Don’t Get Steamrolled by the Latest Technology
In our digital age of iPads and smartphones, more people use the Internet for the information, services, and products they need than any other medium in the world. This ever-growing movement has forever transformed the business landscape. Today, companies are forced to use the Internet to build their reputation, sell products, and attract employees. And this applies to every business in every industry! With more than 2 billion people online, a business’s failure to roll with the technological punches can lead to its demise.

Despite its importance, many companies in welding-related industries have trouble staying up-to-date with all the online avenues they can take to enhance their business. Luckily for them, AWS WeldLink can help.

WeldLink Benefits Businesses
WeldLink is a free and fully-online career planning and management tool designed specifically for the needs of welders and welding professionals. WeldLink also offers distinct benefits for businesses. To help companies grow, WeldLink functions as a one-stop shop for finding qualified workers, building name recognition, and staying connected.

Find Qualified Workers
Finding the right person for a job can be like looking for a needle in a hay stack. WeldLink helps businesses find that needle using digital skills badges that bring jobseekers and employers together. Digital badges are virtual representations of a welder’s current knowledge, skills, certifications, career, and education. These very same badges can be used by businesses to indicate the requirements of the available position. When there is a match, WeldLink will automatically notify both the business and the jobseeker. With just one click, the employer can read the jobseeker’s full profile and resume. If they like what they see, another click puts the employer in contact with the candidate. This means that employers don’t have to spend countless hours searching for the best candidate. WeldLink does all the work so that employers can get back to running their businesses.

Build Name Recognition

Creating a profile is easy, free, and fast. In fact, it only takes a few minutes to complete. A company’s mere presence on WeldLink can help attract new business and increase consumer trust.
