LobbyingJobs.com's Job Board gives hiring organizations the ability to "pay-to-post" job opening advertisements and receive/manage incoming applications submitted by lobbying job seekers. In addition, recruiters and employers can subscribe to a "Resume Browsing" service that, for a specified time period, lets them search through the entire database of resumes submitted by prospective lobbying employees. Job Seekers using the site are able to post their resumes online without charge, search posted job openings, activate job-posting email alerts and apply directly to open positions. The site concentrates on all members participating in the lobbying field including Lobbyists, Advocacy and Government Relations professionals as well as Lobbying Firm Support staff.
Despite recent federal lobbying reform and a slowing economy, corporations, unions and other interests spent a record-setting $2.79 billion in 2007 on lobbying Washington officials. Coupled with robust state-level lobbying efforts performed in all 50 states, it is clear that the business of lobbying still has influence.
From an employment standpoint, the lobbying industry is extremely fluid as frequent changes of government officials requires lobbying firms, corporations and special interest organizations to vary their lobbying personnel in order to maintain effective and appropriate influence for their cause.
Founder of LobbyingJobs.com John Foreman points out that "The use of online job boards by both employers and job seekers continues to grow rapidly. It is truly a highly efficient way to connect both ends of the hiring equation. However, as sites like Monster.com and CareerBuilder have successfully grown as all-purpose job boards, they are unable to focus on the special needs of individual industries. This often leads to some lost efficiencies and an experience that is not as fruitful as it could be. Being niched in this dynamic profession, we are able to offer tools, services and informational content geared specifically to members of the lobbying industry." Foreman states, "We are excited to serve this highly professional community and are focused on continuing to develop a dedicated source for online career assistance that will benefit all participants in the field of lobbying."
