DALLAS, August 17, 2012 – The National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) announces its newest offering to association members – a web-based career center that connects job seekers with prospective employers in the athletic training industry. The new career website, built by JobTarget, which powers more than 1,100 job websites and career centers for organizations that serve niche audiences, can be found at jobs.nata.org. Access is available to the NATA membership.
“Our association promotes athletic training industry knowledge, networking and excellence,” says NATA President Jim Thornton, MA, ATC, CES. “Launching an online career center for professionals in our field – and in their geographic region – is a natural extension of that mission.”
- NATA’s employment marketplace, like other JobTarget-powered career centers, distinguishes itself from generalist job boards in a number of ways. These include:
- a highly targeted focus on employment opportunities in a certain sector, location or demographic;
- anonymous resume posting and job application – enabling job candidates to stay connected to the employment market while maintaining full control over their confidential information;
- an advanced Job Alert system that notifies candidates of new opportunities matching their own pre-selected criteria;
- access to industry-specific jobs – and top-quality candidates – often not seen on the mass job boards.
“Niche job boards, like the one we’ve designed for NATA, are an ideal way to recruit top candidates,” says JobTarget Chief Executive Officer Andrew Banever. “Our customized career centers also attract new members – both individuals and businesses – to associations such as NATA. That helps drive participation in conferences, professional development workshops, award programs and other exclusive benefits.”
