Hcareers And AH&LA launch US lodging-specific career site

New online job resource provides thousands of job listings and qualified resume tracking

Hcareers.com, the biggest job board for the North American hospitality industry, has partnered with the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AH&LA) to develop the countryís largest lodging-specific career database.

AH&LA Career Center can be found online at www.ahla.com/careers. The job engine provides association members with further access to qualified lodging industry job seekers at a low cost. Employers who post job openings on the AH&LA Career Center can also receive the same listing on Hcareers.comís job site, which reaches over three million hospitality job seekers each month. AH&LA members receive a 20% discount on Hcareers.comís career resource services.

Hotel and lodging job seekers can search career openings across the US or sort listings by available position quickly and easily. Candidates are also able to post resumes free of charge.

The largest and premier lodging association in the US with some 11,000 members, AH&LA is focused on providing relevant and useful resources to its members, said Joseph McInerney, CHA, president and CEO of the American Hotel & Lodging Association. Our new AH&LA Career Center aims to help employers find highly trained industry professionals, while allowing job seekers to search from a pool of targeted positions. Well-known throughout the industry, Hcareers was by far the most qualified Internet job site to help build the largest lodging database to date.

Our partnership with AH&LA confirms Hcareersí dominant position in the hospitality-specific job site market, said David Curry, president and CEO of Hcareers.com. Weíve served as a career outlet to the lodging industry for over five years, now reaching more employers and job seekers than any national newspaper. By teaming with AH&LA to run the Career Center, weíll continue to supply the largest amount of candidates to the North American hospitality industry.

AH&LA Career Center will be demonstrated during the associationís Fall Conference on November 7-10, 2003 at the Jacob K. Javits Conference Center in New York.
