American Rental Association launches job board

The American Rental Association (ARA) has debuted a new job board aimed at increasing awareness of the equipment and event rental industry careers and providing a way for employers and qualified candidates to connect.

ARA rental store members and employers can access the new ARA Job Board through their existing account on ARArental.org. 

Job seekers can find a link on ARArentalworks.com, a microsite designed for those looking to learn more about rental industry careers.

“The ARA Job Board isn’t just a site for posting. It is a turnkey resource for employers and

prospective employees,” said Dan Sharp, ARA senior marketing manager. “The goal is for the job board to be the hub for rental workforce development in terms of career support, coaching, resume development, and job descriptions for both equipment and event rental operations.”

Features on the board show the breadth of capabilities include personalized job matching that recommends positions based on search history, built-in candidate screening for improved candidate selection and options for priority job postings.

An aspect that members will especially appreciate is the job board’s ability to pull job postings from the member websites. There’s no need to upload job postings to multiple sites when the ARA Job Board fetches and uploads new jobs each night. Similarly, if a posting is removed from the member website, it will be removed from the ARA Job Board.

The ARA is offering 5 free 90-day postings to all ARA rental store members (using promo code ARA-5Free). The offer allows members to test the multi-faceted job board without any type of commitment. 

The ARA Job Board is also free to any job applicants.

Based in Moline, Ill, the American Rental Association's membership includes more than 11,000 rental businesses and more than 1,000 manufacturers and suppliers.
