Meanwhile, in Canada …

The Home Depot launches jobseeker’s marketplace

T According to a survey conducted by The Home Depot (THD) in partnership with Morning Consult, 50% of trades professionals say that determining whether an applicant is qualified for a job is an obstacle to hiring. That, in part, inspired THD to launch PathtoPro.com. Intended to connect skilled tradespeople to hiring trades professionals in the construction and home improvement industries, the site allows jobseekers to create a profile, upload their resume, and add photos of their work. Jobseekers can also include badges that indicate if someone has accredited training, is a U.S. military veteran, or has graduated from THD’s free trades training program. Profiles are available for review by local THD pro customers, which makes it easy for them to contact candidates of interest. PathtoPro.com

The paint store that never closes

T Recognizing that the work of pros rarely happens within normal business hours, PPG recently launched the PPG Paints app. The app enables pros to shop the entire PPG Paints catalog, place orders, schedule delivery or pickup, and view purchase and pricing history at any time from anywhere using a mobile device or web browser. The app caters to individual pro pricing and product preferences by offering job-specific pricing structures and a searchenabled holistic view of the company’s lineup of pro products.
