ARCJobs

Project Overview

ARCJobs is a comprehensive job search platform specifically designed for architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals in the United States. The platform aggregates job listings from top architecture firms nationwide, providing a streamlined way for architects and designers to find their next career opportunity.

The Challenge

Architecture professionals often struggle to find relevant job opportunities in their field, with existing job platforms being too general or lacking industry-specific features. Traditional job boards don't effectively showcase architectural portfolios or properly filter for specific architectural specialties. Additionally, firms face challenges in finding qualified candidates who match their specific project needs and company culture. The architecture job search process needs a dedicated platform that understands the unique requirements of the AEC industry.

The Solution

ARCJobs was developed as a specialized job search platform with features tailored to the architecture industry: 1. Specialized Search: Advanced filtering options for architectural roles, specialties, and software proficiencies. 2. Location-based Search: Interactive map interface for geographic job searching. 3. Firm Profiles: Detailed company profiles featuring project portfolios and company culture. 4. Salary Transparency: Clear salary ranges and compensation information. 5. Portfolio Integration: Built-in portfolio viewing capabilities for streamlined application review. 6. Job Alert System: Customizable notifications for relevant job postings. 7. Application Tracking: Dashboard for managing job applications and interview schedules. 8. Mobile Responsiveness: Accessible across all devices for on-the-go job searching. By focusing specifically on the architecture industry, ARCJobs creates a more efficient and effective job search experience for both candidates and employers.

Results

ARCJobs has quickly become a go-to platform for architecture job seekers and firms. Since launch, the platform has facilitated over 200 successful job placements, with a 40% reduction in average time-to-hire compared to traditional job boards. The platform maintains an active user base of 3,000 architecture professionals and partnerships with 300+ architecture firms nationwide. User surveys indicate a 92% satisfaction rate with the job search experience, and participating firms report a 45% improvement in candidate quality compared to general job boards. The platform's success has led to a 85% retention rate among subscribing firms and a growing community of architecture professionals.
