Hunter Preferred Contractor Program and RainBird Rewards Program have agreed to partner with Earthwormjobs.com. Each of these programs respectively offers the irrigation and landscape contractor a purchase rewards program for using their components. Those contractors are then able to redeem their points for use on just about anything they want such as trips, educational opportunities, home electronics, power tools, and now, all the services offered by Earthwormjobs.com.
Founder of Earthwormjobs.com, Jeremy Hunt, calls this, “A win-win for those that are enrolled in either manufacturer program. One of the largest expenses a green/golf industry company faces is advertising for qualified employees. Some newspapers charge as much as $2,000.00 to $3,000.00 dollars for a one-week ad. Now contractors will be able to use rewards points for this type of advertising without taking dollars out of that company’s pocket. With the breakdown of the H-2B visa program many companies are scampering to find people to fill both labor and management positions to help with the upcoming season’s work load. Without qualified employees many large companies stand to see a decline in gross sales for the year simply because they will not be able to keep up with the work load and it may even force them to turn down certain projects do to their reduced labor force.”
This partnership between two of the green/golf industry leading manufacturer and Earthwormjobs.com will help eliminate some of the out-of-pocket expense and also help fill some of the labor voids within their organizations.
