About Employer Services

To obtain access to this FREE service, employers need to register through their home state to take advantage of the America's Job Bank network. This is necessary to ensure data integrity. As an Employer, if any of the following conditions apply to your business you are NOT eligible to use this system.

1. you require significant monetary investment by a job seeker

2. you charge a fee to job seekers

3. the position you are trying to fill is involved in a labor dispute

Once an employer has filed a registration in their state, their status is reviewed by state Employment Service personnel. Until the state validation is completed, the employer may browse the resume file, but will not be given access to any job seeker information. The validation process generally takes no more than three (3) business days. Once the employer is validated, they have access to the following FREE services:

• Post job listings
  • direct data entry
  • automated posting service

  This allows employers to use the method that best suits their needs, technical capabilities, and volume to place their listings directly into the AJB/state job order data base. As part of the registration process, employers will be able to indicate their preferences. Employers also get to choose the method by which they wish to receive job seeker information.

• Update Job Listings
  • modify information
  • adjust status (i.e. close, extend, archive)

  Once jobs have been listed, employers have complete control of the jobs. They can modify information in the body of the job and/or adjust the status. All orders are open for 45 days. During that 45 day period, employers can Close the job, which will purge it from the data base; Extend the job, which will add another 45 days to the time the order stays in the data base; and Archive the job, which removes it from the data base, but allows it to be recalled in the future.

• Search for Resumes
  
  1. Occupation search
  2. Keyword search
  3. Number search

  • Occupation Search: starting with twenty-two (22) broad occupational areas, provides the capability to refine the search to a more specific pre-defined occupational group. You can also refine the search using several advanced search criteria such as the location in which the job seeker is available, required education, resumes entered within a specific time period, and salary range. (An in-depth description of the Occupation Search is available.)

  • Keyword Search: provides the capability to choose one or more title, objective, or skill words important for the position being filled. A keyword search can be performed for any or all specified keywords. The same advanced search criteria available in the Occupation search are also available for the Keyword search. ( An in-depth description of the Keyword Search is available.)

  • Number Search: provides the ability to search for specific resumes according to their resume number. (An in-depth description of the Number Search is available.)

  Any search may be saved (stored), then retrieved and run at any time.

  Resume Scout: Resume Scout is a special search feature for Employers. It gives the option to have stored resume searches run automatically. When these resume searches are run, any new matches will generate an e-mail notification to you. To use Resume Scout, you need to register, and create and save a resume search.

  Search Results: The results of a Keyword search will be listed with those resumes having the largest concentration of relevant criteria appearing first in the list; Occupation searches will be listed by location. For each search, you can choose to have search results listed in groups of 10, 25, 50, or 100 resumes at a time.
