    BOSTON, MA, April 06, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Trade Hounds, the only online jobs community exclusively focused on the needs and interests of tradespeople and blue collar workers, today announced that it has formed an alliance with ZipRecruiter, one of the country's largest and highest-rated job search platforms. Under the terms of the arrangement, ZipRecruiter will make approximately 1 million of its job listings for tradespeople and blue collar workers accessible via the Trade Hounds site.

"We're very pleased to be working with ZipRecruiter, a clear industry leader with more than 9 million jobs and great brand recognition.

"We're excited to partner with Trade Hounds to help bring our job listings to their unique audience of tradespeople and blue collar workers," said Dennis Alshuler, Vice President of Business Development at ZipRecruiter.
