Let’s face it—finding the right people in the offsite construction industry isn’t getting easier. Whether you’re searching for a seasoned truss designer, a sharp estimator, or a dependable production manager, the usual massive job boards don’t cut it. That’s why TheJobLine.com has built Hiring-Zone.com: a job board made specifically for companies in the structural building components manufacturing industry.
Hiring-Zone actually started four years ago as a simple proof-of-concept. But because of its success—and the industry's clear need for an affordable, focused hiring platform—I went all in. The result? A newly rebuilt site that includes many of the best features of large-scale job boards, but tailored to our industry.
Employers can now create accounts, post openings, and communicate directly with candidates—either through the app or via email. User-friendly on your phone, tablet, or desktop, it’s designed to minimize time and maximize results. There are no recruiting fees. No clutter. Just focused exposure to the exact professionals you need: truss designers, wall panel designers, estimators, sales reps, operational leaders, and more.
Posting an ad costs as little as $245 a month, and additional discounts are available. You’ll also find advanced features like Truss Designer Testing to help you screen applicants before an interview.
And there’s more than just job posting. Hiring-Zone includes a Contractor Registry—a growing directory of independent contractors, freelancers, and remote designers available for project-based work. Employers can browse registered professionals, review credentials, and reach out directly for contract or short-term help. It's a powerful tool for companies that need to scale up quickly or fill gaps without a full-time hire. Stay tuned—as our contractor registry is just getting started.
I know what you’re thinking—but Hiring-Zone actually complements TheJobLine.com, which has been recruiting and placing industry professionals for over 30 years. While JobLine will remain “your recruiter down the hall,” Hiring-Zone is self-serve, economical, and always open. And no, JobLine does not see who applies to your positions. That’s our guarantee—and for those who’ve known me for years, that’s my personal promise.
The industry may be shifting away from traditional recruiting, but there’s still a place for both. Hiring-Zone gives professionals and employers a new way to connect—simple, focused, and built for us.
Give me a shout if you want to discuss a discount. Your first posting can be as much as 100% off through July.
