EMPLOYERS

 
 

Employers who don’t list job openings with the Department of Labor and Workforce Development are missing out on an important pool of applicants.


Think you will be flooded with unqualified applicants?  Not true.  Job-seekers referred by the Department of Labor or by Career Center staff have been screened to match the needs of each vacancy.  The department will also only refer the number of applicants you want to consider.  The services are FREE.


Think its a lot of paperwork?  Paperwork, and the time it takes from your schedule, is kept at a minimum.  Here’s how to list jobs:


  1. 1.  By Web
        Simply access the Tennessee employer eCMATS site, register or log in and submit your job openings via https://ecmats.state.tn.us/eCMATS/.

  2. 2.  By Phone
        Call the nearest Career Center (click here for locations) with a description of the job you need filled.  Staff members can even help you prepare the descriptions.

  3. 3.  By Fax
        Visit http://www.state.tn.us/labor-wfd/LB0610.pdf and download the job order fax transmittal form.  Fax it to the nearest Career Center (click here for locations).  These cannot be accepted at the Center for Workforce Development office in New Tazewell or Greeneville after August 30th.

  4. 4. Information you will need
        Your job listing should include the following:  the contact person; job title; educational requirements and/or minimum years of experience needed; list of duties; and work schedule if available.


Providing the salary schedule may help applicants decide if the job is right.  Job seekers will likely need to know if the job is temporary or permanent.  The job order should also include interviewing instructions.  For example, are interviews done by appointment only or should applicants drop in during a specific time period?


With this information, staff members will identify and interview qualified applicants.  Those applicants will follow your contact method.  Each applicant brings a referral letter/card.  Please complete this card and drop it in the mail.
