 Julie Zimmerman heads up human resources for the Beaverton office of Stream. Stream offers telephone support for many major software and hardware companies. Stream hires a lot of employees - and the company needed a way to get good quality referrals to their website to apply. So Julie picked up the phone and called WorkSource Oregon. Account Representatives from partner Oregon Employment Department answered the call. "We've had them come out on site, and they toured our facilities to have a better understanding of our environment, so when they are talking to individuals looking for work they can better explain the job what they'll be doing and what the environment is like." Once the WorkSource Oregon staff had a line on what requirements Julie needed, they responded with lots of qualified candidates. "We post our positions with them on an ongoing basis. Applicants then come to our website to apply, and we can see that the majority of those referrals come from WorkSource Oregon. "In the last year we've had a huge amount of success with referrals from WorkSource Oregon." Now Julie can save costs on advertising her openings, and spend time sifting through the qualified candidates she gets from WorkSource Oregon. "It's a wonderful resource. We do advertising that is very expensive, especially in the newspaper. But with WorkSource Oregon we just give them a call or send in our information online and they post it and it's not a lot of time commitment on our part - it's very easy to do." To find out just how easy it is - contact a WorkSource Oregon Center near you, or go online to our recruiting application: iMatchSkills. With iMatchSkills you can enter job requirements 24/7 then match to Oregon's largest pool of qualified applicants. You can customize your own account and have the option of direct contact by job seekers or screening by a professional account representative. The best news is that all this comes with no hidden fees - in fact, no extra cost at all. The services of WorkSource Oregon have been prepaid through employer payroll taxes. |
