Kimmel & Associates Launches New Website

June 17th, 2005 -- Asheville, NC - Kimmel & Associates Executive Search, the leader in construction executive search nationwide, announced today the launch of its new website. The site now features a comprehensive overview of the prestigious firm, including insights into their mission and values and a history detailing the company’s 25 years in business.

And, naturally, client companies and talented professionals can continue to use kimmel.com as a place to watch trends in construction, learn about career opportunities, and monitor the dynamic world of construction.

Company President Joe W. Kimmel ordered the undertaking so that the website would offer greater service to the thousands of professionals who visit the site. “The industries we serve have grown in size, speed, and complexity,” adds Joe Kimmel. “We’re growing, too, and the new website reflects the energy, the new ideas, and the opportunities that are being generated here at Kimmel and throughout the industries we work in.”

New online tools will allow candidates to create a personal career account, providing Kimmel & Associates’ consultants with real-time access to registered candidates. Registered candidates will be able to access their account and update contact and resume information and apply directly for jobs featured on the website.

All visitors can read a company history and see why 25 years of dedication to service have made Kimmel the leading consulting search firm in the nation in its areas of concentration. They can read feature articles that have appeared in the Engineering News Record, such as “Gray Power Can Give You an Edge”, and subscribe to Kimmel & Associates’ own Construction Industry Newsletter featuring similar articles, related polls, and award-winning construction cartoons which also appear monthly in the Engineering News Record.

Further, a career resources center has been created which includes full-text articles written by seasoned consultants at Kimmel & Associates. Articles discuss questions important both to candidates, such as “Are You Ready for a Strategic Career Move?” and to client companies, including advice on “Keeping What’s Yours: Retaining Your Employees.”

The career center also features a Salary Center in a co-branding relationship with salary.com, the leading online provider of salary and relocation information. The salary center provides a powerful tool for those seeking to research a job change and understand compensation ranges within their prospective industry and location.

An online information request form has been added to the employer resource center, providing employers with the ability to contact Kimmel & Associates and request the services of an executive recruiter.

Visitors can also read news concerning the Kimmel’s Scholarship for Students in Construction, a $1,000.00 scholarship that Kimmel endows and awards to students nationwide twice a year to encourage their entrance into the construction field. Students may now apply directly for the scholarship through a secure online application.

Visitors to the site will find the aesthetics to be inviting and sophisticated, featuring an art deco design with a “search light” theme metaphorically representing the field of executive search. Colorful industrial illustrations are used throughout the site to accentuate the industries served by Kimmel & Associates: Construction, Transportation and Supply Chain, and the Waste Industry.
