Overview
 
MEP Jobs is the leading online job board and resume bank for professionals in the mechanical, electrical and plumbing industries. We focus exclusively on the specialty trade contractor segment, which constitutes approximately 64% of all construction jobs. Our customers include contractors, manufacturers, wholesalers, facility managers, service organizations, and executive search firms within these industries, and our solutions provide a steady stream of high quality tradesmen, engineers and management personnel for our growth-minded clients.

We advise our clients on human capital -- how essential it is to their long-term health and competitive positioning, and how they can proactively plan for the looming shortfall in high value construction jobs. Our revenue is recognized through online job advertisements and related candidate sourcing services. Our customers benefit from our highly focused jobseeker acquisition campaigns blending volume with quality, thus providing a robust supply of qualified talent.

MEP Jobs' customer acquisition strategy emphasizes direct sales via an outbound call center. Our seeker acquisition emphasizes targeted online advertising, branding, trade school affiliations, and email and direct mail campaigns. Looking into 2009 and beyond, our strategic initiatives include increasing the size and quality of our jobseeker traffic, growing our sales organization and improving our consultative selling skills, and improving our customer experience through product innovation and real time customer care.

Several trends make this an extremely attractive market opportunity:
  1. Approximately 95% of all career-minded people now use the Internet as an essential career management tool.
  2. Less than 10% of real job openings are actually posted due to the cost-prohibitive nature of traditional classified print media.
  3. Between 25 and 30% of the current work pool, estimated at 1.5 million jobs, are baby boomers and will retire over the next decade.
  4. The US Department Labor anticipates 1 million new jobs will be created by the construction industry over the next 10 years. Construction jobs cannot move overseas.
  5. MEP Jobs has been operating for over 10 years. We are the current MEP market leader in terms of traffic (circulation), and have developed the platform and competencies necessary to capture on this high growth opportunity.
