EmploymentCrossing, one of the world’s largest job-board operators, has recently launched ECommerceCrossing. As part of the EmploymentCrossing job-site franchise, ECommerceCrossing is seeking to list every e-commerce job in the United States in one place.

Pasadena, CA — An electronic commerce or e-commerce professional mostly conducts trading of goods and services via Internet. A large percentage of electronic commerce is conducted entirely electronically for virtual items such as access to premium content on a website, but most electronic commerce involves the transportation of physical items in some way. These professionals are sometimes known as online retailers or e-tailers. Software publishers also form a major part of e-commerce professionals.

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

According to US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the employment outlook for e-commerce professionals is expected to rise by a whopping 32-38% over the decade, 2006-2016. E-commerce programming jobs are highly sought after and always in demand. Demand for software publishing services will grow as a result of an increasing reliance on information technology, combined with falling prices of computers and related hardware.

E-commerce is also automating many steps in the transaction of business between companies; hence businesses are also moving their supply networks online and developing online marketplaces. Another significant factor according to the report that is contributing to the growth in e-commerce and software is computer security. Software publishers, computer programmers for X-Cart and Zen-Cart, and database professionals will be the most sought after professionals in the field of e-commerce for the decade.

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

ECommerceCrossing was launched to assist e-commerce professionals with sorting out the opportunities that they may not find out about otherwise. Unlike other job boards, the site focuses solely on e-commerce jobs, and it doesn’t charge employers to post jobs.

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

''There is an astonishing number of e-commerce job openings out there. We want to find them all,'' he says.

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