, confidential "Personal Profile" which is forwarded electronically to you. This way you know something about the person prior to the interview.
  • You deal directly with the interested job seeker at a time that is convenient to both of you.

  • As your ad nears its expiration date, you will be notified electronically giving you an opportunity to either renew the ad or post a new one.
