Pasadena, CA -- (SBWire) -- 05/25/2010 -- A fighting job market has been witnessed in Baltimore wherein more and more job opportunities for the middle class are coming up, due to efforts put in by the government. Tech jobs and all types of green jobs are encouraged to be brought about by the government. BaltimoreCrossing, the job board aggregator of all jobs in Baltimore, is still consistently adding up jobs, adding about 5,600+ jobs this week, according to the company executives.

BaltimoreCrossing, the newly launched job board for the people of Baltimore, aspires to list a comprehensive collection of researched job openings available in the state. The job site even features jobs from Fortune 500 and Inc. 500 companies, and nearly from every job source of each and every domain and industry. BaltimoreCrossing aspires to transform the careers and lives of thousands of e-commerce professionals every week and every day.

Jobs in Baltimore are just coming up especially in the technology sector, according to analysts. Some companies across Greater Baltimore are adding jobs as fast as they can. Some of the companies and institutions adding jobs are John Hopkins University, ManTech International Group, McCormick and Co., ITT Corp, KEYW Corp. and AAI Corp. Environmental workers are certainly in demand and two grants worth $1 million have been awarded to Civic Works to put toward green collar job training. The money will also be utilized to move job training operations to the Baltimore Center for Green Careers.

Meanwhile, there are national defense-related companies and cyber security companies who need skillful IT professionals but are not getting people with the right amount of skill and security clearance. Perks and bonuses are also thrown in, to attract job seekers there.

Elsewhere, job cuts are also in vogue. Legg Mason Inc. has decided to eliminate 250 jobs in Baltimore and 350 overall which is about 10% of its workforce. The cuts are part of the restructuring plan initiated to save the company between $130 million to $150 million from 2012. The company also posted profits for the quarter of about $63.6 million.

“In this market, it is extremely hard to get a job with a recruiter, and recruiters typically work with very few companies,” says A. Harrison Barnes, founder and CEO of BaltimoreCrossing. “Job openings that are not widely known or publicized are the easiest jobs to get.”

On the other hand, presently, BaltimoreCrossing has more than 21,000 jobs in its million-dollar database scoured from every nook and cranny of the state. BaltimoreCrossing was launched to assist working professionals as well as non-working professionals with sorting out the opportunities that they may not find out about otherwise. Unlike other job boards, the site focuses solely on jobs based in Baltimore only, and it doesn’t charge employers to post jobs.

“BaltimoreCrossing is a research company that works for job seekers,” Barnes says. “We seek to connect you to employers.” Barnes also emphasizes that BaltimoreCrossing is committed to finding new sources of jobs daily.

“There is an astonishing number of job openings out there. We want to find them all,” he says.

BaltimoreCrossing charges $29.95 a month to view its job-opening research. As part of the site’s new campaign, BaltimoreCrossing is offering a free, seven-day trial to allow job seekers to familiarize themselves with the service.
