What if there was a better job out there for you?

The new job board I've created for the industry is officially live today (Sunday the 21st of August, 2022).

I believe this job board will reduce the impacts of the staff shortage crisis in green industries around the world.

Check it out at HortPeople.com.

Do you think the global green industry needs a job board of its own? I do.

That's why I created HortPeople.com, the new job board that launches next weekend. In this episode, my mentor Karen Smith interviews me about why I started it, why it matters for our industry, and why anybody should even care.

You'll learn about the features, the 42 job categories (so far), including a "New To The Industry" section where employers can post jobs relevant to people yet to gain experience. You can also chuck your resume up there, so employers come to you.

Karen grills me pretty hard on the safety aspects, so if you're concerned about that, give this episode a listen.
