One company is stepping up to advise consumers about hiring for general labor jobs in Atlanta.

Atlanta Roof Leak Repair believes that too much attention is paid to roof repair in Atlanta and not enough to the mold-causing water damage in attics. While roofs receive full repair attention, attics go on unattended for the most part. Atlanta Roof Leak Repair describes.

Spring is practically here, barbeques and beaches, bikini tops to roof tops. Spring also brings storms and damage resulting from storm. Roofs protect homes and business as relentless royal guards. However, they are not without a partner. Attics have long been the neglected member of the family, never seen nor heard nor admired for outer beauty. Attics are just there doing what they always do - holding old, forgotten items from childhood. Attics can oftentimes be as useful as a rubbage heap to some. However attics play a significant part to the well-being of a home or business. Attics support the roof day in and day out. Attics may hold insulation and important parts of heating and air conditioning systems. Attics even affect the very indoor air breathed!

What’s more, pay attention to attics and roofs; they are symbiotic in function. Most property owners rarely give much thought to roofs and attics together unless a problem arises. Unfortunately, storm damage affects more than the roof, but the attic as well. Late discovery to roof damage typically leads to more costly repair. The good news is that roof problems can often be spotted before expensive repairs are incurred. If money isn’t enough of a reason to take care of roofs, perhaps health is. Unnoticed or uncorrected roof leaks can lead to mold (including the dangerous black mold), cave-ins, or electrocution! (more…)

A recruiter is achieving success by waxing poetic about Atlanta jobs.

“Headhunter” Hiring Secrets: The Rules of the Hiring Game Have Changed . . . Forever!, by professional “headhunter” and author Skip Freeman, has just achieved “best seller” status in the job hunting books category on Amazon.com, the World’s largest book retailer, boasting 8 million titles.

“Headhunter” Hiring Secrets has been as high as number two in the job hunting books category and has consistently remained in the Top Five. Fewer than one-half of one percent of books featured and sold on Amazon.com ever achieve this status.

The job hunting book was published in late January 2010 and has remained in the top 10% of book sales on Amazon ever since then.

“We are extremely pleased with the reception our book has received,” said Freeman. “We believed from the start that we had something of significant value to offer job seekers in this, the worst job market since the Great Depression. And I am glad to learn that job seekers apparently feel the same way.”

Freeman added that the idea for writing and publishing the book came about because he realized how few job seekers he could actually help, personally, through his Atlanta, GA, executive recruiting firm, Hire to Win.

“I, like virtually every other recruiter, work in a very defined market niche,” he said. “My niche happens to be the engineering and chemical industries, primarily. Any job seeker outside my niche I simply cannot help find a new job. But, with the publication of ‘Headhunter’ Hiring Secrets, I have thus far been able to help thousands, and hope I can end up helping millions, by sharing my experience and expertise about the state of the current job market and how to effectively compete in it.”

CareOne has announced they hired a slew of people for various telecommuting jobs in Atlanta, which allows the people to work from home.

At a time when many other companies remain slow to hire due to concerns about the economy, CareOne Services Inc. has hired nearly 350 full-time workers this year alone. The workers filled both vacancies left through normal employee turnover, but also new positions within the company. CareOne now has nearly 800 employees.

A key part of the hiring strategy centered on selecting the very best talent, regardless of geographic location. As such, CareOne processed and reviewed more than 10,000 detailed job applications from across the United States.

While some of these employees have come from the area around CareOne’s headquarters in Columbia, Md., thanks to its use of technology, about 300 of these new hires work from home and connect remotely to CareOne’s computer network. Some of the largest hiring efforts have been in Charlotte, Atlanta, Tampa, San Diego and Ontario, Calif. (more…)

Two companies are joining forces to tackle labor jobs in Atlanta.

Trademark Roofing, a team of roofing contractors that also offers general handyman services in Atlanta, GA, recently joined forces with Prospect Genius in an effort to help a broader range of area homeowners. A notable online advertising company, Prospect Genius will guide Trademark Roofing in their quest to connect with a larger number of Atlanta-area residents searching for roofers, window contractors, or insulation contractors.

The owner of Trademark Roofing, Eric Austin, said that he decided to hire Prospect Genius as part of his company’s ongoing drive to increase visibility and accessibility to local customers in need of handyman services or roofing contractors. “We ultimately chose the PG program because we knew that we needed to become more available to potential clients on the Internet,” Austin said. Prospect Genius leverages search engine optimization (SEO) strategies to streamline the Internet search process for Atlanta homeowners seeking window contractors, insulation contractors, or other handyman services. Now, when prospective customers use Google, Yahoo!, Bing, or any other prominent search engine to find local roofers, the professional services of Trademark Roofing are easier to locate.
