WoodJobs.com

What WoodJobs.com does

WoodJobs.com is a specialized staffing and recruitment firm focused exclusively on the North American wood and woodworking industries, operating as a brand of National Search Group, Inc., a privately held Florida corporation headquartered in Miami. Founded in 1993, the firm serves both employers (sawmills, custom millwork shops, cabinetry and casework manufacturers, retail fixture producers, engineered wood product and building materials companies, and construction firms) and job seekers across seven industry verticals: Lumber & Forest Products, Custom Architectural Millwork, Custom Casework & Cabinetry, Retail Store Fixtures, Building Materials & EWP, Allied Sectors, and Construction & Real Estate Development.

The core platform consists of the WoodJobs.com job board (jobs.woodjobs.com) for self-serve job search, a candidate database for resume submission and personalized matching, and a suite of free resources including a Wood Industry Job Search Toolkit and a weekly refreshed Top Talent Showcase that distributes pre-screened candidate profiles to employers. Underlying technology is functional rather than differentiated: a WordPress-hosted content and lead-capture front end, a job-listing management system, and resume-submission workflows, with no public API, SDK, or developer-facing integrations.

The business model is professional services / managed services. Revenue is generated through six placement modalities: Permanent Placement, Contract Staffing, Executive Search, Retained Search, Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), and Contingency Search. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the contingency model carries no upfront employer cost with fees on successful placement, while retained and executive search command larger fixed engagements. Distribution is a hybrid of direct sales (dedicated recruitment consultants, account managers, enterprise field sales) and self-serve (job board, resume submission, contact forms), supported by content marketing, SEO, and a multi-channel social presence. The firm holds membership in the Staffing Industry Association, American Staffing Association, Woodworking Manufacturers Association, and Architectural Woodwork Institute, and reports strong reputation metrics (4.9 Google rating across 398+ reviews, 4.8 Trustpilot, 5.0 Glassdoor). National Search Group also operates parallel staffing brands (MetalRecruiters.com, PlasticStaffing.com, HealthStaffingGroup.com), indicating a multi-vertical holding-company structure.
