JOBS Initiative
As the economy changes, competition increases and technology advances, but one thing remains the same. You’re only as good as your team. To be successful in any business, a skilled and flexible workforce is required, but locating and developing that team isn’t always easy. WorkOne’s Job Opportunities and Business Services (JOBS) program can help.
WorkOne business consultants will help you hire the right people with the right skills for your job. The JOBS program utilizes WorkKeys, a nationally renowned system, to identify the skills that are most critical to perform a job.
Once a profile is created, WorkOne staff will recruit and screen applicants that meet your needs. Each candidate will be evaluated using WorkKeys assessments that provide objective and reliable information about each applicant’s skill level. Candidates that meet the skills levels identified by the job profile will be referred to you, allowing you to hire employees that are qualified to do the job. By utilizing both WorkKeys job profiles and assessments, your hiring process will be legally defensible.
