Careerbuilder has announced the launch of WorkInRetail.com, a niche job board that connects job seekers interested in retail with employers such as Circuit City, Levi’s, and Target.
Careerbuilder cites one of their surveys, which revealed that 36 percent of retail employers are encumbered by vacancies they are unable to fill, as the main impetus for the site’s creation. 
“WorkInRetail.com will help retailers compete more effectively with other industries for qualified talent and make the talent acquisition process much more efficient for retailers,” said Ben Jablow, Managing Director of WorkInRetail.com. “Many job seekers are only aware of a few of the available retail positions, but in reality there are so many different types of retail jobs from finance to human resources to web development to market research to loss prevention. WorkInRetail.com will help elevate the profile of retail employment by educating job seekers about the long-term, diverse career opportunities that exist in retail.”
Careerbuilder said the site hosts thousands of part-time and full-time opportunities from over 150 employers.

I think it’s interesting that Career Builder is turning focus to part-time positions. There are a lot of sites out there that are better suited- such as http://www.flexhire.com or http://www.snagajob.com.
