GOLFSURFIN.COM CATCHES JOB-LISTING WAVE New free online service
seeks to match applicants with employment opportunities
By Kyla Wilson Crittenden Golf Writer
A new golf job listing site, www.GolfSurfin.com, went online
in November.
The site includes listings from major golf and equipment and
apparel manufacturers and golf companies. It currently has
130 listings and receives 3,000 to 4,000 hits a day from users
posting resumes or looking for golf industry jobs, according
to Michael Schlesinger, chief executive officer of GolfSurfin.com.
"The response we have gotten has been tremendous," he said.
Schlesinger started the online service with his wife Dawn,
who is president of GolfSurfin.com, after they could find
no free sites for those looking for jobs in the golf industry.
Schlesinger said that making the site free makes it more cost-effective
for employers to post jobs.
"It's much less than advertising for newspapers or on general
boards like Monster.com or Hotjobs.com," Schlesinger said.
Although the company is joining an expanding list of golf
industry job sites, Schlesinger said he is not concerned.
Similar services are offered by usgolfjobs.com, Golf-Industry.com
and GolfManagmentNetwork.com. Associations such as the National
Golf Foundation, the Club Managers Association of America
and the PGA of America also have employment listings.
Schlesinger said that, unlike the associations, GolfSurfin.com
has free listings of a variety of positions. In addition,
association job listings often are exclusive to members.
"We have more job (listings) for free, which guarantees more
traffic than other sites," Schlesinger said. "They're (association
sites) geared toward a limited market."
Employers can log onto the site, take a few minutes to register
and post a job for one month for $80.
Schlesinger said that within a year he intends to expand GolfSurfin.com
to Canada, Europe and Asia.
