job.travel
Established in 2007, job.travel is the travel and hospitality industry’s premium job site. Job.travel focuses solely on matching qualified job seekers with employers in the travel and hospitality industry, both efficiently and cost effectively.
As an entrepreneur and lifelong supporter of the travel industry, Michael S. Egan created and developed job.travel to address the lack of a premium, industry specific employment website for the global travel industry. Knowing how little time business owners and managers have to read e-mail, find qualified employees, and run their businesses, Egan believed it was time to fill this niche.
With the ability to quickly search candidates and job opportunities from handheld, mobile devices or desktop computers, job.travel is designed to be easy to use and simple for even the non-tech savvy individual. As an added convenience, job.travel offers mobile text and e-mail alerts when candidates and jobs match. These alerts provide access to “snapshots” to get a quick view of both candidates and job opportunities.
Job.travel is a complimentary site for job seekers and is very cost effective for employers. The cost an annual job.travel subscription is, on average, below the cost of one job posting on other job sites.
