Recruitment

Quality jobs produce outstanding outcomes for businesses and their frontline workers. We’re here to help you fill those roles with qualified local talent and harness the benefit of attracting a workforce that reflects the communities they are anchored in.  

Our career center network is the access point for thousands of job seekers each year to obtain training and employment support. This talent pool tends to go unseen in traditional hiring practices and recruitment methods. Partner with us to promote your jobs, access prescreened candidates and connect with potential applicants via hiring events and employer panels. 

Participate in a hiring event 

We offer a variety of hiring events, worked-based-learning opportunities and employer panels to connect employers with job-ready talent pools and link job seekers with employers hiring for in-demand jobs. 

Events can be held in-person or completely virtual. We’ll work with you to determine the best format for your hiring needs.  

Past event examples include Workshop: Activate Employee Voice to Become an Employer of Choice, Small Business Day and Lender Fair and Hiring Event with MarSell Consulting.  

Email business@workforce.org to learn about upcoming hiring events and register to participate. 

Post an open position  

Open positions are published on our job board, providing additional exposure to your opportunities, pre-screening candidates and sharing those that are a match for your business’s needs.   

Help your business stand out and attract high-quality candidates 

Strategic shifts in the way employers share information about open positions and employee benefits can make a significant difference in hiring outcomes. Our business engagement team consults employers on job quality frameworks, advises on skills-based job descriptions, and provides labor market data for wage benchmarking.
