You have a company    You have a conference room    You have scheduled a meeting   But you have no employees...

There are thousands of employers today finding themselves faced with the dilemma of retaining and recruiting employees in a tight labor market and a declining labor supply.  Many are struggling unsuccessfully to deal with this new challenge in the world of work.  

Are you aware that today a large portion of job seekers are utilizing the internet to search for employment opportunities?  No longer can you expect to be successful in attracting future employees by repeating the same methodology you have used in the past years.  New technology, the internet, and the latest trend towards self-service have helped to influence the significant changes we are experiencing today in the areas of job search and employee recruitment. 

The Kentucky Department for Employment Services' Kentucky Job Bank (KJB) is one of the largest and most widely recognized internet Job Search sites available today that has been created specifically for Kentucky employers and job seekers.  Jobs listed with your local DES Office will be made available to job seekers in your local area, regionally, statewide and nationally through the national network of Employment Services' America's Job Bank. 

No longer must you only think locally when recruiting-with the internet you can think globally.  That is why it is in the best interest of your company to ensure that all of your job openings, from entry-level to your technical, professional, and management positions, receive the extensive exposure offered through your Kentucky Job Bank web site.   

The Department for Employment Services maintains a high level of internet activity.  Resumes are received not only from Kentucky residents, but from all over the United States and foreign countries such as Japan, Germany, and Russia, to name a few.  The resumes are from all backgrounds; professional, technical, medical, education, service, etc.  There have been resumes from individuals who have maintained million dollar budgets to a foreign consulate.  Granted you may not be in need of a foreign consulate at this time, but if you ever do, you now know where to find one. 

If you are not currently utilizing this newest form of recruiting, put Kentucky's On-Line Job Order Form in your favorites for the next time you have a job opening.  The service is free to you, the employer and to the job seekers who are searching for the right employment opportunity.
