Version 12.1 of Virtual OneStop® will provide jobseekers the ability to search for available jobs using a search engine that aggregates jobs from company and government websites, newspaper postings and corporate job boards. Job searches can be conducted within a radius of a zip code, by city or county, by metropolitan or workforce area, or on a statewide basis. Job seekers will also be able to search for training opportunities within the system. In addition to job search functionality, Virtual OneStop® will also provide Labor Market Information and skill requirements for each job listing. In addition to labor exchange functionality; jobseekers can develop resumes and cover letters and then submit them directly to the employer online.
Employers can easily post jobs, as well as search for talent and rank the candidates according to best fit using the automated system. Employers can access recent training graduates and labor market information. This gives them a competitive advantage in knowing whether or not their wage and benefit offerings are comparable.
