NPMA program provides unlimited job postings and recruitment solutions

FAIRFAX VA - As the pest control industry enters 2026 member companies continue to identify workforce challenges as a primary concern. NPMA's Workforce Development Program is addressing this need through proven recruitment strategies including unlimited job postings for all members launched in April 2025.

The program's multi-channel marketing approach includes social media campaigns targeted digital advertising and partnerships with military transition programs through SkillBridge. The program raises public awareness about industry careers and drives qualified applicants to PestControlJobs.com and Careers.PestControlJobs.com. NPMA develops partnerships with established organizations that serve targeted audiences including veterans, students, older adults, women, and people from historically underrepresented groups to widen the talent pipeline. The program supports NPMA members with workforce development initiatives by providing recruitment and retention guides training and tools.
