WorkCabin.ca Encourages Organizations, Companies to go Green When Posting Jobs

April 20, 2009 - WorkCabin.ca is a Canadian environmental job site entering its second full year of operation with much optimism about employment opportunities in the environmental sector.

The site, which has rapidly become a favorite among many organizations and
companies seeking to use a truly green service to reach qualified job
seekers, has seen a significant increase in job postings through late winter and early spring. Environmental education, as well as wildlife and conservation jobs are particularly strong at WorkCabin.ca.

Despite the economic downturn, WorkCabin.ca president Gregg McLachlan predicts the next major wave of environmental hiring will be in the renewable energy division.

"While some sectors of the renewable energy sector may not be seeing much
hiring at the moment, there is definite evidence that this will change for
the better very soon," said McLachlan. "The economic downturn is not slowing the number of development applications for solar and wind power that continue to be filed in municipalities on a steady basis across Canada. Renewable energy developers are very much active laying the groundwork for new projects that will create new jobs in the very near future."

WorkCabin.ca is the only Canadian environmental jobs site bullfrogpowered with 100% green electricity. Bullfrog Power(TM) is Canada's leading and respected 100 per cent green electricity retailer that uses only sources that have achieved the federal government's EcoLogo certification. Because of WorkCabin.ca's investment in green renewable energy, in one year alone WorkCabin.ca's website, servers and office will offset their emissions footprint by an estimated 4.79 tons of CO2 (the primary gas that causes climate change). It's efforts like this that resulted in WorkCabin.ca being recognized in the Suzuki Foundation's new guide, Doing Business in a New Climate.

In 2009, WorkCabin.ca is continuing to grow its client base with organizations and companies who are seeking to match their environmental focus with a job posting service that is genuinely green.

"WorkCabin.ca is a different kind of environmental jobs site," said McLachlan. "It's the kind of environmental jobs site that takes real action to reflect the type of business we do in order to have a genuine connection with the organizations and companies who use our service. The companies and organizations that use WorkCabin.ca are sending a clear message."

WorkCabin.ca continues to focus its business model on affordable, industry-leading job posting rates that assist organizations and companies attract qualified talent, while at the same time, helping to save budgets for actually funding environmental work.

WorkCabin.ca is also Canada's only environmental jobs site belonging to 1% For The Planet, an internationally respected environmental philanthropic organization whereby members give back a portion of their profits to environmental organizations.

The company is also looking at potential expansion opportunities to new markets in the future.
