STATEHOUSE (March 19, 2021) – Hoosiers seeking a better-paying job can use the state's new Hoosier Talent Network website to match to 1 of more than 135,000 job openings, according to State Rep. Michael Aylesworth (R-Hebron).
Aylesworth said the Indiana Department of Workforce Development's new online tool located at in.gov/dwd connects individuals searching for work directly to employers in their desired location. Companies that are hiring can also use the website to connect with candidates.
"Finding a job can be stressful, and hiring the right candidate can be difficult as well," Aylesworth said. "This new online tool connects employers directly to the job seeker, and makes the process easier and faster."
According to Aylesworth, the platform is powered by artificial intelligence and can understand a job seeker's skills and capabilities to match them to relevant positions. To get started, Hoosiers create a profile by answering basic questions about themselves, which takes about 5 minutes. Job recommendations will appear based on qualifications and capabilities. Applications can be submitted through the website or through company career sites.
Aylesworth encourages local Hoosiers to visit in.gov/dwd to connect to the Hoosier Talent Network, and other education and training resources.
