BOUNTIFUL -- An aggressive outreach program campaign to inform businesses about cost-effective and time saving recruiting, hiring and placement services was launched Monday by the Utah Department of Workforce Services (DWS), according to DWS Executive Director Raylene Ireland.
The five-month campaign is designed to increase awareness and usage of the state's network of business solution services, which provide employers with free-of-charge information and assistance in located qualified job applicants.
"The Department of Workforce Services is the most comprehensive employer resource the State of Utah has ever provided," said Ireland. "Our database includes one of the most extensive listings of job seekers statewide, providing employers with an easy and efficient way to post openings and search for qualified workers online."
But the DWS offers much more than just a Web site. Local Department of Workforce Services business consultants can connect Utah businesses with countless solutions that enhance their workforce and grow their business.
If a company is downsizing, DWS business consultants can help place dislocated workers into new positions. There is no charge for any of these services -- supporting effective business operations is part of the department's commitment to invigorating the state's economy.
"We're launching this campaign to coincide with the acceleration of Utah's economic recovery," said DWS Deputy Director Darin Brush. "We want to encourage Utah employers to take advantage of the Department of Workforce Services and the solutions it offers."
