New account upgrade helps employers connect with candidates in Northeast Minnesota and Northwest Wisconsin.
Unprecedented access to local workforce data and job matching technology is now available on northforce.org. Registered employers have the option to upgrade their accounts to conduct targeted searches of the NORTHFORCE Talent Community, refining their search by candidate experience level, area of expertise, and more criteria.
Talent ACCESS PRO allows employers to connect directly with job seekers and view the resumes of those who match the specific requirements of their job openings. This advanced search option also enables employers to bookmark and contact matching candidates.
The #NorthByChoice Talent Community encompasses 3,900+ users and grows by an average of 500 candidates every six months. Around 1,000 candidates have elected to make their profiles public and searchable by registered employers. NORTHFORCE staff also sort through the additional 1,100+ private profiles and encourage qualified candidates to apply to relevant openings posted at the Talent ACCESS PRO level.
Talent ACCESS PRO employers receive curated resume packets from the NORTHFORCE Resume Database. NORTHFORCE also scrapes job postings on a regular basis for Talent ACCESS PRO employers, posting them on northforce.org.
“This was a very seamless process from beginning to end and Aitkin Growth saw a significant number of applicants that were identified through this job posting process by NORTHFORCE,” attests Michael Hagen, Executive Director of Aitkin Growth, who was one of the first employers to use Talent ACCESS to make a local hire.
Posting open positions and auto-sending job posts to matched candidates remain available on a free basis to all registered NORTHFORCE employers.
