Employer on-site services

Employers can access a wide variety of FREE services and activities to assist them with recruiting, hiring and other business needs.  Here are just some of the ways that we can help you save time and money.

Job postings
Ohio Means Jobs, a statewide electronic job-matching system, allows employers to post job openings and search online for resumes. You can register and create an employer account by visiting Ohio Means Jobs and then clicking on the "Employer" section.

Employers may also post jobs in Workforce One’s Resource Room where job seekers visit to look for employment and/or training opportunities. To post a job opening, employers can fill out our job order form and email back to Whitney Read , Business Services Liaison at readw@odjfs.state.oh.us
