Do you need help finding skilled workers?

Missouri's job posting system showcases an electronic job matching website, www.GreatHires.org, which helps employers find qualified workers and job seekers find suitable employment. GreatHires.org offers no cost access to Missouri's largest hiring pool of applicants, with an easy streamlined five-step posting process that includes controls to ensure qualified matches with the skills and experience specified by each employer. This includes a ranking process of qualified candidates for more precise matching to business needs.

A customized home page with a consolidated list of all job postings, searches, and communication is provided. We have associates who can enter your job orders for you, or teach you how to operate the system from your office. You will see a link to GreatHires.org on the right of the screen. The “What's This” link beneath it leads to PowerPoint explanations of how to use this program for both Job Seekers and Employers.

Each Monday we host a meeting in our Career Center called Job Club where an employer can give information about their company and their job openings to Career Center clients looking for work and meet afterwards with them if time allows. Many employers use this opportunity to explain their hiring procedures or give job seekers tips to help them better understand the process from an employer's point of view.

The Missouri Career Center retrains appropriate workers such as those dislocated by business closures who are then available through the pool of workers in our GreatHires.org database of job seekers.

The Missouri Career Center also hosts quarterly recruitment events where upwards of 20 employers set up tables and talk to job seekers about their openings. We also have a Business Services Center available with computer, conference table, phones and other equipment to help facilitate interviewing in our office when the need arises. All of these services are available at no cost to the employer.

Businesses hiring foreign workers can receive assistance in completing the required federal applications. The Division of Workforce Development staff provide initial application processing for the federal Department of Labor, reviews applications for completeness, offers recruitment assistance, and provides prevailing wage determinations to employers.
