We can help you identify, recruit, and hire the ideal candidates for your company with access to labor market information, industry intelligence, and qualified talent pools.
You can also post jobs for free on the NJ Department of Labor’s National Labor Exchange portal.
YOU interview, and YOU make the hiring decisions — always.
Hiring & Training Incentives
Employees are your most important asset but can also be your most significant expense.
Our programs offset some costs associated with hiring and training.
Diversify
Attracting and retaining good employees can be challenging. However, there is a valuable untapped pool of underemployed job seekers
By diversifying your workforce, you can meet the demands of a changing job market and connect with more eligible candidates.
Furthermore, hiring workers from specific groups can result in tax credits for employers during the first year of employment, and there is no limit to the number of new hires that can qualify for these benefits.
